Horde Hunter
Survive ten minutes against hundreds of cartoon monsters. Weapons fire on their own, so you dodge, collect XP gems, pick one of three upgrades each level and unlock new heroes.
Horde Hunter is an auto-shooter survival game set on a sunny meadow that slowly fills with monsters. Your hero's weapons fire on their own, so your whole job is movement: weave through the crowd, scoop up the XP gems monsters leave behind and stay out of reach. Every level-up pauses the action and offers three cards, so each run builds a different arsenal.
There are seven weapons to collect and upgrade to level five: a spark wand that seeks the nearest monster, a returning leaf boomerang, a ring of orbiting stars, a warm sun aura, a thunder bell that calls down lightning, lobbed seed bombs and a sweeping blade. Seven passive charms add health, speed, pickup range, faster cooldowns, damage, armor or regeneration. The horde grows from a few slimes to well over a hundred monsters at once, with bats, mushrooms, ghosts and pumpkins joining over time. Bat swarms close in from every side, tough golems drop treasure chests with a free upgrade, and a crowned King Slime arrives at the five-minute mark. Survive the full ten minutes to win.
Coins dropped by monsters stay in your bank between runs and unlock four more heroes, each with their own starting weapon and stats. It is a great pick for players who enjoy roguelite builds and quick, chaotic runs. Tip: early on, take a second weapon instead of only boosting your first.
How to play
Move to survive. Your weapons attack automatically. Defeated monsters drop XP gems: collect them to level up and choose one of three upgrades, either a new weapon, a weapon level or a passive bonus. Touching monsters costs health, and you lose when it runs out. Survive for 10 minutes to win. Score comes from kills, time survived and level. Coins you collect unlock new heroes.
