The game

An endless siege, fought together.

Zotenhold is a cooperative action survival RPG. The Mavalkin horde comes for the hold of Zotenhold in endless waves, and your company is all that stands in the way.

Choose a class, spend skill points on its tree, gear up between waves and learn to fight as a group. The game is built for big co-op sessions where the players who talk to each other are the ones who survive.

01

Horde defense

Hold the castle against waves of the Mavalkin. Fight through the pressure, regroup, and prepare for the next assault.

02

24 classes

Warriors, casters, healers and summoners share the roster with less conventional defenders like the Cook and Gardener.

03

Fight as a company

Choose complementary roles, protect your allies and coordinate your abilities when the horde closes in.

04

Loot and progression

Compare equipment, check your attributes and spend skill points to shape your build.

Co-op combat

Built around communication.

Call for heals, draw enemies away from an ally, or interrupt a dangerous cast. Your class matters, but so does what you do for the group.

Enemy cast bars

See what an enemy is casting and whether it can be stopped. Interrupt a Sun Priest’s heal before it mends the whole pack.

Taunt and threat

Enemies run a shared threat table. Tanks taunt and hold it so the rest of the company can do its job.

Fixating hunters

Some enemies lock onto one player. That player needs to know, and so does everyone else.

Cinder Bombers

Suicide runners that must be taunted away or killed before they reach the group.

Watch your retreat

Turning away from a melee attacker can leave you slowed. Make room to escape before the crowd surrounds you.

Protect the revive

Bringing a downed ally back takes time. Give the player reviving them room to finish.

Ping wheel

Fast callouts for targets, danger and help without stopping to type.

Read the fight

Keep track of your health, your party and the effects changing the battle.

Meet the 24-class roster.

Each class has its own abilities and skill tree. Find your role, then choose the upgrades that suit the way you want to fight.

The Mavalkin

The horde, the boss and the loot they carry.

Watch for different threats in the crowd, not just the enemy closest to you.

Face the giant

The Orange Giant brings a larger threat to the battlefield. Watch its attacks, make space, and keep your allies in the fight.

The horde

The Mavalkin mix melee, ranged, casters, healers and suicide runners, so every wave asks something different of the group.

  • Mavalkin Thrall
  • Bone Archer
  • Ash Hound
  • Sun Priest
  • Cinder Bomber
  • Void Reaver
  • Chain Warden
  • Frost Archer
  • Plague Spitter
  • Shadow Acolyte
  • Storm Wisp
  • Gore Cleaver

Loot

Weapons, armor and accessories give you more ways to build your character. Check the equipment and attributes together before deciding what earns a place in your bag.

Bring reinforcements

A Summoner can call allies into battle. Give your company another way to meet the horde.
