Our take on Hold The Fort
The focus on defending fixed positions puts tower placement and spell use at the center of combat, rather than direct control of units. That choice limits the tactical focus to managing defenses against incoming waves.
What is Hold The Fort?
Hold The Fort is a fantasy tower defense game about protecting a kingdom from an enemy attack while the king is away.
Use eight types of towers, including a Ballista and an ice-throwing turret, and cast ten spells to damage enemies or support defenses. Killing enemies grants experience toward levels that unlock towers, upgrades, and spells through a talent tree. The game includes a campaign and an unlimited survival mode. Survival mode lets players test the maps against three factions and a range of enemy types. Camera controls allow rotation and zoom during battles.
