Top-Down Zombie Extraction Shooter / Tower Defense game ‘Respect The Horde’ Announced by Solo Developer GFX47

 

Solo developer GFX47, creator of Gladiabots and No Plan B, has announced Respect the Horde, a top-down zombie extraction shooter / tower defense game coming to Steam.

In Respect the Horde, you’re heavily outnumbered but Instead of trying to kill hundreds of zombies head-on, you manipulate the horde: redirect them with obstacles, create bottlenecks, and lure them into deadly traps. However, the longer you stay, the greater the danger. You must know when to walk away before overconfidence and greed turn a carefully prepared strategy into uncontrollable chaos.

Key Features:

  • Manipulate the Horde: Redirect hundreds of zombies using barriers, traps and environmental hazards.
  • Explore, Loot, Prepare: Search each area for weapons, ammunition and resources, then use what you find to prepare your defenses.
  • Risk vs Reward: Stay longer to grow stronger and earn greater rewards, or extract before the horde overwhelms you.
  • Permanent Progression: Unlock new skills and equipment, and recruit new survivors to tackle increasingly dangerous missions.
  • Reclaim the Island: Choose where to deploy next and gradually reclaim the island region by region.
