Skull Horde News

Blending Vampire Survivors and Diablo, Skull Horde has a brand new demo

Practically a modern classic, Vampire Survivors has inspired countless imitators. But the upcoming Skull Horde actually looks like a novel take on its roguelike inspiration. While in Vampire Survivors you gain new abilities to upgrade your avatar, in Skull Horde you'll build a massive army of fellow skeletons and lead them to victory through a dank dungeon. The game has an earnest and goofy tone, like a Tales from the Crypt episode that hits just right. You can give the game a try right now.

Skull Horde is a necromantic auto-battler from the makers of Bore Blasters

I'd rather command a small troop of ruthless husks to fight my battles than do the dirty work myself - and in the game [Weyyyyyy! -RPS staff]. That's reason number one as to why I'm interested in Skull Horde, an "auto battler dungeon crawler" which casts you as a necromancer in a tiny pixel art world.

Reason number two is that it's coming from the developers of the explosively moreish Bore Blasters. Find a teaser trailer below.
