Evaluation

HordeZ launched on April 29, 2016 as a VR on-rails shooter and received a steady stream of feature updates throughout 2016 — nine numbered updates in total — adding content like new game modes (Arcade Mode), improved multiplayer, new enemy types (a Halloween zombie clown), and various quality-of-life improvements. The last meaningful developer communications were a bug fix patch on January 10, 2018 (v1.10) and a January 11, 2018 arcade licensing announcement. Since that point, there have been no further developer posts, patches, announcements, or roadmap communications of any kind. The store description describes the game's content as a fixed set (8 levels, 5 weapons, 6 monster types), with no mention of upcoming additions. No DLC has been listed, released, or announced. The developer did not publish a roadmap or hint at future content after January 2018. The pattern of updates was concentrated entirely in the first ~20 months following launch and has been fully quiet since January 2018. The game launched as a complete, finite product and the post-launch update cycle clearly concluded over eight years ago.

About this game

Available for Arcades on SpringboardVR

HordeZ is an arcade VR rail shooter about zombies and demons for players who miss classic shooting gallery games in the style of Doom, Left 4 Dead and House of the Dead.

You are thrown into a dark world where waves of zombies and other demonic enemies keep coming at you, and your job is simple: stay alive, clear each level and create as much digital carnage as possible.

You play as a member of an elite squad equipped with everything you need for VR mayhem: a katana, pistols, machine guns, grenades and more. Every shot and every headshot depends on your own hands and reflexes — HordeZ plays like a true VR shooting range where aiming and speed are all that matters. It is not a complex survival simulator, but a straightforward, fast‑paced arcade experience that delivers the kind of bloody action fans of classic zombie shooters know and enjoy.

If you want more adrenaline, you raise the difficulty and step into hardcore. If you want to share the chaos, you invite a friend to co‑op and fight off the hordes together. All your results are recorded on global leaderboards, so every run is a chance to climb higher and prove you really know how to shoot in VR.store.steampowered
