About the Game

Hound Riders is a tactical roguelite ammo-builder about bullets, magic, and survival in the Scarlands: a post-apocalyptic wasteland where witchcraft, dust, and rust are tangled together.

Play as a hound rider carrying a curse you do not fully understand. Travel across a nonlinear map, face deadly encounters, gather strange powers, and build your strategy bullet by bullet.

In combat, every shot matters. Choose your ammo carefully, aim at specific enemy parts to trigger tactical effects, and fire bullets in the right sequence to unleash blood-magic combos. Each run challenges you to adapt your loadout, your route, and your decisions as you uncover the truth behind your curse.

Key Features

  • Ammo-Building Combat - Craft your loadout around calibers, bullet effects, weapons, and limited resources. Every shot is a tactical decision.

  • Blood-Magic Combos - Fire bullets in specific sequences to trigger powerful blood-magic combos. Combine Sigils, Specials, ammo, and weapons to shape each run’s cursed synergies.

  • Nonlinear Wasteland Exploration - Move through the Scarlands in multiple directions, uncovering routes, events, risks, and rewards each run.

  • Targeted Turn-Based Duels - Aim at specific enemy parts to trigger effects, disable threats, or open new strategies.
