The Horde is a hybrid action-strategy video game that was originally released for 3DO and was ported to the Sega Saturn and DOS. It also featured full-motion video sequences featuring a number of actors including Kirk Cameron as Chauncey and Michael Gregory as Kronus Maelor. Video sequences were reduced to slide shows (with full sound) in some versions. The game was bundled with the RealMagic MPEG playback card as a demonstration of the card's abilities to play back full-motion MPEG video via the card's hardware decoder, at the time software MPEG decoding was not viable due to the lack of processing power in contemporary processors. The music was composed by Burke Trieschmann and won Computer Gaming World's Premiere Award for Best Musical Score in 1994.

What is The Horde about?

You are Chauncey, a serving lad who saves his monarch from choking on his meal. The King rewards you with his magical sword, Grimthwacker, and a village, and the mission to go forth and prosper by felling waves of Hordlings, who are bent on eating everything in the province. The better you get at defending villagers, crops, and cows from Hordlings, the better equipped you become. Success wins you further favor from the King, along with bigger challenges and more enmity from the evil High Chancellor. There are several types of Hordlings, each with their peculiar style of picking through the edibles under your care. Success is measured by how many villagers and crops survive each season's gluttonous attacks.

Should I stream The Horde on Twitch?

0/100 · Closed off· 5 viewers per streamer on paper

Probably not. The only English stream here holds all 5 English viewers — once you take it out there is nothing left to reach.

The only English stream here holds all 5 English viewers. There is nothing left over for a second.

Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.

This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.

Where to buy

All plain links straight to the official stores. Some will become affiliate links later, and they’ll be marked with a ♥ when they are — you’ll always be able to tell, and the unmarked ones will always be there.

Is The Horde too saturated on Twitch?

Not crowded, but not open either. Only 1 person is streaming The Horde, and the one English stream holds all 5 English viewers — so the room is quiet because that audience is already committed, not because it is waiting for you.
