## What is Sporehold?

Plan your attacks. Can they survive the enemy’s response?
Lead a squad of mushroom warriors in Sporehold, a turn-based strategy game where committing to an attack is only the beginning. Enemies react before your strikes land, disrupting attacks and pushing your warriors out of position. Build a plan that can withstand their response.

A KINGDOM UNDER THE PURPLE PLAGUE
The Purple Plague has seized neighboring lands and enslaved their rat inhabitants. Deep beneath Sporehold, the Ancient Mycelium awakens, growing warriors to defend the mushroom kingdom.
Lead them into battle, reclaim fallen cities, and uncover fragments of a forgotten past.

BUILD YOUR SQUAD
Choose mushroom warriors with unique abilities and combine their strengths. Unlock new warrior forms as you progress, adapt your squad to each mission, and grow reinforcements directly on the battlefield.

MAKE EVERY MOVE COUNT
Position your warriors, choose your targets, and commit your attacks. Enemy counterattacks can cancel a strike or change where it lands. Careful positioning and attack order can mean the difference between a broken plan and a decisive victory.

RECLAIM FOUR CITIES
Fight through 16 campaign missions across four chapters. Destroy plague structures, hunt dangerous spores, and break through enemy defenses to reclaim fallen cities.
Discover a fantasy world brought to life in pixel art.

START YOUR JOURNEY FOR FREE
Play Part I for free. Unlock Parts II-IV with a single in-app purchase to continue the campaign.
