HORDE
DEFENSE
Hold the siege gate. A cube horde pours from the far portal in ring ranks. Sword, shield, spin, slam, dodge — a Spheres of Influence combat demo in the browser.
Dev note
A combat prototype, not the full game
Horde Defense is a prototype of the Spheres of Influence combat system. Sword, shield, spin, slam, dodge — the melee kit, dropped onto a siege field so we can tell whether the fight feels right.
This is not Spheres of Influence. No planet, no voxels, no multiplayer. Just the horde, the gate, and whether swinging a sword at a mass of cubes is fun.
