About the game

100 Bodies in the Grass is a wave-based co-op defense game, set against the backdrop of the Third Mongol Invasion of Vietnam, combining elements of roguelikes and tower/hero defenses with the combat of an isometric ARPG.

Original Steam description

"Even if a hundred bodies of mine lie rotting in the wild grass, and a thousand of my corpses are wrapped in horsehide, I would still gladly do it."

Trần Hưng Đạo, to his officers in 1284, vowing he would rather fight and die than submit to the Mongols

Đại Việt, 1287

Nearly 200,000 soldiers of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and their submitted allies have marched across the border into Đại Việt, laying waste to the north and hoping to add the stubborn kingdom to their vast conquests. Your orders are simple: make them pay one hundred-fold in blood for every inch of native soil they cross until Trần Hưng Đạo can rally the country. 

100 Bodies in the Grass is a wave-based 4-player co-op defense game, set in medieval Vietnam, combining elements of roguelikes and tower/hero defenses with the combat of an ARPG. 

Four Against Yuan

Play solo or with up to three friends, choosing between 4 unique heroes, each with their own set of customizable weapon loadouts and skill trees, enabling a wide range of playstyles.
