About Herder

“Herder” is a unique blend of action, tower defense, and simulation developed by Porchman Games and released in July 2021. In this game, players take on the role of a shepherd, defending their flock of sheep and goats from wild animals while migrating through beautiful, procedurally generated pastures. The objective is to keep the flock happy and healthy by breeding, milking, and shearing them, and selling livestock and products to passing trade caravans.

The gameplay combines resource management with action-packed defense strategies. Players must set up defensive items in new pastures, fend off predators, and ensure their flock has enough food and protection. The game also features a friendly herding dog companion, adding another layer of strategy and charm. Players can choose between action-packed gameplay or a more relaxing casual mode.

“Herder” has been well-received for its engaging mix of resource management and action. The game’s procedural alpine landscapes and atmospheric sounds enhance the immersive experience. The balance between strategic planning and real-time defense provides a unique and enjoyable challenge, making “Herder” a standout title for fans of simulation and tower defense games.
