Grimhold

Grimhold is a browser-based tower defense roguelike where you choose a hero, build a squad of allies, and defend your barrier across 30 waves of increasingly brutal enemies.

Every run is different. Every loss teaches you something. Every victory is earned.

⚔️ Choose Your Hero 21 unique heroes — each with distinct abilities, upgrade paths, and a personal ending if you reach Act V. From the stubborn mage Krash to the 400-year-old soul devourer Morrigan, every character plays differently and has a story that ends with them.

🏰 Five Acts. One Campaign. Progress through five acts, each with 30 waves and a boss encounter. Unlock the next act by surviving the current one. Act V ends with Malachar — and something you won't expect.

🎲 Game Modes

• Standard — the classic Grimhold experience
• Endless — waves never stop. How long can you hold?
• Randomizer — completely random enemies every wave
• Pacifist — infinite HP, no pressure, pure strategy

💀 Four Difficulty Levels Easy, Normal, Hard, and Infernal — unlockable for those who survive in any mode.

🛒 Merchant System Three roaming merchants — Blacksmith, Apothecary, and Wandering Mage — appear every few waves with rotating item pools. Manage your gold. Choose carefully.

📜 Persistent Progression Earn Essence across runs to permanently unlock new heroes. Master characters to gain bonuses. Your collection grows. The bosses don't get easier.
