Hold your houses
A 2017 tower-defense hybrid where you fortify a house against waves of robbers using a deck of weapons and upgrades. Niche, but mechanically sound if you want something between card strategy and real-time defense.
GamerScout Verdict
Best for strategy fans who enjoy optimizing card synergies and tolerate early-indie rough edges for mechanical depth.
Compare Prices(4 stores)
Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Hold your houses
Hold your Houses sits in that awkward middle ground between tower defense and deck-building roguelike. You're defending a house from increasingly aggressive robberies, picking weapons and upgrades from a card pool before each wave hits. The action-strategy mix works on paper: you place defenses, manage limited resources, and watch the chaos unfold. It's got enough mechanical depth to keep a few runs interesting, especially if you care about optimizing weapon synergies and upgrade chains. The catch is that this 2017 indie release feels exactly as rough as its release date suggests. No Steam reviews means no safety net for new players, and the tutorial doesn't hold your hand through build theory. If you're comfortable failing runs to learn positioning and timing, there's a solidly crafted defense puzzle underneath. But if you want accessibility or post-2020 polish, move on.
