The folklore and mythology of the British Isles are filled with gruesome and imaginative creatures. Soon, you'll be able to appease their appetites in Hungry Horrors, the upcoming iOS and Android game, where the goal is to feed them before they feed on you.
Your task in Hungry Horrors is straightforward: keep your monstrous foes well-fed to avoid becoming their next meal. This involves mastering a wide range of dishes and learning the specific tastes—and dislikes—of each enemy, all drawn from famous figures in British and Irish folklore.
Whether you're a fan of British legends or have opinions about classic UK cuisine, you'll find plenty of authentic details here. From monsters like the knucker to unusual traditional dishes such as Stargazey Pie (yes, the one with fish heads peeking out), the game is rich with cultural flavor.
Horrific HungerRecently, Dann noted the growing trend of ports to mobile, highlighting how developers and publishers are taking the platform more seriously for indie games. Hungry Horrors seems to fit that pattern, though the vague "at some point" timeline for its mobile release remains a slight disappointment.
With its roster of familiar monsters (at least to UK audiences) and the inclusion of intriguing classic British recipes, Hungry Horrors has the potential to become a hit among mobile roguelite fans. Here's hoping its mobile debut arrives sooner rather than later.
