Hold the line.

Raise your shield, thrust your spear, and time your counterattack as you hold the pass alongside your comrades. A voxel action game adapted from the open-source voxel-musou.

The phalanx-defense version is still in development; a desktop browser is recommended.

About the project

From charging alone into a crowd to holding your place in a phalanx: this adaptation shifts the action toward shields, parries, and advancing the line, exploring how comrades beside you can become part of the fight.

What you can do

  1. Watch enemies prepare their attacks, then raise your shield or parry at the right moment.
  2. Thrust from behind your shield, push with it, and advance the whole line.
  3. Adapt your approach to defending a wall, a night raid, and a circular formation.

Where it stands

The v2 phalanx-defense version is available to play online, with chapters of Leonidas’s story gradually being added.
