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

Aimed skills, barricades and Endless

Hold the Line version 0.3

Version 0.3 lets you aim your skills, block the roads with barricades, and keep going past wave 25 in the new Endless mode. Waves also got a lot bigger.

Additions

  • Added Endless mode, picked on the hero screen. After wave 25 every wave brings more enemies with more health and damage, plus extra armor every 5 waves.
  • Endless has a boss every 5 waves: two at once from wave 40, three from wave 70.
  • Hero levels go to 100 in Endless (30 in the campaign).
  • Your best wave for each hero and difficulty is saved and shown.
  • Endless pays 10 bonus valor for every 10 waves.
  • Added aimed skills. Press a skill, then click where it should land. A dashed ring shows the range and the area; press the key again to cast at the cursor, or Esc or right-click to cancel.
  • On phones, tap a skill and then the map, or tap the skill twice to auto-aim.
  • Added barricades, three spots on every road:
    • Wooden Fence (40 gold): cheap
    • Log Wall (95 gold): tough
    • Spiked Palisade (120 gold): hurts attackers
    • Crystal Spikes (70 gold): a trap that hurts and slows whatever walks over it
  • Enemies stop to break walls in their way, and bosses smash straight through. Walls get stronger with the wave, get 30% health back between waves and can be repaired.

Tweaks/Improvements

  • Waves are 50% bigger.
  • Each reforge star now adds 40% to an item's stats, up to five stars.
