What is The Horde Wants You Dead?

A top-down shooter where you fire guns, throw grenades, and dodge-roll through enemy hordes in arenas. Five challenge levels bring larger hordes, new enemy types, and new weapons; Endless mode tests how long you survive. Collecting coins earns supply crates with upgrades, while experience builds permanent stat bonuses.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy demanding survival runs built around shooting and dodging
  • +you like coordinating with friends against large enemy crowds

Not for you if...

  • −you want upgrades that transform weapons rather than boost stats
  • −you prefer relaxed combat without constant pressure from enemies
