What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We love considering and implementing ideas from players, and we will use Early Access to both expand and improve the game. Early Access provides a great way of involving players in the development process, and we are looking forward to working with the community to make Hold the Mine the best game possible together.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We have tons of ideas to expand Hold the Mine. We plan to release the full version of the game by December 2026. This duration may be adjusted based on the needs of the game and the feedback from players.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan for the full version of Hold the Mine to have a lot of additional content influenced by community feedback during the Early Access period. The game will also have more heroes, buildings, relics and challenges! ”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is fully playable featuring 12 heroes, each with their own set of powers, over 50 unique buildings, 35 relics and 20 mine block types spread across two biomes, each with their own unique mechanics.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price won't increase during Early Access. As for the full version, we plan to increase the price when we leave Early Access and we will of course notify players in advance through Steam news updates.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We love involving the community in development and are active on our Discord and the Steam forums. We want to hear all suggestions, bug reports, and player feedback in order to make Hold the Mine the best game possible together.”

About This Game

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.
