✦ AI summary

Stonehold is a straightforward roguelite tower defense game with quick, pressure-filled runs that players find easy to pick up and enjoy for its streamlined design and constant engagement. However, most players feel it's quite limited in scope and content, with complaints about short gameplay length, minimal visual polish, and a shallow upgrade system that leaves some wanting more depth and variety. Players generally view it as acceptable for a free title but express little enthusiasm about recommending it, with some noting it's not compelling enough to justify the download time.

Stonehold is a very simple roguelite tower defense game, but I found the short runs surprisingly easy to get into. The basic idea is that I have to defend my stone walls against waves of enemies while trying to survive for as long as possible. There is not much story getting in the way, which I think works well here. I can start a run almost immediately and concentrate on surviving the next wave. The combat is built around improving my firepower in real time. Enemies keep coming toward the walls, so I have to react quickly and make sure I am dealing with the biggest threats before they overwhelm my defenses. I liked the constant pressure because there is never really a point where I can completely relax. Even when a wave seems manageable, I still need to think about what might come next. The roguelite progression is what gives Stonehold most of its replay value. After defeating minibosses, I can choose powerful upgrades that make my defenses stronger during the run. This means each attempt can develop differently depending on what upgrades I pick. I enjoyed having to make those decisions because choosing something that seems useful right now is not always the best option for surv…

good and all but honestly it's a bit too short, maybe with a few more minutes of gameplay and 2 new mutations (like more dmg or accuracy) and i'd pay a little for the game, short, low visuals but well executed. 2.5/5 stars

Hi. So I sucked at this game. Checked the comments. One said, that only speed and damage is needed. I came back to game. Did that. At first it was good. Later there was too many monster and they hit my life - points and I lost the game again. So life and regeneration are important too in future. But I got further with speed and damage advice. But sometimes it is survival - to have more health than enemy can take. Survival is important too. Also I picked at first speed perk and later power perk. Too many monsters, not enough speed and I lost... health low and bye bye. This is a good game. Thank you. It is fun. EDIT: I won the whole game. I got the REBOUNCE and I won. No monster hit my lifepoints. : O And I upgraded life and regen for nothing. REBOUNCE was game changer x DDD

Even for a free game, it's not worth the time it takes to download.

Games like Noita, where the physics is the real enemy

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.

Tormented Souls price: a horror game that stopped moving

The Tormented Souls price has not budged in six weeks of our readings. What that means for buying it, and whether the 2025 sequel is the better purchase instead.
