Hold the Core

This is an automated marketing readiness audit of Hold the Core, based on its public Steam page, from Faven Games. It scores how ready the game is to earn creator coverage and press, and flags what to improve.

A roguelite tower defense about trading safety for power. Draft Risk Cards, shape enemy routes, evolve towers, and survive deadly enemies and bosses.

  • 14 screenshots and a trailer

What to fix

  • Add Tower Defense and Roguelite tags
  • Explain the risk-reward loop in one line for newcomers
