Overview
Slay the Horde plunges players into a hilariously "generic fantasy" world where the primary objective is survival against relentless waves of enemies. You step into the shoes of a mage, initially as unremarkable as the world around you, tasked with fending off goblins, ogres, and their larger brethren. The core gameplay loop revolves around strategically casting spells discovered throughout your runs, blending action roguelike elements with deckbuilding mechanics. Success hinges on not just skillful movement and combat, but also on the shrewd assembly of a powerful, albeit sometimes questionable, build from spells, perks, and upgrades.
Highlights
- This title combines the fast-paced action of a roguelike with the strategic depth of a deckbuilder.
- Players will experience a bullet hell experience as they cast spells against swarms of enemies.
- Developed and published by Regretware, Slay the Horde launched on September 9, 2026.
