Hold the Gate: Co-op Defense

One narrow gate. Beyond it, an endless goblin horde.
Summon heroes, build towers and barricades, and take direct control to hold the entrance.

■ Defense you actually play
- Steer one hero with the joystick while the rest fight on their own.
- HOLD to brace in place and refuse to be pushed back.
- Every hero has unique skills: tap to auto-aim, or drag onto the map to place them.
- Your worker mines ore — spend it to summon, upgrade and expand your castle.

■ Three factions, three ways to fight
- Royal Knights: Shieldbearers and Archers up to the Paladin and the Siege Engine
- Elves: block the path with Wood Golems and Spirit Trees, then sweep it clean with Archmage Riel's magic
- Beastfolk: a fierce pack led by the Tiger Berserker, the Azure Dragon Knight and the Black Cat Necromancer
- Each faction defends its own land: castle meadows, the silver forest, the red rock canyon

■ Online co-op with friends
- Create a 2- or 4-player room and invite friends with a link or room code.
- More players, wider gate — cram everyone's heroes into one choke point.
- Bots fill empty seats. Friends list and messages included.

■ Waves and bosses
- Waves that keep getting tougher, with a boss every 10 waves
- Defeat a boss and pick 1 of 3 reward cards
- Treasure chests appear mid-battle — jackpot or dud
- Four difficulties: Normal, Hard, Very Hard, Hell — above Normal, waves and bosses come in a new order every run
