About This Game

"Even if a hundred bodies of mine lie rotting in the wild grass, and a thousand of my corpses are wrapped in horsehide, I would still gladly do it."

Trần Hưng Đạo, to his officers in 1284, vowing he would rather fight and die than submit to the Mongols

Đại Việt, 1287

Nearly 200,000 soldiers of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and their submitted allies have marched across the border into Đại Việt, laying waste to the north and hoping to add the stubborn kingdom to their vast conquests. Your orders are simple: make them pay one hundred-fold in blood for every inch of native soil they cross until Trần Hưng Đạo can rally the country. 

100 Bodies in the Grass is a wave-based 4-player co-op defense game, set in medieval Vietnam, combining elements of roguelikes and tower/hero defenses with the combat of an ARPG. 

Four Against Yuan

Play solo or with up to three friends, choosing between 4 unique heroes, each with their own set of customizable weapon loadouts and skill trees, enabling a wide range of playstyles. 

Hold the Line

Hold key defensive positions throughout the course of the Third Mongol Invasion of Vietnam, including a northern village, a mountain monastery, and the decisive Battle of Bach Dang. Village and militia mechanics provide numerous strategies and painful decisions for what to prioritize when the gates are breached. 

  • Raise bamboo palisades, towers, spike pits, and other defensive emplacements to funnel enemy soldiers into kill zones 

  • Build and defend key structures to maintain access to upgrades, bonuses and abilities

  • Train and arm the local militia, turning farmers into an organized fighting force

The Yuan

Over a dozen enemy types and bosses, bringing the might of the vast Mongol Empire to the rice fields of your village. 

A New Invasion Every Game

Procedurally generated villages and waves means a new experience every time, complete with different challenges and opportunities. An Endless Wave mode lets you test your mettle against the performance of players around the world. 

Early Access

Early access will be made available, unlocking Act I.
