Is Horror Royale worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Horror fans who want multiplayer matches built around voice proximity and monster detection
- Friend groups who want both online sessions and 1-to-4-player local split-screen
- Players who prefer varied survival objectives and user-created Workshop content
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a tightly scripted, single-player horror campaign rather than repeatable multiplayer matches
- Players who prefer predictable encounters, since monster abilities, item spawns, fire, and adjustable settings can change each match
- Players looking for a non-horror game without monsters, blood, or jumpscares
- Players who do not use Steam, since the listing identifies the game with Steam
Our take on Horror Royale
Proximity voice chat is the defining mechanic: player speech has direction and distance, while monsters can hear conversations and react to sound.
What is Horror Royale?
Horror Royale is a multiplayer survival horror game supporting online play, local split-screen for 1 to 4 players, and mixed online sessions with split-screen players.
Matches combine cooperative and player-versus-player objectives, including collecting loot, holding an Oddball, tagging humans, surviving until 6AM, escaping through objectives, and outlasting other players. Proximity voice chat carries direction and distance, while monsters can hear player voices. Ten maps, several monster types, randomly appearing items, spreading fire, and adjustable match settings shape each session. Human AI can fill matches, and VR play is supported alongside standard controls. Steam Workshop content adds player-created monsters, human skins, and maps.
