What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players consistently criticize Dead Horde for its repetitive and boring gameplay loop that boils down to shooting zombies and running away, with limited weapon upgrades offering little variation or progression. Common complaints include poor visibility and dark level design making it hard to distinguish enemies, technical issues like awkward default display settings, and frustrating level design that makes the experience feel more like a chore than entertainment. While some appreciate the cooperative mode as a potential fun distraction with friends, most players find the game feels unpolished
Extremely repetitive and boring.2 found this helpful
Genuinely awful game, I received it as part of a cheap zombie themed bundle years ago and finally decided to play it.... Gameplay loop is boring and repetitive, shoot zombies, run away, shoot again, run away.... Buy/upgrade weapons and then repeat. I only played 4.4 hours as I was determined to actually finish it once... but some of the levels were so frustrating! If I ever play it again it might be in local co-op of a challenge to try with a friend just for achievements.
Dead Horde, developed and published by DnS Development, is a cooperative top-down shooter set in a grim, mutant-infested world where humanity has fallen to yet another viral catastrophe. The premise is simple and familiar: a mysterious infection has turned most of the population into grotesque creatures, and you, one of the few survivors, must fight through endless waves of them to reach safety. The game offers both single-player and cooperative modes, allowing players to tackle its campaign alone or alongside a friend. At its core, Dead Horde is an homage to the classic twin-stick arcade shooters—fast, chaotic, and unforgiving—but it often struggles to rise above the limitations of its straightforward design and technical shortcomings. The gameplay loop centers on surviving successive encounters with hordes of mutants while scavenging for money and ammunition. Money acts as the game’s progression currency, allowing players to purchase new weapons and upgrades at scattered shop points. This system is one of the game’s few engaging features, offering a small sense of tactical decision-making as players must choose between saving for powerful weapons or investing in incremental upgr…
i played about a half hour of this, got 3 achievements, and moved it to my quit list. it defaulted to 1024x768 windowed mode which didn't make any sense to me but i just went with it. i use dvorak keyboard layout and had to remap the controls (because WASD on my keyboard types <AOE) but that's not unusual. didn't try using a controller. the game started with some text to read about why there are zombies, and then there i was alone with my weapon. eventually i started to encounter small swarms of zombies that move about the same speed that i do. everything's dark and it's hard to tell when a zombie is still coming after you vs finishing up its death animation, or even notice zombies that haven't seen you yet, but that might work better if you full-screen the game (assuming that's an option -- i didn't try). 15 to 20 minutes in i reached a point where the path was blocked by a structure fallen across it. i couldn't find a way to move it but eventually found that i could actually climb over it. not long later i died for my first time and decided to stop playing because nothing had caught my interest yet.
Feels like a student project.
I cant believe i was able to play this for a full hour. DO NOT RECOMMEND
