A different take on horde games
Most horde games give you weapons that fire on their own. Kick the Gloom makes you aim every hit, and the best hits are the ones that send one monster through three more.
That turns the horde from a threat into ammo. The more gloom on the dock, the bigger the chain you can set off with one good kick.
Tips for your first dock
Kick toward groups. A single kick into an empty space is wasted, but the same kick into a crowd can clear a lane.
Light the lamps as soon as you have room. They are the level goal, and the light gives you a clear view of what is coming.
A hands-on horde game
It suits players who like monster games with a physical, juicy main move. It is single-player and quick to start.
If you have tried horde games where you mostly watch your character fight, this one puts you back in control. Every kick is your choice, and a good one feels great.
The murky dock lights up as each lamp comes on, which makes progress easy to see.
