Extremely well designed game, tons of replayability. I would caution the casual gamer on this one though. It’s casual in the sense that it’s a tower defense, but it is by far the most complex classic tower defense I’ve played, and I’ve played quite a few of them.

Lots of potential wasted with choose 1 out of 3 roguelite model and insane enemy hp scaling. Its a fun ride for a few ascension runs and the normal mode but then it becomes a slog, 6/10.

Complex, difficult and addictive. Unlike other tower defense games, NORDHOLD truly allows for a variety of different strategies. It encourages experimentation. My best game so far in regular mode was wave 37 which I managed to repeat multiple times. But even after 100 hours I did not get any further than that, unfortunately. I don't have time to hang around Youtube or Discord to learn intricate M.E.T.A. tactics, so maybe in the future I might find builds on my own which work better. The only downside of the game is that it does not guide or help players in trying to improve. Statistics are only available after the monsters broke into your city.

First TD in a while that I didn't find tedious or boring to play. I love the idea of TDs but most of the time I play one it's not nearly as fun as I thought it would be. This one kept me playing for hours while not realizing how much time went past. It is very challenging with zero meta progression. Took me ~2 hours to get out of the "tutorial" (which imo could explain stuff a little more). But after a few runs and with more and more upgrades you "quickly" get to a point where you only fail because you ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up, not because the mobs outscaled your capabilities. The balancing is neat because the early game of a run is the dangerous part. If you're going to lose a run it's most likely going to be there. Meaning once you have solidified your eco and setup you're not risking dying in the late game. It's still challenging, but you get to relax and cruise more in the late game. Genuinely do recommend the game even at full price. I had a lot of fun in the ~25 hours it took me to 100% the achievements.

One of the best tower defense games I have ever played. As I have gotten older I have found myself spending more time looking at games rather than playing them. My wishlist is full of random things I think I would possibly like but rarely do I ever purchase them. Occasionally a steam sale will get me to pull the trigger and buy one and I often spend a couple hours playtesting the game only to never pursue it again. Games just don't really "capture" me like they used to. I find myself playing Slay the Spire with the occasional playthrough of Kenshi or Stellaris. Fall of 2024 I stumbled upon the free preview version of Nordhold and it was a blast! I was cautiously optimistic when the full version launched that the full product would be as balanced and polished as the demo- and it is! I am delighted to say that I have finally found a game that "captures" me again. I think about it when I am not playing it- constantly trying out new strategies and combinations. The game has a near perfect blend of consistency, randomness, tactics, meta progression, and difficulty curve that I am having a hard time putting it down. There are a few minor balance tweaks that I think could improve the game but I find myself having so much fun from playthrough to playthrough that none of that matters. I actually enjoy the game well enough that I would recommend it even for its full price (and I am a cheapskate). If you like tower defense games and/or the roguelite genre, I would whole heartedly recommend Nordhold.
