About The Dark Horde
The Dark Horde is a strategy game where you spend Time Units (TUs) to play cards and take actions. Each round starts with 180 TUs. Once you have spent them, you wait for your next turn; cards and abilities can only be played while time is paused.
Build your army
Summon minions and cast spells from your dark spellbook, combining cards to create synergies and powerful combos. Command demons or invoke Death as you build an army to overwhelm your enemies.
Your objective is to plunder the enemy Village or survive for 3 days against waves of angry Villagers. You can seize gold, harvest souls and destroy the enemy settlement. Victories earn loot to enhance your deck, including card and ability upgrades and new skills. Permanent progression unlocks stronger starting options as you level up, and you can upgrade a card after each victorious run.
Decks and challenges
The game includes 20 starter decks with different strategies and over 200 unique cards, with hundreds of possible synergies. Each run brings fresh challenges and strategies, with increasingly difficult encounters as you progress. Endless Mode offers limitless challenges.
Sound and goblins
The soundtrack is by Alexander Nakarada. You can also send goblin looters into battle; they make funny noises when they die.
