## What is Hold Fire?

Hold Fire is an offline turret defense game where you pull the trigger yourself: a roguelike tower defense shooter you can play with no wifi and no internet. Part defense game, part shooting game, all strategy.

Hold your finger down: the cannon aims, heats up and fires. Between waves, place your turrets. Then do it again, a hundred times, all the way to the Leviathan.

▸ TWO GAMES IN ONE
Turrets hold the lane while you cover what they cannot see: the jammer they ignore, the runner that outruns them, the flyer no mortar will ever catch. They will never be enough on their own.

▸ 100 WAVES, 10 SECTORS
Ten lanes, ten field rules, ten bosses. A brand new enemy type every ten waves, and a boss that pushes to the extreme whatever it just taught you. Twenty-two foes in all, from the Grunt to the Leviathan.

▸ AIM FOR THE CORES
White weak points take triple damage. One placed shot beats ten sprayed ones, and the cannon overheats if you never let go.

▸ 5 TURRETS, 7 UPGRADES
Gatling, mortar, flak, tesla, missile launcher: each covers what the others let through. In the workshop: caliber, rate of fire, cooling, optics, piercing, volley and a second cannon, each with its own final breakthrough.

▸ A PACT AFTER EVERY BOSS
Three deals on offer, only one signed, binding to the end of the run. More damage for less range, gold for hit points. Nothing comes free.

▸ EVERY RUN COUNTS
A roguelite: waves reached earn fragments, fragments buy permanent modules. Seventeen of them: starting gold, base plating, turret blueprints, negotiated prices. The next run starts higher.

▸ OFFLINE, NO WIFI, NO ACCOUNT
Everything lives on your device: this tower defense game runs with no wifi and no internet, on a plane or underground. No sign-up, no waiting, no lives to refill. A run starts in seconds.

▸ FREE, NO CATCH
Nothing to buy. Every three waves, an ad may play during the build phase: the game is frozen while it runs, never in the middle of a wave. Another may appear between runs. After a run you can choose to watch a video to double your fragments or restart from the wave you fell on. No ad ever makes your cannon stronger.

▸ WHO IS IT FOR?
Tower defense fans who want to aim for themselves, players looking for an offline shooting game with real strategy, and roguelike lovers who like a defeat that makes the next run stronger. Neon retro art, darksynth soundtrack.

English, French, Spanish, Japanese and Korean.

Hold the line.
