Bleeding hearts, take heed—for none can escape Mistress’ gaze.
Today, Polish indie studio Polished Games invites players to rise (from the grave) to the occasion and join the shambling mob in the latest update in its top-down 2D survival roguelite, Be My Horde! Titled “Welcome to Hell”, this update follows necromancess Moriana’s banishment to the raging inferno. She’ll need to amass her faithful undead followers, utilizing her powers of necromancy and battle her way through waves of the damned. However, not even demons can resist her wicked wiles (especially if she reduces them to a corpse first.)
In Be My Horde, players embody the seductively maniacal Moriana, a powerful Lich who wants nothing more than to bring the world of the living to its knees. Voiced by the talented Amber Lee Connors (Guilty Gear: Strive, Genshin Impact), her motives are a mystery…what’s certain is they can’t be good. Aid her sordid quest and raise a malevolent army of undead minions by resurrecting each fallen enemy, no matter if it’s a weak peasant, a fierce warrior, a noble knight, or…a sheep. Devour the souls of all of them and add their bodies to the ever-expanding horde. Make no mistake, Moriana’s the villain of this story…but why shouldn’t Mistress hold the world in the palm of her sultry hands?
The Welcome to Hell update massively expands the base game by adding a whole new level: Hell itself. Besides the environmental hazards of fire tornadoes, lava ponds, and explosive volcanoes, Moriana will also have six new enemies to contend with, culminating in a showdown with the Lord of the Underworld himself: the Devil. Not to worry, though, the introduction of three new abilities—Frost Nova, Frost Bolt, and Blizzard—will help her keep her cool. This update also introduces the skill tree mechanic, where players can spend souls to increase the power of their minions.
We’d be remiss not to mention that Jacob Browning (Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat, SMITE) also lends his voice talent in this update, joining the cast as The Devil. Players can look forward to fun dialogue between the ruler of Hell and the Lich queen, who’s intent on crushing him under her heels.
