Hordes of Hunger Slashes Onto PC in May With Thrilling Trailer Reveal
Get ready for a brutal fight. The 3D action survivorslike game ‘Hordes of Hunger’ is coming to PC on May 6, 2025, starting with Early Access on Steam. Developed by Hyperstrange and published by Kwalee, this roguelite arena-slasher throws you into relentless battles against waves of monstrous enemies. A new trailer dropped recently, showcasing the game’s intense combat and grim world, and I’m already hooked.
You play as Mirah, a fierce warrior defending her homeland from a ravenous evil known as the Beast. The story follows her struggle to protect her people from creatures that emerged from the sea, leaving destruction in their wake. Each run lets you craft unique builds, mixing weapons like swords or heavy hammers with special abilities. You’ll hack through enemies, unlock new skills, and uncover the dark truth behind the curse plaguing Mirah’s world.
The game blends fast-paced third-person combat with survivorslike progression. Expect tight mechanics, like an updated parry system shown in the latest Steam demo. This demo also includes expanded skill trees and weapon upgrades, giving a taste of the depth you’ll find in the full release later in 2025. I tried it, and the flow of chaining attacks while dodging hordes feels incredibly satisfying.
Beyond combat, ‘Hordes of Hunger’ weaves an evolving narrative. Mirah isn’t just fighting for herself—she’s saving others, completing quests to rescue survivors and reveal their stories. These missions add layers to the world, hinting at mysteries like a guilt-ridden father or a bloodied mother. The environments, from crumbling villages to castle keeps, let you use choke points and breakable structures to outsmart enemies.
The trailer also teases destructive abilities—think fiery sword strikes or lightning-charged attacks—that make Mirah a force of nature. You can level up to unlock defensive skills or even cheat death with divine powers. It’s the kind of game where every run feels different, whether you’re swinging a nimble blade or smashing foes with a hammer.
Hyperstrange, the Polish indie studio behind the game, is known for titles like ‘Blood West’ and ‘POSTAL: Brain Damaged’. Their knack for blending genres shines here, with high production values that elevate the survivorslike formula. Kwalee, a UK publisher with a growing catalog, is backing the project, ensuring it reaches a wide audience.
If you’re itching to jump in, the updated Steam demo is live now. It’s a great way to test Mirah’s moves and experiment with builds before the Early Access launch. With its mix of brutal combat, deep progression, and a gripping story, ‘Hordes of Hunger’ is shaping up to be a standout in the survivorslike genre. I’ll be counting down to May 6—how about you?
