Hordeguard is a brutal 3D action tower defense with RPG and strategy elements, playable solo or in local co-op. Build, fortify, and defend your Viking settlement against hordes of mythical creatures. Explore the realms of Norse mythology, gather resources, and make choices that decide between survival and ruin. Build. Defend. Conquer. Withstand the storm. 
The horde is coming, and there’s no time to rest. Every wave grows stronger, every battle bloodier. Your only chance is to fight smarter, strike harder, and rebuild faster than the enemy can destroy. Victory belongs to those who never fall.
Expand your village, upgrade your defenses, and turn humble walls into an unbreakable fortress. Each upgrade demands more resources, but rewards you with greater strength and resilience. The stronger your base, the harder it is for the horde to break through - if you can afford the cost.
As you battle and earn XP, you’ll unlock upgrade cards that boost your skills and fortifications. Pick your path - become a fierce warrior, a master builder, or the ultimate defender. Every card you choose makes you stronger for the next fight.
Fight side by side in local co-op and discover the true power of teamwork. Whether you play as a shield-bearing axe warrior or a skilled huntress with bow and arrows, every role matters. One gathers resources while the other builds; one defends while the other repairs. Together you adapt, survive, and laugh in the chaos — because no Viking should stand alone.
