A horde of gluttons attack: defend the crops!
The Horde is a top down strategic game, a sort of base defense game, but a fairly cool one, storywise. In the universe of the game, there are very gluttonous baddies, that want nothing more than to devour an entire crop of foods in no more than just a small amounts of time. The local king appoints you as the local savior of the crops, and thus, from a top down perspective, you will engage in trying to save the crops from the attacks. You basically play to get as many points as possible, and these points are awarded to you by counting the number of villagers and the number of crops that survive each invasion, each level/season. In terms of the tyle, the game looks a bit like a 16bit era top down action/role playing game, with enough detail on the tiles to not give you pause. However, the puzzle like/strategic build of the game is much better suited for short bursts of play, rather than for longer sessions. Still, The Horde is a pretty cool game, at times very busy, still very playable. Download Food Force for a different take on food related gaming, with a more strategic upbringing.
