Build by day. Survive the horde by night. Hold the Dawn is a 3D wasteland tower defense with unique auto-fighting heroes, tactical towers, zombie waves, and co-op over Steam, LAN, or local play.
Original Steam description
The last lights still burn. The dead do not rest.
Hold the Dawn is a 3D tower defense game set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. By day, you rebuild and expand your stronghold. By night, the horde comes. Choose a hero with a distinct fighting style—they battle on their own while you command the defense: place towers, shape the battlefield, and keep the base standing until sunrise.
A Day to Build. A Night to Survive.
Daylight is scarce. Use it to raise defenses, deploy towers, and upgrade your base before the next assault. Every placement is a bet on how the night will unfold—choke points, overlapping fire, fallback lines.
When darkness falls, zombies surge across the wastes. Your towers open fire. Your hero auto-fights in the thick of the swarm. Cut them down, hold the line, and make it to dawn.
Heroes Who Fight. You Who Decide.
Each survivor brings a different edge to the field. Unlock new heroes and grow their abilities as you progress, so the next night starts stronger than the last. You set the plan. They hold it.
Towers With Tactical Weight
A varied arsenal of defensive structures—damage, control, and support—meant to be combined, not stacked blindly. The right layout breaks a wave. The wrong one collapses.
Hold the Line Together
Play solo, or defend the base with friends. Local, LAN, or Steam online.
