Item Description
Not many strategy games open with Kirk Cameron saving a king from choking on his dinner. In The Horde, Cameron plays Chauncey, a humble serving boy whose quick thinking at the royal table earns him a knighthood, an enchanted sword called Grimthwacker, and a stretch of land to look after. The catch is that the land is overrun by the Hordlings, ravenous red creatures that devour crops, cattle and villagers alike, while the scheming Kronus Maelor, played by Michael Gregory, would be delighted to see the new knight fail.
Every stage splits into two very different halves. In the building phase you spend your gold shaping the land: digging moats, planting trees, raising walls and setting traps to funnel the Horde where you want it. Then the Hordlings arrive and the game turns into real-time hack-and-slash, with Chauncey sprinting around the map swinging his sword to protect everything you just built. When the season ends, taxes come due, and whatever survived decides how much you have to work with next time.
The game comes from Toys for Bob, the studio behind Star Control, and was published by Crystal Dynamics, and that pedigree shows in the oddball humor and the way the strategy and action halves feed each other. The live-action story scenes are played with knowing, pantomime broadness and are part of the charm, and Burke Trieschmann's score won Computer Gaming World's Premiere Award for Best Musical Score in 1994.
The Horde began on the 3DO, and this Saturn port brings its inventive blend of base defense and swordplay to Sega's console, years before tower defense became a genre with a name. Few games capture the experimental spirit of the mid-90s CD-ROM boom so completely, celebrity cast and all.

About the game
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.
