What is Hold The Mine?

This single-player, 2D strategy roguelite takes place in a forgotten mine threatened by monsters from a cursed tower. During each run, you plan digging routes within a limited number of daily expeditions, gather resources, construct buildings, and rescue and upgrade trapped heroes. At night, heroes fight automatically while you activate building powers to protect the mine's gate.
