Hordes of Hunger News

Quality of Life Changes, Bug Fixes, and More!

[h3]Brave Warriors,[/h3]

We have been working hard on a variety of different aspects of Hordes of Hunger, and have been listening to your feedback. We are excited for the future of the game, and present to you this list of hotfixes and adjustments for the most recent update. 

[h3]ENDLESS MODE[/h3]

We’re excited about the release of Endless Mode in Early Access, and truly appreciate your patience and support. While we’re happy with the initial launch, we’ve identified some areas where improvements are needed to enhance both performance and replayability. As players progress and reach higher levels, we’ve noticed performance issues that require attention. Additionally, as your character grows stronger, the content doesn’t scale quite as we intended, which can impact the overall challenge and enjoyment. To address this, we’ve implemented several adjustments aimed at increasing difficulty in a fun and engaging way, while continuing to optimize performance behind the scenes. Your feedback is incredibly important to us during this early access phase, and we’ll be closely monitoring your experiences to guide future updates. 

  • Endless mode adjustments - Player level is capped to level 60 in Endless Mode, with increased difficulty (20%) each time the player reaches max level or when the player completes 24 quests.

Sharpen Your Blade for Zombies vs Vampires Fest!

[h3]Darkness hangs in the air, as the horde lurks around every corner.

Do you have the courage to fight?
[/h3]

[h3]We’re excited to announce that Hordes of Hunger will feature in Zombies vs Vampire Fest, giving you the chance to sink your teeth into our dynamic demo![/h3]



This Fest is for games featuring zombies or vampires… or both! Whether you play a vampire hunter stalking Dracula’s children across the continent, or a nervous kid thrust into a zombie apocalypse, this Fest is for all games featuring either of these undead monsters.

Hordes of Hunger is a 3D action survivorslike made by the creators of Blood West. Take control of Mirah to defend your homeland from a living hunger, wield powerful weapons and abilities, face wave after wave of horrifying creatures, and save others from the advancing hordes.

A lot of the monsters you encounter in Hordes of Hunger have a zombie-like resemblance and an unsettling craving for human flesh, slotting in perfectly with the themes of Zombies vs Vampires Fest.

Hotfix for Minor Bugs ⚔️

[h3]It’s not just the horde we’re hunting down in Early Access…

We’re also fighting those pesky bugs!
[/h3]

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to play Hordes of Hunger and provide us with feedback and bug reports! In this hotfix, we have focused on three main issues that had crept up:

  • Fixing the Nests spawning in unreachable areas, meaning that players were unable to complete the quest.
  • Fixed the Hammer Spelling Issues.
  • Fixed the repeating voice over which is triggered when Mirah uses the light attack on a shielded monster.
  • The player loses rewards after teleporting after the "Come Back Home" quest is fixed.
  • Fixed the cyst spawning during the "Kill the Guardian" quest.
