Keep of Lost Souls: The Shieldbearer

Welcome to the Keep of Lost Souls, a series where we do an in-depth dive into one of the gruesome creatures from Hordes of Hunger.


Defence and attack go hand-in-hand with this next creature: The Shieldbearer.

The Shieldbearers are the hollowed out husks of former city guards who have been afflicted by the curse.With one withered arm, they wield large shields that cover nearly their entire body, making their defence virtually impenetrable. Take a look at these gruesome creatures below:

The key to overcoming these beasts is through heavy attacks and parries, which can break their stance and provide an opening to strike. Alternatively, you can utilise your speed to get behind them and attack the weak spot on their back - which is left unguarded.

Sharpen your skills against The Shieldbearer in our updated demo now:

Dark Souls infused roguelike ARPG Hordes of Hunger finally gets release date

As a big fan of ARPGs, third-person action games like Dark Souls, and the frantic horde survival of Vampire Survivors, I've had a close eye on new Steam roguelike Hordes of Hunger since I saw it at Gamescom 2024. By giving you more direct control over your character, it more closely resembles a run-based Diablo than the auto-attacking nature of games like Vampire Survivors, with all those delicious upgrade choices that we've come to expect in everything from Hades to Dead Cells. Now, PCGamesN can exclusively reveal when you'll be able to play the full game - and you can try its new demo right now.

Keep of Lost Souls: Brute

[h2]Welcome to the Keep of Lost Souls, a series where we do an in-depth dive into one of the gruesome creatures from Hordes of Hunger. [/h2]


The Brute is a cursed fusion of human and animal, driven by feral instincts.


Brutes are relentless creatures, notorious for their brutal charges. However, this charge is also their weakness, as they need time to recover afterwards.


Take a look at the Brute below:

Dodging is your friend when facing the Brutes, swiftly moving away from their heavy attacks. Stay aware of their recovery time, as this is when they are most vulnerable to attacks. Strike hard and be precise.

Keep of Lost Souls: Howler

[h2]Welcome to the Keep of Lost Souls, a series where we do an in-depth dive into one of the gruesome creatures from Hordes of Hunger. [/h2]

The Howlers are grotesque looking dogs that have fed upon cursed meat.

Out of all the monsters you will encounter in Hordes of Hunger, Howlers are the fastest. Despite their speed, they are relatively easy to defeat as long as you deal with them quickly.

Take a look at the Howler below:

Swift reactions are essential when it comes to dealing with the Howlers. Their speed is their primary threat, so you must stay vigilant in order to survive.
