Corehold

Hold the Core!

Eight operations on a desert mesa, waves of mechs marching down the canyon paths, and only the turrets you put on the pads between them and the Core.

What you get

• Ten turrets: Autocannon, Railgun, Missile Battery, Siege Mortar, Flak Array, Arc Node, Cryo Node, Scan Relay, Salvage Rig and the Floodlight. Upgrade them, move them from pad to pad, set what they shoot first, or take CONTROL of one and aim it yourself.
• Eleven enemy types, from Scuttlers and Wasps to the Colossus bosses.
• Weather that rolls in between waves: dust, rain, snow and sandstorms, a flash flood, and night operations where turrets see half as far unless a Floodlight lights them up.
• Mutators that change the fight, each one announced when its wave starts.
• The Strike Wing: call an air strike on any point of a path.
• Three difficulties, all open: Normal at your own pace; Veteran and Nightmare launch the waves on a countdown.

Controls

• Click a pad to open the build ring; click a turret once to see its range and again to build it.
• Click a turret to open its panel: upgrade, move, targeting, CONTROL; hold to sell.
• Drag a turret off its pad onto another to move it.
• Click open ground to close a ring or a panel. The mouse wheel scrolls the turret rail.
• Gamepad supported. Every control is listed in HOW TO PLAY.
