About game
Fans of high-stakes survival games will find their new obsession in Hold the Field. You stand as the lone defender against an endless medieval horde that pushes you to your absolute limits. Your character handles the combat automatically, so your success relies entirely on your ability to navigate the battlefield without getting cornered. Every session pushes you to choose specific gear upgrades that shift your strategy as the enemies grow stronger. Wolves and armored knights swarm you from every direction, forcing you to keep moving to survive the chaos. Collecting experience shards allows you to evolve your build with new weapons and gear after each level-up. Massive warlords appear periodically to test your reflexes with dangerous ground-slam attacks that demand quick escapes. You can jump into this intense action right now in your browser without any downloads required.
How to play
On a phone: drag anywhere on the screen - the stick appears under your finger. On a computer: WASD or arrow keys.
Weapons fire on their own, there is no aiming. The whole game is movement: keep the horde from closing around you.
Fallen enemies drop blue experience shards. Collect them - on each new level the fight pauses and offers three cards. Take area weapons when the crowd is thick, and damage upgrades when enemies get tough.
Red hearts restore health, coins go into the camp purse. A golden ring under an enemy marks an elite: tougher and harder hitting. An orange circle around the Warlord warns of a ground slam - move away.
After you fall you can rise once by watching an ad. All gold from the run goes to the camp for permanent upgrades.
