“Dragon Horde: Revenge of the Wizard King” is a game created for Ludum Dare 42 with the theme “running out of space”. DH:ROTWK is a 2-player competitive arcade game where a thicc Dragon and a gloopy Wizard King face off in a battle of ultimate strategy.

Contrary to popular belief, “Revenge of the Wizard King” is not a sequel, but a reboot of the Dragon Horde franchise. Open-World Battle-Royale elements have been scrapped in order to accommodate the superior high-intensity spirit of Jezzball.

No one quite knows why the Magical Monarch wants revenge against the Dragon. Some say the Dragon re-did the interior design of the King’s castle without his knowledge, thus replacing the floor with crumbling hexagonal pillars and the walls with bottomless pits. Others speculate that the Dragon is jealous of the way the King has mastered flight with his hot-air balloon, whilst the winged dragon is too large to fly. Whatever the reason, you can be sure that the deeply detailed lore of the Dragon Horde cinematic universe has a reasonable explanation for the King’s incredible magical ability to literally plop bombs.

Hahaa, yup, being able to blow the king away is a bug. :) Be careful, young dragons!

Sadly I had to play it in single player, so I had to jump from one control to the other to try it out. I like the idea that each player has a completely different play style so I can imagine it's fun to keep on switching sides.

The graphics are great, especially the 2D!

I'd be on the lookout for you guys on the next jams, great job!

I really like the graphics and artworks. (Unfortunately, the game was not fluid on my computer *sob*)
I had also to try it alone, but I really like the idea for the Gameplay !

I could only play solo and even if the fun resides in multiplayer, I'm pleased by the efforts you put in the aesthetics of the game. The models are great, the small animation before the fight is nicely done. My main complaints would be on the key mapping, I guess we don't all have the same keyboard layouts and it was quite hard to access the action buttons, even in solo mode.

I played it with a second player, but we could'n figure out how the dragon can spit fire, because we used a keyboard with german layout. Overall the graphics look nice and I think the game is finished so far which is nice. Some sounds would be greate to have a audio feedback, but I understand that it is hard to make audio assets as well in this short time.

pretty cool game! i love the graphics of the game (although my computer at home had a little struggle with it! lol!). the gameplay is simple but fun. too bad i was only able to play single player. it's a shame that not a lot of people have rated this, probably due to the big download size. great game!

Cool! Cute graphics, plays pretty well. Love your "lore" as well. Could have used some audio, but everything else was pretty solid.
