Short Description
Stop Santa's hordes from taking over the Holiday Lands in this festive, fun tower-defense adventure.
Longer: Stop Santa's hordes from taking over the Holiday Lands in this festive, fun tower-defense game. Drop Roman Candles, Sparklers and Snow Blowers, and deploy heroes to hold the line across a storybook campaign.
Long Description
Meet Rudy.
When Santa turns the North Pole into a war machine, the only one standing in his way is Rudy — a big-hearted, in-over-his-head reindeer with a gift for making friends (and enemies) wherever he goes. Busted out of the workshop dungeon and chased into the snow, Rudy rallies an unlikely alliance of holiday misfits to defend the season. Holiday Alliance is a bright, funny tower-defense adventure set in the Holiday Lands.
Lead Rudy's alliance. Rudy fights on the front line himself — an unstoppable wall who blocks the horde while your towers do the work — backed by larger-than-life heroes who lunge, cleave, and turn the tide. Deploy them, position them, and hold the line.
Build a festive arsenal. Forget fixed slots — place your defenses anywhere off the path. Line up Party Popper cannons, single-target Roman Candles, crowd-slowing Disco Balls, blazing Sparklers, and frost-blasting Snow Blowers, then dig into deep specialization trees to shape each tower your way.
Master elemental combos. Freeze a swarm with frost, then shatter it with a well-timed blast. Set enemies ablaze with stacking fire. Mix damage types to counter armored Nutcrackers, splitting Snowmen, healing ballerinas, and the thundering Dasher boss.
Laugh through the story. Rudy's journey is a comic, character-driven campaign told in storybook cutscenes across 15 levels — full of heart, bad puns, and a twist you won't see coming.
