Outhold

In Outhold you play tower defense and buy incremental upgrades between runs. You defend the last fires of Outhold. A run goes as far as your defenses can hold, then you take the resources you collected, buy upgrades and try again, getting a little further each time until your towers flatten everything. The upgrade tree is where the planning happens. You can pour everything into one tower type or chase combinations between towers, and every upgrade can be refunded for free, so trying a strange build costs you nothing. There are many ways through the game. It's meant to be compact. Steam lists about 4 to 5 hours across 10 levels, plus extra late-game content for people who like min-maxing builds. Tellus Games released it in December 2025. It's a good choice if you want a tower defense you can finish in a weekend, with enough build variety to try it a second way.
