    Multiplayer does not work as intended. If you play together with someone, you get separate spawns, its like playing on two different games at the same time. Its not actually playing together, its just playing single player with your friend running around shooting zombies you cant see. lmao. Not recommended if you wanna buy it for multiplayer.

    TL:DR - Avoid this one. It looks interesting but it's painfully clunky to play and just not much fun. Steam page claims: “HordeCore is a kick-ass side-scrolling shooter set in a post-apocalyptic world. Play alone, or as a team - and destroy, survive, craft, and explore!” No, it's not. It's not a side scrolling game. Most of the maps are left to right but they have depth and you can move in any direction. Your limitation is that you only shoot left/right. It's a side SHOOTER but the…

    Bought for the multiplayer experience, DONT buy this for the multiplayer you will get terribly dissapointed, took us 2hrs and 40 min to complete the game. Sadly I have 4 hours playtime so I cant refund. If I wouldve bought for single player I guess its more worth

    Fun Game with a lot of replayability. I will say though this feels like an early access game with a ton of bugs requiring game restarts. It is also exceptionally easy to get a full legendary set from crafting, I am only 3 hours in and my item power is over 300. Also, beware there is no group or voice chat, so the game is best played with friends. Overall though for the price it's a fun game and hopefully the devs are quick to repair the current bugs.

    What can I say about HordeCore - just a fun COOP game to play with friends. It definitely worth this 7.2 EUR I paid for it. This is not a game you would play for ages but quite ok for a fun evening when you need to have a rest and eliminate an enormous amout of zombies on hard level. Graphics is OK for an indie title. Gameplay - left-to-right and close/far movements, quite unique, not always good and sometimes the level obstacles close the view for you but in general - OK, nothing special and…

    *An addendum - I ocasionally check this game on steam charts, there are very few to none players online. So if you buy this to play online with other people, most likely won't happen. If you have friends you can play with them splitscreen locally or via Steam Remote Play. Just wanted to note that there are hours where there is just 1 player playing this game" Pretty fun game. A simple sidescrolling 3D game, which will hook you for a day or a weekend. There is a review made by Macdallan, where…

    Got hooked by cool music and really nice VFX and did not regret it+ lots of different classes and cool gear + Pyro!!!! + really good writing, I genuinely laughed on a few jokes, the overall vibe is very Borderlandy + card game is actually super fun to play + fine riffs in the soundracks- some perks are fairly useless - balance is uneven, some levels are too easy to beat and some are just uggggh

    Tried it first time during the demo fest and was waiting for it to try with my friends. We have had so much fun playing in COOP together. The game is easy even in a hard mode but really fun to get your pal up again multiple time.

    Macdallan offers a very comprehensive review here but I'll reiterate a few things. The game scrolls to the side but allows for a depth of movement into the foreground and background. Here's the problem: You can only shoot straight to the left or straight to the right. If enemies approach you anywhere from "above" or "below" your left/right plane, you can not shoot them. It's just a really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ design flaw. Nothing says "I don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about your gameplay experience" quite like a game…

    HordeCore pretty funny scrolling shooter in a post-apocalyptic world that you can play with friends. You can improve your shelter, explore different places and extract rare materials from which to make weapons. Nice graphics and easy to pick up gameplay. The game also has a separate fully-fledged collectible card game.

    The action in HordeCore can be mindlessly entertaining, but the game is riddled with baffling design decisions. While you automatically pick up crafting supplies by walking over them, you have to press the "A" button to pick up weapons, armor, and consumable items. "A" also happens to be the button for your first character's special ability, which can lead to you accidentally using that special when you are trying to pick up items in a hurry. Why does the collectible card game exist? It's not…

    controles are a little weird, given you can move left, right, forward, and back. but can only really shoot left or right. your attacks are entierly dependant on where you are currently standing. not aiming. but the enemies can be slightly off center and perfectly safe until your surrounded. you CAN get used to this, but even then the stages are kind of bare. not much to them. honestly i had more fun with the little card game mini game. that being said its not nessisarily bad either. if on sale,…

Video review: https://youtu.be/pz8HO74ayBs The titanic fight between the living and the undead has been written many times and with different interpretations. Hordecore tells the story of this fight for survival, between two distinct groups of survivors against zombies and even against each other. It presents itself as a sidescroller shooter with depth, which means it is possible to move away from the screen and…

    Do Not Waste Your Money Unfortunately, this game was a huge disappointment for me. I hate to say it, but don't waste your money on it — it's probably the worst game I've ever bought on Steam. I regretted buying it almost immediately after playing it. The trailer made it look okay, maybe a bit clunky, but trust me, the actual game looks and plays far worse. Just check my playtime — I'll never play this game again. I even hid it from my library just to feel a little better about the purchase.…

    It's a cool game if you are patient but I wouldn't recommend it. Every aspect of gameplay is, at some point, buggy (either in solo mode or online multiplayer) and can make the game freeze or crash. Especially if you, or any other player, is using a controller.

    Trying to play local coop ran into these bugs repeatedly - Unable to move characters after a loading screen / transition - Unable to interact with stuff when it says press/hold A - P2 joining takes over P1, and moves P1 to P2. - Opening Pack of Cards freeze the game They should consider remaking the aiming system for gamepads. You aim with right analog stick but you have to let go of the stick to use skills (A,B,X,Y) and some of those require aiming. This leads to wasting skills by shooting…

    Game is rather enjoyable! I really liked the class diversity and ability upgrades, as well as the different classes having their own unique personalities. The card game within the game is super addicting, imo, and I hope it receives a spin off! The overall aesthetic for the game is very fitting, and really brings the whole apocalypse to life. Haven't ran into any issues while playing so far, game runs pretty solid.

    HordeCore is a great example of a game I wish I could give a neutral review to. The price is acceptable for what's there - a side scrolling, slow-upgrade loot grab zombie game where you follow a branching path story using multiple teams. The juxtaposition of 3d elements with the essentially 2d gameplay is a bit annoying, as others have noted - enemies will approach you on a slanting path, necessitating dancing around the screen to get hits in. The story is thin and not terribly well-written,…

    The game is just top. Animation, art, gameplay, zombies!!!!! There are even races. But I ran into one problem. Namely, complexity. Chose 2 difficulty levels. And everything was more or less easy, but in one excellent map, they began to endure almost at the start. Please, add the ability to change the difficulty of the game xD And so, the game is still good in terms of entertainment!

Yes, the game has a few problems, but I'll start with the positives, and then describe the workarounds for technical issues. The most important thing is that the game feels fun and fresh, moreover, it is a "complete" game. The game has all the possible components: 1. Non-linear plot with several endings.

Because you are not playing with friends, you only walk in the same level, they can't see the same as you. Recommended Y & N? As i said up there but for single player it's a 100% yes. Worth full price ? Yes, why not ? Sad that steam does not have Neutral reviews. It's a 50-50 for me. I wanted to play coop.
