Horde Arena

Day-One Hotfix Notice Hello everyone. I have released Day-One Hotfix v0.80.24 to quickly address several issues identified shortly after launch. This update focuses on improving game stability and fixing UI and audio bugs. It also adjusts the pacing and late-game difficulty of Endless Mode. Bug Fixes and Improvements Mitigated game crashes that could occur in certain situations. Fixed an issue where the existing UI would remain visible when opening Steam Overlay while viewing the stats UI. Fixed an issue where audio settings were not applied correctly. Balance Adjustments Increased the rate at which trait purchase costs rise in the later stages. Adjusted Endless Mode so that enemy difficulty increases more rapidly over time. Adjusted Endless Mode so that enemies spawn slightly faster than before. Thank you to everyone who has played since launch and reported issues. I will continue improving the game to provide a better gameplay experience. Thank you.

Hello everyone. The v0.73.00 update for Horde Arena is now live. This update introduces Player Unique Trait upgrades, changes Tugger's attack behavior and balance, improves Roulette controls, and includes several bug fixes. New Feature Added the Player Unique Trait upgrade system. Developer Comment This feature has been introduced ahead of release for testing. Currently, Card Break is the only available Trait, and the currency required to purchase Traits can be earned through gameplay. More Unique Traits and related content are planned for future updates after the Early Access launch. Gameplay Changes The screen is no longer locked while using Roulette. The camera can now be moved during Roulette. Tugger no longer pulls players toward itself. It will now approach a player and self-destruct at close range. Developer Comment The previous pulling mechanic was an interesting idea, but it did not work reliably as intended, so I decided to remove it from Tugger. An enemy better suited to a grab-related mechanic may be added in the future. Balance Changes Tugger's explosion radius has been increased. 350 → 450 The time before Tugger explodes has been reduced. 3 seconds → 2 secon
