Please Hold
Read full descriptionHide full description
The elders say these walls have stood for 400 years. Sounds unlikely, but we say okay. Anyway… every life in this town is in your hands now. No pressure. Please Hold is a real-time tower defense game where arrows run out and the battle keeps moving. Train archers, musketeers and bombardiers while workers make and carry the ammunition that keeps them firing. Turn a handful of defenders into a wall full of firepower. Send swordsmen to meet the attack and medics to patch up the survivors. More troops, stronger weapons or faster supplies? Your next purchase could give a struggling defense room to breathe. Behind the wall, workshops keep producing and carriers keep running. Out front, the enemy keeps coming. They seem quite committed to this. Build, recruit and upgrade as the fight unfolds—and watch a fresh shipment get your archers firing again. Bring Heroes into the thick of it. Freeze enemies with the Ice Sorcerer, set explosive traps with the Sapper or send the Ninja leaping into battle. Choose their positions, develop their skills and time an ability for the moment your troops need it most. Face war elephants. Someone looked at your wall and decided an elephant was the answer. Hold out against endless waves of increasingly powerful enemies. Keep developing your Heroes across runs and see how long you can keep the wall standing. The next army is coming. Please Hold.
