About game
Survival fans who crave fast-paced action will find their new obsession in Hordes 3D. You stand alone in a dark graveyard while waves of undead creatures swarm from every direction. Keeping your character moving is the only way to stay alive because your hero fires weapons automatically. Collecting XP crystals allows you to pick upgrades that turn a weak pistol into a screen-clearing powerhouse. Every five minutes brings a massive boss fight that tests your positioning skills and reflexes. Hordes 3D pushes you to evolve your gear into devastating forms like the Railgun or Supernova. Permanent perks in the Sanctuary ensure every run contributes to your long-term progress. Mastering the art of kiting the zombie mobs is essential to reaching that twenty-minute mark. Jump into the action right now for free in your browser with no download required.
How to play
Goal: survive 20 minutes till dawn (in Endless — as long as you can).
Controls:
• On phone: touch the screen and drag — a joystick appears right under your finger.
• On desktop: WASD or arrows to move, Esc or P to pause.
Shooting is automatic — the hero targets the nearest enemies himself. Your job is movement: don't get surrounded, kite the horde in circles and collect blue XP crystals.
Each level-up offers three upgrades: a new weapon, a weapon level or a passive item. A maxed weapon plus the right passive = EVOLUTION. Slots are limited — build wisely.
Heals, magnets, bombs and elite chests drop on the battlefield. A boss arrives every 5 minutes — watch for the red glow before his charge.
Spend souls in the Sanctuary on permanent upgrades — every run makes you stronger.
Tips: kite the horde in circles instead of running straight; slow tanky enemies with frost; save the bomb for when you get surrounded.
