Our take on Horde Hunters

The game combines automatic firing with optional manual aim and pause-based item use, but its combat still centers on surviving waves. Players seeking continuous, fully manual combat may find that balance limiting.

What is Horde Hunters?

Choose from 9 characters and enter a map where weapons fire automatically, with manual aiming available for the primary weapon.

Runs combine fighting large enemy groups with missions, collecting loot, leveling up, and upgrading a build. Players can pause the action to use consumables, interact with buildings, trigger events, or hire party members. The game includes 14 maps with runs typically lasting around 15–20 minutes, plus 6 endless maps with global leaderboards and a custom weekly map. Procedural layouts, changing weather, and events vary the runs. Between runs, 25 runes affect the next attempt, while 40+ power-ups support permanent progression. Custom difficulty settings and adjustable game speed offer additional ways to set up a run.
