Play it if you…

Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want a slow-paced experience may hit a wall as enemy waves intensify over successive nights.
- Those who prefer recovering health independently may find the Friend Zone requirement restrictive, since healing depends on staying near teammates.
- Players looking for online multiplayer may not find it suited to their setup; the described cooperative mode is local.
Our take on Neighborhorde
The likely sticking point is the healing system: after a chaotic fight, players must regroup in the Friend Zone to recover health. Teams that spread out or prefer independent play may find that requirement hard to work around, especially as the enemy mix grows more demanding.
What is Neighborhorde?
Neighborhorde is a survival shoot-'em-up for 1–4 players, built around local cooperative play.
Players control animal kids and use toys as weapons against waves of enemies, including robots, wizards, and zombie Abe Lincolns. Each night adds toys and superpowers to the team's choices; presents around the map contain the selected weapons. Enemies grow stronger as the team does, and surviving three nights in a row leads to a boss fight. Players regain health by staying close together in the Friend Zone. The game also supports solo play, with TV-headed bots available to help while friends are away. The vendor lists 40 toys and 40 superpowers currently available.
