Explore and defend your mine against waves of monsters in this innovative roguelike survival game! Collect and manage your resources, discover buildings with unique effects and unleash mighty heroes to hold monsters out of the mine until the sun rises.

In Hold the Mine, explore a long-forgotten mine, gather precious resources, and build powerful structures that synergize with the heroes you unleash along the way. As night falls, defend your mine against relentless waves of monsters.
Your goal? Hold the line and survive until the sun rises!
Each day, you’ll guide your dwarf through the mine with a limited number of expeditions, allowing you to mine several blocks in a row. Optimize your route and let them do the rest! But be careful not to venture too far into the unknown — who knows what dangers lurk in the darkness?

Use your resources to construct powerful buildings with unique effects. Discover blueprints and create smart synergies that boost your progress and defense as the mine grows deeper.

Free heroes trapped within the mine and enhance them using mysterious runes and exotic fruits found along the way. Unlock their abilities and upgrade their stats to unleash their full potential and protect the gate each night.

Certain buildings allow you to use battle-changing powers when the time is right. Use them wisely to help your heroes hold back the army of monsters sent by the cursed tower and prevent the mine's door from being blown up.
