About the Game



HexenHold is a combination of a tower defense and a 2D platformer where you play as a newly summoned minion of an “evil” necromancer that begrudgingly needs some help in fending off an invading force of skeletons and ghosts.

Frantically run up and down dungeons to strategically place towers bought with the gems dropped by defeated enemies. If there aren’t enough towers to get the job done, pick up and throw the enemies to get yourself involved in the action!

Prove your loyalty and defend your necromancer boss like your life depends on it! You may even get a promotion after all is said and done.



  • 4 unique towers to defend with.
  • Throwable enemies to bash against walls.
  • 3 original dungeons to defend.
  • Optional Endless mode for those wanting to test their strategic prowess.
  • A Necromancer that won't shut up (unless you want them to).
