Be My Horde is an action game with clearly defined roguelike elements, belonging to the subgenre of arena survival. This project was created by the Polish based studio Polished Games, on which Michal "Kwisc" Chwistek worked as a designer, former editor of GRYOnline.pl and Gamepressure.com. The same team also developed Realms of Magic which was released in 2022.

Gameplay

In Be My Horde we watch the action from a bird's eye view. The game takes us to a fantasy land, and the main heroine is a necromancer named Moriana. The protagonist ends up on the arena and tries to stay alive as long as possible.

Reviving opponents and creating an army

In order to survive as long as possible, the protagonist deals with anyone who stands in her way, and then adds them to her army. Although initially the necromancer only has a small and weak unit, she can resurrect any defeated opponent to fight by her side. After some time, hundreds of units march alongside her, among which we can find peasants, warriors, knights or even... sheep burning with a desire to kill.

Character development

As Moriana's army progresses, it grows to impressive sizes, but the number of adversaries attacking it also increases. This makes her death only a matter of time. When the heroine falls on the battlefield, she goes to her dark domain, where she can prepare for the next attempt. On the way, our necromancer collects the souls of her enemies, which she uses to enhance her subordinates and abilities, thereby increasing her combat potential and chances of surviving longer.

User Reviews Summary generated by AI

The main pros of the game

  • Unique Concept: The game offers a fresh take on the roguelite genre by allowing players to raise fallen enemies as minions, creating a horde that fights for them.
  • Addictive Gameplay: Many players find the core gameplay loop satisfying and engaging, especially as the horde grows larger and more powerful.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: The graphics, art style, and voice acting (particularly for the character Moriana) are praised for their quality and charm.
  • Potential for Growth: Players express optimism about future updates and content, indicating that the game has a solid foundation to build upon.

The main cons of the game

  • Lack of Content: Several reviews criticize the game for having insufficient content and variety, especially given the time it has been in development. Players note repetitive gameplay and a lack of meaningful upgrades.
  • Poor Balancing: There are significant balancing issues, particularly with the difficulty spikes in the "Hell" level and the overall pacing of the game, leading to frustrating experiences for players.
  • Limited Player Interaction: The gameplay often feels passive, as players primarily hold down a button to resurrect minions and move around without much strategic depth.
  • Technical Issues: Some players report performance problems, particularly when the screen is crowded with minions, causing frame rate drops.

The features or elements that are missing from the game according to users

  • More Content and Variety: Players desire additional units, perks, bosses, and levels to enhance replayability and depth.
  • Active Abilities: Many reviews suggest the addition of active skills or commands for minions, allowing players to have more control over their horde's behavior.
  • Improved Power-Up System: Users want more impactful and varied power-ups, as many current upgrades feel underwhelming and do not significantly affect gameplay.
  • Endless Mode: An endless mode where the game continues to ramp up in difficulty would provide a more challenging and engaging experience after defeating the main boss.
  • UI Improvements: Suggestions include adding a user interface element to display minion counts and enhancing the overall clarity of gameplay mechanics.

Summary

  • Overall, while "Be My Horde" shows promise and has a dedicated player base, it faces challenges related to content, balance, and gameplay depth that need to be addressed for broader appeal and long-term success.
