About the Game

In Hold the Mine, explore a long-forgotten mine, gather precious resources, and build powerful structures that synergize with the heroes you unleash along the way. As night falls, defend your mine against relentless waves of monsters.

Your goal? Hold the line and survive until the sun rises! 

Each day, you’ll guide your dwarf through the mine with a limited number of expeditions, allowing you to mine several blocks in a row. Optimize your route and let them do the rest! But be careful not to venture too far into the unknown — who knows what dangers lurk in the darkness?

Use your resources to construct powerful buildings with unique effects. Discover blueprints and create smart synergies that boost your progress and defense as the mine grows deeper.

Free heroes trapped within the mine and enhance them using mysterious runes and exotic fruits found along the way. Unlock their abilities and upgrade their stats to unleash their full potential and protect the gate each night.

Certain buildings allow you to use battle-changing powers when the time is right. Use them wisely to help your heroes hold back the army of monsters sent by the cursed tower and prevent the mine's door from being blown up.

A really promising project! Gameplay is simple, split between an addictive resource gathering phase and a tense auto-battler / defence phase. Whether you succeed or fail, you make progress in a rogue-lite skill tree

A Fun little game where you play as dwarves who, like any good dwarf, dig and defend their mines. Simple and effective. The art style is cool, and the gameplay loop works really well. In short, I got hooked and had a

Overall solid game, it knows what it is. An arcade roguelite with mining and limited build mechanics. Limited progression and more just understanding the mechanics. If you don’t like reading long reviews skip to the

Looking at my playtime, I probably don't need to mention how much I enjoy Hold The Mine. It's simple, yet challenging. It's fun to try out different dwarf combos and fight your way to the top of the leaderboard. The new

This is a fun game that very much is in the early stages as it states. The nice thing about it, even though it is in early access is that it runs well. I experienced no crashed, no lag, no stutters, etc. with the
