You play as Moriana, a necromancer who turns defeated enemies into undead minions. Rather than fighting alone, you move through each battlefield with your growing horde, using spells to support its attacks.
Runs revolve around gathering souls, expanding your army, and choosing upgrades as you face increasingly dangerous enemies and a final boss. The horde itself is your main force, so where you move affects how it engages the battlefield.
Between runs, spend resources on permanent improvements at the Dominion and unlock further skills and forms of necromancy. Explore distinct realms with their own enemies, bosses, and hazards, some of which can be used against your foes.
Players who enjoy the game often point to its distinctive necromancy twist: defeated enemies become a growing army, making the spectacle of building a huge horde a central pleasure. Some also appreciate the art, humor, and between-run progression. Reviews are mixed on how long that appeal lasts, with recurring criticism of limited variety, slow progression, and frustrations with horde behavior or balance.

Be My Horde is a survivor roguelite with a twist. Here, you don’t fight… your undead army fights for you! As Moriana the necromancess, who above all desires to dominate the world, raises every fallen enemy to become your faithful zombie servants. There’s no limit — flood the screen with hundreds of minions and leave no living thing behind. You are the evil one here!
In Be My Horde, your enemies aren’t obstacles — they’re your resource!
Harvest souls to unlock devastating powers. Gain perks during runs to boost your abilities, or upgrade your Dominion — your base of operations — for permanent enhancements by raising evil structures. Discover deeper secrets of necromancy and even unlock new, terrifying ways to raise your horde. There’s more than one way to drown the world in blood.
Travel across diverse realms, each with unique visuals, enemies, mechanics, and bosses. Shatter the latter's strength by absorbing their servants, and then face them directly in brutal final battles.
The hand-drawn 2D art blends gore and charm in equal measure — admire levels with various random weather conditions and plenty of details. Interact with the environment by pushing enemies into meteors, triggering volcanic eruptions, or corrupting trees. No corner of the world is safe from you.
Watch how Moriana breaks the fourth wall and interacts with you between crusades. She’s magnetic, cruel, and completely unhinged — and she has more power over you than you think.
Enjoy fully voiced dialogue scenes with a talented cast, including Amber Lee Connors as Moriana, Ryan Cooper as Richard III Ovine, and Jacob Browning as the Devil himself.
The soundtrack by Davi Vasc fuses metal, jazz, and classical into a high-octane mix that fuels your wicked conquest.
