Behold the Horde enters Early Access

The horde never stops… and the fight has just begun.

Behold the Horde is now available in Early Access. It is an action roguelike with automatic combat and infinite waves, where the goal is simple: survive as long as possible and achieve the highest score.

What does the current version include?

The Early Access version offers a stable and fully playable experience, with the core systems already implemented:

  • Multiple playable characters, each with their own attack type and playstyle

  • Different enemy types, featuring varied behaviors and threats

  • Two distinct worlds, each with its own unique dangers

  • Global league-based leaderboard, competing against players from around the world

  • Automatic combat focused on movement, decision-making and adaptation

In addition, compared to the demo, a key design change has been made:

Permanent stat upgrades have been removed. Now, every run starts from scratch, ensuring that all players have equal opportunities and that rankings depend entirely on skill, decision-making and survival.

What’s coming in future updates?

Early Access is just the beginning. Development will continue to expand and deepen the experience with new content, including:

  • New enemies with unique attacks and behaviors

  • More worlds with their own challenges

  • New playable characters

  • More complex enemy attack patterns
