When the action stops you will have a moment to think about what your next move will be. You can play cards and abilities only when the time is stopped: plan carefully your actions! <img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/2686160/extras/d1c7bcbbf014ea9e67e9d71d2ba0d921.avif?t=1709305569" width=600 height=80 /> There are tons of minions at your disposal. Your spellbook has access to the most powerful sorceries. Experiment and find hidden combos and synergies! Have your Ossean priests worship Death, sacrifice your cultists to summon the mightiest of all demons, discover epic allies for your quest! <img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/2686160/extras/bf2e5b7971d36000fcbda88d025f9ddc.avif?t=1709305569" width=600 height=80 /> The objective of the game is simple: either you plunder the enemy Village or you manage to resist for 3 days fending off the assault of angry Villagers. Send your Goblin Looters to seize precious Gold, grasp the Souls of slain Villagers and then raze the enemy settlement! Between each battle you can spend the loot to acquire new cards, improve your abilities or learn powerful skills! <img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/2686160/extras/edb8a0ec4f814774da89c19e6e08d92c.avif?t=1709305569" width=600 height=80 /> You can plan ahead your strategy: choose how to spend your loot, which abilities to upgrade and select the best skills that suit your strategy. For every successful run you will be rewarded with an upgraded card! Upgrades are permanent and you will benefit from them for each upcoming run in the game! <img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/2686160/extras/b38a75e3466cd35bdd7271931ed31645.avif?t=1709305569" width=600 height=240 /><h2 class="bb_tag" >The Dark Horde will launch with these features and more:</h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li> 3 Premade Decks to experiment with! </li><li> Unlockable cards! </li><li> 50+ different cards! </li><li> Hundreds of powerful combos to discover! </li><li> Humongous replayability! </li><li> An endless supply of Goblin Looters at your mercy! </li><li> Beautiful soundtrack by Alexander Nakarada</li></ul>

The Dark Horde Demo

In The Dark Horde, you control the battlefield with a deck of cards. Summon hordes of minions, cast devastating spells, and tap into the forbidden power of the Four Domains: Death, Destruction, Corruption, and Frost. It’s not just what you’ll conquer, but how you’ll become the most feared Dark Mage!

Every action you take costs Time Units (TUs), forcing you to think ahead. <video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/2682860/extras/9a9fe474e8f75eede8047863342bfae0.poster.avif?t=1758961224" width=600 height=338 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/2682860/extras/9a9fe474e8f75eede8047863342bfae0.webm?t=1758961224" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/2682860/extras/9a9fe474e8f75eede8047863342bfae0.mp4?t=1758961224" type="video/mp4"></video>Once you've spent your TUs, you must wait for your turn to resume.
