Slay the Horde

Slay the Horde combines real-time horde survival with deckbuilding. You cast spells from your deck while fighting increasingly overwhelming waves of enemies, building combinations that grow more powerful as each run progresses.

Build your deck

You find new spells and shape your deck around your preferred approach. You can fill the battlefield with fire, freeze enemies before shattering them, unleash chains of lightning, command undead minions or combine elements. Card costs, draw speed, mana, elemental effects and the order in which spells become available all affect your build.

Stack perks and upgrades

Perks and upgrades let you expand a build with more damage, critical hits, elemental effects, summons, mana generation and interactions that feed into one another. A spell that barely kills a goblin early in a run can become the trigger for a chain reaction that clears half the screen.

Survive the horde

You position yourself, manage your mana and play the right cards at the right moment to keep slaying enemies fast enough to stay ahead of the growing waves. Your build is tested in real time as the horde becomes increasingly overwhelming.
