Half-Life: Alyx is great and all, but it’s missing something. Lucky for us, a modder by the name of Manello has created a XenThug, a mode that adds that special something in the form of a Horde Mode.
The idea is pretty self-explanatory: Waves of enemies approach you, and you shoot them. Every downed enemy drops a bit of currency, which you can spend between rounds on ammo, health, and the like. Once the waves of enemies have been exhausted, the cycle begins again with the first wave. Only this time, the enemies have double the HP.
According to Manello, if the mod proves popular, they’ll add new maps to the mod. You can download XenThug from its Steam Community page.
