About the Game

RAISE YOUR HERD. ARM THEM FOR WAR.

Predators are hungry, but you and your flock are packing heat. Guide, graze, protect, and arm a growing herd as you cross dangerous environments, survive relentless waves of enemies, outrun a wall of fire, defeat bosses, and escape with your lives.

LAUNCH CONTENT AND FREE UPDATES

Flocked and Loaded launches with three playable biomes: Highland Valley, Tropical Islands, and The Swamp. Four additional biomes - Arctic, Desert, Crystal Cave, and Moon - are planned as free content updates. Development priorities and timing may evolve as the game grows and player feedback comes in. I'll also be adding new animals, weapons, shepherds and items regularly. 

GRAZE TO GROW & MULTIPLY

Herds be grazin'. Your herd eats grass and converts it into XP and babies. That is how you grow your numbers and level up.

UPGRADE & GET OVERPOWERED

Every time you level up, choose from a randomized pool of weapons, items, and mutations that can turn a vulnerable herd into an unstoppable, bullet-spewing army. Every run offers different challenges, opportunities, and synergies.

ESCAPE, UPGRADE, AND UNLOCK

Complete goals with different weapons, damage types, animals, and shepherds to expand the Cosmic Tree and unlock more ways to play.

KEY FEATURES

  • Herd-based combat: Your animals have minds of their own. They follow you, but they also fear predators and have distinct roles in the flock.

  • Meta-progression: Rescue animals, complete goals, and expand the Cosmic Tree to unlock new shepherds, gear, mutations, and strategies.

  • 6 unique shepherds, including secrets: Every shepherd has a different movement ability, playstyle, and starting loadout.

  • 17 herd and guardian animal types: Some attack, some defend, some heal, and some help stragglers keep up with the flock.

  • 50+ weapons and items: Combine weapons, armaments, relics, and other upgrades into game-breaking synergies.

  • Extraction-lite decisions: Evacuate at the end of a stage to secure your rewards, or keep pushing for a bigger haul.
