Horde of Distraction is a game being made by Static Feed, and they asked me to check out their demo. The game is described as “An incremental game inspired by classic RPGs. Fight monsters, collect rare gear, progress through a vast skill tree, and defeat powerful bosses!” on their Steam page, and honestly, I really didn’t know what that meant. Turns out it means use your mouse to hover over stationary enemies, and either they die, or you do.
Now this sounds pretty boring, honestly. Trust me, I understand being skeptical; I certainly was. The demo starts out pretty slow, in typical RPG fashion, killing rats for a little bit of money and maybe earning some levels. You then use that money to buy some upgrades. I tell myself one more run.
After a little bit of rat killing and barrel breaking, some new enemies show up. They are a bit tougher; they do more damage. I tell myself one more run, again. I can’t go out this way. At this point, I have some basic gear, and I am hoping to get some more so I can merge it into better stuff. One more run turned into many more runs.
Before I realize it, I have killed the final boss of the demo, and I am asking myself questions about my life I didn’t know I had, most notably, how was this fun, or when can I get my hands on the full game? Most importantly, why is there a skull in my inventory that seems to have no use?
I obviously won’t be giving a score to a demo, but I encourage everyone to go check this thing out. It plays very well and is far more fun than I ever expected it to be. As an added bonus, the trailer has a bull playing guitar. Check it out below, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
