8-Bit Hordes is a real-time strategy video game developed by Petroglyph Games, which was released on August 12, 2016 for Microsoft Windows. It features a singleplayer campaign and a multiplayer mode in which players battle each other or the AI in the cooperative game mode. The game takes a very simplistic approach in its gameplay and graphical elements. The graphic features a blocky 8-bit retro-art voxel style with partially destructible terrain. Gameplay is very similar to the classic Warcraft franchise. The player starts with a castle building which he uses to expand his base so he can build various military units to fight his opponents. Resources are gathered via lorries which gather gold from nearby mines to the main castle. Units and buildings are built via a clickable menu on the right side of the screen, similar to the Command and Conquer franchise. The players have to build farms to provide upkeep for their forces. The game is situated in a generic fantasy scenario featuring orcs, dwarfs, mages or dragon units. Featured in the game are 2 factions, the “good” Lightbringers and the “bad” Deathsworn.
