Hold the Line

Hold the line or everything falls.

One hero, one keep, and wave after wave of goblins, skeletons, pirates and worse coming in down six roads. Pick Bjorn, Ember, Wren or Shade, each with five skills, and fight beside the keep's archers while you build towers and barricades between waves.

Every level up offers talent cards, the tavern sells items that combine into synergies, and a boss turns up every fifth wave. Survive all 25 waves of the campaign, or see how far you get in Endless. Valor earned in each run buys perks and new hero paths for the next one.

Major updatePosted

Towers, five skills and a bigger meadow

Hold the Line version 0.2

Version 0.2 makes the battlefield 50% bigger and gives you much more to work with: tower plots around the keep, five skills for every hero, and a deeper item shop with five rarities.

Additions

  • Added towers, built on four rings of plots around the keep:
    • Arrow Tower
    • Hex Spire
    • Healing Shrine (also mends nearby towers)
  • Towers have health. Enemies near a tower attack it, and a destroyed tower has to be rebuilt. Towers get 30% health back between waves and can be repaired, upgraded or torn down.
  • Added build mode: see the whole map and tap a plot to build, upgrade, repair or tear down.
  • Added the Siege wave modifier: enemies go for your towers first and deal double damage to them.
  • Added a minimap in the top right corner.
  • Every hero now has five skills: Q, E and R from the start, F at level 4 and G at level 8. Keys 1 to 5 work too.
  • New skill sets:
    • Bjorn: Shield Slam, War Cry, Earthsplitter, Stone Skin, Mountain Wrath
    • Ember: Meteor, Flame Ward, Inferno, Flame Wave, Firestorm
    • Wren: Volley, Piercing Arrow, Arrow Rain, Gale Shot, Sky Hunt
    • Shade: Shadow Dash, Smoke Bomb, Poison Blades, Whirling Blades, Death Mark
  • Added 58 items in five rarities: common, uncommon, rare, epic and legendary. Legendaries carry a special power.
  • Added 20 item slots.
  • The merchant now offers 6 items, and you can lock up to two so a restock keeps them.
  • The odds for each rarity are shown above the merchant. No legendaries appear before wave 4.

Tweaks/Improvements

  • The map is 50% bigger, with six curving roads into the keep. The camera follows your hero.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed Ember's meteor. It now flies in from the upper left, rock first.
