Why Early Access?

“The goal of Horde is to create a fun and intense twin-stick top-down shooter, adding more powerups, allies, weapons, and other features over time. Many of the additions and improvements to the game have been suggestions from the community. We will continue to review all feedback as we work to make Horde a experience everyone finds both fun and challenging.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Most likely several years as it is a passion project.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The first phases of development were focused on building systems and creating enough content to make the game challenging, fun, and playable. There is already an backlog of new weapons, powerups, leveling, minigames, and exploration elements planned, as well as unfinished features such as melee combat and inventory system.
When the game is complete players can expect a challenging and fun experience, with the freedom to play and enjoy Horde for a few minutes or a few hours, blasting and evading enemies with hundreds of weapons and powerups!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is currently a playable, arcade style game where the player tries to survive while achieving a high score. Currently the game features a randomized level generator, challenging AI, and a subset of the final amount of powerups and weapons, with over 2 dozen in the Early Access version. Currently players can expect a handful of playthroughs or more as they attempt to get on the game's Top Killers leaderboard, competing against all players globally.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“No, pricing will not change during the development of the game or upon final release.”
