8-Bit Hordes is a fantasy real-time strategy game in which you command either the Dark Orcs and their undead allies or the Lightbringers: humans, dwarves, and elves.
Gather resources, construct and defend a base, then build an army to attack opposing forces. Battles take place on destructible maps across settings such as cemeteries and haunted forests.
Play 24 offline campaign missions, 12 co-op missions, AI skirmishes, or player-versus-player matches on maps supporting up to eight players. Campaign objectives can unlock new starting units and buildings.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its accessible, familiar RTS controls and brisk base-building and army combat. Reviews also appreciate the campaign’s range of missions and optional objectives, with some enjoying replaying levels to earn stars or unlock more starting options. Co-op and skirmish modes are valued by some players, while others criticize the limited story presentation, familiar formula, or uneven mission challenge.
