## What is Cinderhold?

The kingdom's fire is fading. All that stands at the last watchtower is your resolve.

Cinderhold is a classic tower defense wrapped in hand-painted dark fantasy art. Raise towers and barracks along every path to hold back the ember horde, and keep the crumbling gate from falling. A complete offline single-player strategy game — no internet required.

■ Dark Fantasy Tower Defense
A true tower defense set in a dying ember kingdom. Read each path and place your towers to build the perfect defensive line.

■ 9 Tower Lines x 4 Tiers
Archer, Arcane, Mortar, Barracks, plus Frost, Tempest, Venom, Beacon and Treasury. Build to each foe's weakness in a deep strategy game.

■ 30 Stages Across 3 Chapters
A campaign through the Cinder Plains, Frost Ruins, and Heart Crater. 15 enemies and 3 chapter bosses each threaten the gate in a different way.

■ Ember Forge Progression
Spend shards from battle on permanent tower upgrades. A defense game that grows deeper the more you play.

■ Three Difficulties
Story, Standard, Calamity. Earn stars to open the next chapter and take on true siege warfare on Calamity.

■ Offline Single-Player
A complete campaign with no internet connection. Korean and English supported.

Hold the last watchtower and save the ember kingdom.
