HORDEKILL is a challenging third-person sci-fi cover shooter taking you to an alien world of grotesque visuals and brutal combat. In an unknown realm, you slay hordes of nightmarish monsters and receive gameplay-changing offerings from a higher entity that make every run different. You’ll explore and fight in a stunning sci-fi setting full of biomechanical sculptures and gruesome torture devices. Exterminate hundreds of extraterrestrial creatures and make it out alive through an underground cave system.
First-person prologue
Third-person combat
Gameplay-changing cards
Every run is different, as after every wave you can pick gameplay-changing cards that make you stronger and the combat more dynamic. Earn powerful offerings between waves that can turn a desperate last stand into a massacre. From cards that make enemies fight each other to powerful elite cards that make you deal more damage and spawn grotesque beasts that help you in spectacular fights.
Story
The game is from the perspective of a slave. You fight against your former masters, who conquered your planet and enslaved your race. Your kind were tortured and destined to be eaten by their higher Lords.
A fellow escaped slave fights beside you and helps you with a shotgun, but his fate is to eventually fall in battle. With the right cards and skill, however, he can cover your back for just a little bit longer.
