About

Heroes vs. Hordes is a high-octane roguelite survival RPG where you face relentless waves of enemies in the fantasy world of Midlantica. Unlike idle games, this title demands active engagement with one-hand controls, challenging you to dodge thousands of monsters while strategically upgrading your hero in real-time. With a massive roster of heroes and deep weapon synergies, every run offers a unique test of reflexes and tactical planning.

Story

The ancient Horde has breached the rifts between realms, threatening to annihilate the vibrant world of Midlantica. From the Haunted Forest to the Bone Desert, heroes from every faction must unite to push back the encroaching darkness. As a commander of these forces, you journey through cursed lands, uncovering the mystery behind the rifts and facing titanic bosses that guard the secrets of the void.

Gameplay

Experience the thrill of 'Bullet Heaven' gameplay combined with deep RPG progression. Players control movement while attacks fire automatically based on cooldowns, but survival relies on manual dodging and collecting experience gems to trigger level-ups. Between runs, you forge legendary equipment, unlock permanent talents, and evolve your heroes to withstand increasingly difficult chapters and competitive arena challenges.
