Nordhold

Nordhold is a cleverly combined strategy game that mixes tower defense with strategic city building/management and roguelite elements. The goal is to defend a medieval city against hordes of invading enemies. At the beginning, there is a path into the city to be defended, which the player can do with eight different towers that automatically attack the approaching enemies. The towers are built along the path, and elevation plays a role in their placement, especially in range. All towers offer numerous upgrades, even with a handy auto-upgrade option, and useful setting options, such as what attack priorities certain enemies should have (e.g. low health, etc.). At first glance, the towers appear to be fairly standard. However, the perks and upgrades available in certain waves make all the difference, up to and including powerful fusions. However, mazing is not possible, i.e. the player cannot directly influence the path of the enemies.
