The Horde

Step into the shoes of Sir Chauncey, a bumbling but brave peasant, in The Horde. This unique MS-DOS title blends real-time strategy with action-adventure elements, putting you in charge of defending innocent villagers from ravenous, flesh-eating beasts. As the Emperor's new champion, your task is to establish and protect thriving villages across the land. You'll manage your gold, decide where to build, and strategically place traps and defenses. When the Horde attacks, the game shifts to an overhead action view, where you directly control Chauncey, swinging your mighty Sword of Lightning to hack and slash through the invading monsters. Between rounds, enjoy humorous, full-motion video cutscenes that drive the quirky narrative. Can you save the empire from utter destruction and clear your name? Prepare for a challenging and often hilarious fight for survival against a relentless enemy.
