At the Polish pavilion of Gamescom 2024, which will be held in Cologne, Germany from August 21 to 25, 2024, the PC action game "Be My Horde" developed by Polished Games, an indie studio in the country, will be exhibited. was.

"Be My Horde" is a title created by creator Krzysztof Dade...o and about 10 other members, and Polished Games' second work following the 2DRPG "Realms of Magic" in 2022. This is an eye-catching new work. It's a so-called ``Vampire Survivor'' title in which the player takes on the role of Moriana , a ferocious necromancer, and conquers stages while recruiting various characters to his side.

The main character, Moriana, is similar to "Vampire Survivor" in that it does not explain why she is fighting or where she is going.

Moriana herself has no way to fight the enemy directly, but by reviving the defeated opponent as a zombie, she creates a meat shield around herself and fights. At first, you start with a weak follower as your ally, defeat the enemy while fending off attacks with a wall of flesh, and then repeat the process of gaining zombies as your ally. Zombies that become allies inherit the characteristics of defeated enemies, but at first the only allies are weak minnows such as farmers with pitchforks and sheep. Even weak allies can fight in numbers, so form a swarm to defeat powerful enemies such as full-armored warriors and upgrade your allies.



As time passes, enemy attacks become more and more aggressive, but the quality of enemy units improves faster than the quality of the player's allies, allowing the player to constantly move around and make sure he has enough troops to protect himself. We need to protect and fight. After playing for a while, you'll find yourself surrounded by hundreds of zombies, and the sight is spectacular.
As you play and earn points, you can choose one of the three types of cards that are randomly displayed to strengthen Moriana.
It is unknown how many cards there are, but there are ``Corpse Explosion'' that explodes corpses when revived, ``Wooly Warriors'' that makes a ``hairy warrior'' appear, and ``Aura of Warriors'' that surrounds Moriana with an aura and absorbs enemy attacks. "Decay" etc. were confirmed.



Vansaba-type games are being mass-produced, but ``Be My Horde'' is a reversal of the idea in that the player becomes the ``villain'', and the feature is that the player indirectly defends against the enemies that come one after another. It's shining. In addition to moving Moriana, the game's one-play accent is to press the space bar to revive the corpses of enemies around you. By the way, it takes a certain amount of time to revive a corpse.



"Be My Horde" started early access on Steam on June 19th, and I think it deserves a little more attention as a game with a unique system and quick play. According to the information on the Steam store page, Japanese is not supported, but there doesn't seem to be much to read other than card information, so if you're interested, you can start playing now and watch it grow. Maybe.
