How it plays

Prepare. Fight. Loot. Survive.

Hold Your Ground is a cooperative zombie survival IO game. You and up to 9 other knights prepare during the day, then face waves of enemies at night. Every kill drops loot, every wave earns progression, and the horde never stops growing.

Day & Night Loop

Prepare during the day — equip loot, swap builds, store gear in the Master Chest. When night falls, over 100 enemies flood the arena. Survive the wave, and a 10-second results screen shows your kills before the next day begins.

Knight Combat

Fight as a knight with a sword and free hands. Toggle between Jab (fast poke, triple-combo) and Swing (wide arc, 4-hit chain with a 360° spin finisher). Drop your weapon and punch bare-fisted. Every swing deals damage and knockback along the blade.

The Merging Horde

Zombies chase the nearest player and merge on contact, combining their level and health into bigger threats (max Lv5). Trolls hit harder with more HP. Goblins are fast and aggressive. The longer you survive, the nastier the horde gets.

Loot, Rarities & Gear

Zombie kills drop loot bags and gold coins. Gear rolls across 7 rarity tiers — from Common to Ungodly — each with stacked attributes like Attack Damage, Armor, Speed, Luck, and Health Regen. Equip weapons, armor, rings, necklaces, and helmets. Your Master Chest at the map center keeps items permanently across matches.

Knight · You

Armed knight. 100 HP, jab or swing combat, punch bare-handed without a weapon.

Zombie · Lv 1–5

Chases nearest player. Merges on contact into higher levels (max Lv5).

Troll · Lv 5+

Bigger, tougher, more HP. Unlocks at server level 5 alongside fast goblins.

The Horde

Three enemies. They get nastier.

Every enemy in Hold Your Ground is built from the same three sprite pieces — a head and two hands — rotated and animated in real time. Zombies merge on contact. Trolls are big and tanky. Goblins are fast and relentless. The longer the match runs, the tougher the horde gets.

collide · merge

Zombie levels add together, health combines, and at level 6+ the form becomes much tougher. Trolls unlock at server level 5, and goblins at level 10 — each with their own stats and behavior.

7 Rarity Tiers

Every piece of loot rolls a rarity — the rarer the drop, the more attributes it gets. Rare and above guarantee a stacked attribute (double or triple), boosting a single stat with multiple independent rolls. Higher Luck means better odds.
