The Horde Wants You Dead is a casual, top-down shooter with up to 4-player online co-op. Ambushed by an angry horde, you and your friends face a fight for survival against thousands of relentless enemies!

The CHALLENGE CREATOR is a major update to THE HORDE WANTS YOU DEAD that allows you to setup challenges how you want to. This isn't just about tweaking how big the horde is or how strong enemies are, instead we've exposed most of the game's systems to the Challenge Creator. Create extreme setups, go crazy OP, make fiendishly difficult challenges - The game is entirely in your hands!


THE HORDE WANTS YOU DEAD is a chaotic shoot'em up where you and your squad must survive against hundreds and thousands of angry and fearless enemies. The game is designed to be a challenging experience throughout - you won't find "survivors-like" OP upgrades or magical abilities here - it's just you, your weapon, some grenades and your teammates, as you use all your skill and focus to defeat ever more difficult horde onslaughts.



Test your skills over 5 levels of challenge, with increasing horde size, new enemy types and new weapons. Keep your bullets flying, throw grenades at large groups, roll away from danger. Learn and adapt to different enemies. Use all the tools at your disposal to match their quickly overwhelming numbers. And when you're ready, try Endless mode and see how long you can survive!



Gather your friends and play in 4-player online co-op. Strategize with your squad to focus on tougher enemies or try to split up the horde around the map. Keep each other alive and you might just stand a chance!



With full ragdoll physics for all enemies, send bodies and dismembered limbs flying through the air with a perfectly placed grenade. Watch as blood spurts out from every hit, slash and bullet hole, dynamically covering the arena. Gaze upon the scarred battlefields, littered with cracks and scorch marks - you could almost call it art!



Collect coins from downed enemies to earn supply crates with a selection of upgrades. From more health and faster movement to stronger grenades and lower cooldowns, improve your character and increase your fire power to keep up with the horde. Supplies are limited so pick wisely!



Fighting the horde is hard work but it pays off. Receive XP from kills, assists and wins, level up to gain skill points and then use them to permanently upgrade a stat of your choosing. Every little bit helps!
