About the Game

Hotspot Earth pits you against an onslaught of environmental hazards in a strategic horde survival arena with party-management and simulation elements.

Every country you visit challenges you with a unique set of monsters. Dodge the hazards, fight back with the power of your allies, and rescue important locations from the brink of collapse. Build your movement, shape society, and help humanity survive.

Features

  • Quick rounds of fast-paced horde survival action (30-40 minutes per full run)

  • Additional side quests and challenges per country

  • Endless builds with "game-breaking" potential

  • As your network grows, its members influence each other. Increase their effectiveness by placing them strategically

  • Your strategic choices heavily influence the late-game climate - from a light breeze to a devastating inferno
