About Ravenous Horde
Ravenous Horde is a post-apocalyptic first-person shooter from Vector Interactive that flips the zombie genre on its head. Released on November 6, 2025, it’s set in a world overrun by the undead, where you start each round as a hunter tasked with surviving hordes. But the twist? If you die, you become a zombie yourself, turning on your former allies. Available on PC, it blends single-player campaigns, multiplayer deathmatches, and co-op modes. The core loop is simple: kill zombies, avoid death, and unlock weapons and perks. It’s a fast-paced, chaotic experience where alliances shift constantly. Fans of survival shooters with a PvP edge will recognize the formula, but the side-switching mechanic adds a fresh layer of tension.
Gameplay
Each round in Ravenous Horde is a high-stakes battle royale. As a hunter, you scavenge for resources, weapons, and armor while fending off waves of zombies. The game rewards aggressive play, sniper rifles and shotguns dominate close quarters, while perks like speed boosts or damage multipliers let you customize your build. If you fall, you respawn as a zombie, now equipped with claws and the ability to infect others. The shift is seamless, and the AI adapts to keep you guessing. Multiplayer modes pit 10 hunters against 10 zombies in frantic free-for-alls, while co-op lets you team up to survive escalating hordes. Controls are tight but favor twitch reflexes over strategy, making it ideal for short, intense sessions. The progression system is simple: earn XP to unlock new gear, but balance is tight, overpowered weapons appear late-game, and the meta shifts rapidly between rounds.
What Players Think
PlayPile’s community data shows Ravenous Horde has a 4.2/5 average rating, with 68% of players completing the base campaign. Critics praise its addictive loop but note repetitive late-game content. The average playtime is 23 hours, with 42% of players logging under 10 hours. Community moods are split: 35% label it “fun but flawed,” 28% call it “addictive chaos,” and 18% dislike its lack of depth. On forums, one player writes, “Switching sides adds a wild unpredictability I crave,” while another grumbles, “The same 3 guns feel overused after 10 hours.” The achievement system has 47 badges (62% completion rate on average), with 30% of players hitting 100% in co-op modes.
PlayPile's Take
Ravenous Horde is a blast if you want quick, chaotic PvP with a zombie twist. It’s best for groups or players who enjoy short, aggressive sessions over deep storytelling. At $39.99, it’s reasonably priced for the content, but the lack of long-term progression may frustrate. While not a genre-definer, it excels at what it does, especially co-op modes, which feel more balanced and rewarding. Skip it if you prefer methodical survival or rich narratives. For fans of fast-paced shooters, though, it’s a solid pick with a unique hook.
