Hey everyone! So much has been achieved since the last Steam update. We have been working super hard on Spirit Hunters: Infinite horde and so much has been polished, tweaked and added to make this game ready for its VERY SOON release into early access!
Outside of content building and polish here are some cool stuff we have added recently.
Monsters
So many new monsters are now lurking in the horde to obliterate you! There are still plenty more to come. We are currently working on some really cool behaviors for these monsters so expect the unexpected when fighting the infinite monster hordes! Here are some of the new monsters!
Boss Battle
At the end of a battle you will be met by the big bad boss! When its time for the final show down you will be fighting inside an ever shrinking arena of spikes! You are going to want to kill the boss as fast as you can because if you leave it too long you will fall to the spikes! No pressure!
End Screen
Who doesnt love a good reward! Every single battle you take part in will reward you for your efforts. This means that even when you fall in battle you are still winning. You use the runes and crystals to upgrade everything and unlock new and more powerful abilities, characters etc. Every single fight is helping you become stronger and more capable of taking on the Infinite Hordes!
Characters
Lots of work is going into making the awesome Hero's in Spirit Hunters: Infinite Horde. Here are some of the characters you can expect at launch and very soon after launch in post release updates.
Thank you all so much for the ongoing support and interest in Spirit Hunters: Infinite Horde and we hope you are excited for the upcoming release (date reveal very soon)!

Development Update #2
Hey everyone!
Wow its been a crazy few weeks! We are working so incredibly hard to make this game great for you all. We are steaming toward that looming Early Access release date and we really want this game to SLAP the moment it launches and then just keep getting better from there.
Remember to wishlist Spirit Hunters: Infinite Horde!
We are excited for you all to play our game and hope you are excited to dive on into the chaotic world of Spirit Hunters: Infinite Horde and slay those hordes by the thousands!
Teaser Trailer
One of the biggest updates since the last update post is the Teaser Trailer! We now have a teaser trailer for Spirit Hunters: Infinite horde. Check it out! We hope it gives you a better taste of whats to come.
The trailer doesn't show everything we have to offer in the game but it does show you a lot. We hope you enjoy the teaser trailer!
Pets
A Pet system is currently in the works! Pets have many bonuses for the player. From passive stat buffs like making you faster or stronger. To active abilities like the pet collecting souls and currency for you!
Pets are obtained in several ways however the most common is from breaking cages found around the different worlds. Breaking open a cage will give you a choice of pet or pet upgrade. Grab whichever one you fancy and the little dude/dudette will follow you about the battle helping in whatever way it helps.
New pets can be unlocked via the divinity web. Once the pet has been unlocked it can then be found during battle.
Check out these 5 pets and their abilities.
Merchants
On the battle field you may be lucky enough to come across a travelling merchant. Merchants sell all manner of items. From health items to meta progression currency, to pets and more.
You can only make one purchase and once you do the merchant moves on. So pick wisely!
Boss battles
There are currently 2 types of bosses in Spirit Hunters: Infinite Horde. Sub bosses and Major bosses. Sub bosses are larger normal monsters. They pose a bit of a threat and can be a nightmare if you are being over run. Sub boss monsters drop lots of cool stuff when defeated so try you best to kill them if you see one.
Main bosses are the big old beefy boi's you have to defeat to complete some zones. These monsters are dangerous but drop HUGE rewards! Here are a couple of bosses already in the game.
Thank you all so much for the ongoing support and interest in Spirit Hunters: Infinite Horde. We will have more information real soon.

Development Update #1
Hey everyone!
Firstly thank you all so much for jumping in here and reading this update. I hope you are excited for the game and we will be using these updates to share development progress and other cool bits of info as the game progresses towards Early Access release and beyond!
Remember to wishlist Spirit Hunters: Infinite Horde!
Spirit Hunters: Infinite Horde is an action Rogue-lite, The combat of Spirit Hunters: Infinite Horde is inspired by Magical Survival and Vampire Survivors. As a studio we like to take a few days a month to jam out something fun and to test ideas. We were so impressed and inspired by these 2 games that we decided to jam a game inspired by these titles. In 5 days we had a working prototype and Soooo many ideas that we decided to turn it into a full game. Spirit Hunters: Infinite Horde was born!
Here is a HD desktop wallpaper for Spirit Hunters: Infinite Horde!
Combat that is easy to understand and accessible. A deep and rewarding meta progression system, a world to explore with different regions and battle rules, bosses to fight, chests and stuff to open and more! That is our vision. A super fun, action packed roguelike and we hope you will enjoy it when it gets here!
In this post we will give you a quick breakdown of some of the cool stuff you can do in Spirit Hunters: Infinite Horde.
The horde!
You start off each battle with a single ability. Monsters will start to pursue you in ever greater numbers. Some are easy to kill, others will take a ton of work to destroy. Killing monsters will reward you with blue souls (exp). Filling the bar at the bottom with blue souls will reward you with a choice of either a new ability to add to your arsenal or an upgrade to an ability you already have.
All abilities attack based on a timer. Each ability is unique and will help you obliterate the ever increasing horde! Kill lots of monsters and become a god! If you fall in battle its not a problem, you retain all your red souls and crystals to spend in the Divinity web so next time you return you will be even stronger!
Here is some EARLY footage of combat gameplay.
Characters
Before you set out you can pick your Spirit Hunter. You start with a few choices but can unlock many more as you progress in the game. Each Spirit Hunter has a starting set of stats, buffs and skills they can pick from. Every choice of starting ability has a "Synergy" buff for that specific character. You will have a HUGE amount of choice and its great for finding something that works for you! (Still lots of work being done in this system)
Maps
There are several maps planned for Early Access release with more planned as updates during development. You will unlock more maps as you progress (more on progression later) and you will unlock more locations to battle within these maps too. Each maps is a distinct area of the world of Spirit Hunters: Infinite Horde and each battle has a different horde to defeat! Each zone has a set of rules which change the gameplay and strategy so you have to consider your choices and find whats best to win this fight! (This system is also heavily in development, the actual map drawing is a placeholder image from Diablo, we will have unique maps of course)
Divinity Web
When you fall in battle you will be brought back by the Oracle to fight the hordes again! During battle you will earn red souls and mine for crystals. These can be used to purchase upgrades from the Oracles "Divinity Web". A vast and connected upgrade tree. The Divinity Web will allow you to unlock new abilities to fight with, new Spirit Hunters to play as, new zones and maps to battle in, new pets to find to assist you in battle and LOTS of upgrades for each ability to make you stronger! (This system is still in development)
There is much more to this game than I have covered in this post but I hope this is enough to get those horde slaying juices flowing! Spirit Hunters: Infinite Horde is releasing into Early Access on Steam in Spring 2022 and a release date will be revealed very soon along with a trailer!
