Jul 22, 2025Holdfast: Nations at War is a community-driven historical military shooter that leans heavily into its player-based roleplay system. The laborious combat won't be for everyone, and you'll only get out of it what you put into it from a social roleplaying standpoint. But there's something special about standing on the frontline with my musket, laugh-crying at my fake French teammates, all while listening to rock music blaring from the commander's megaphone. That's Holdfast, in a nutshell.

Aug 13, 2025Holdfast: Nations At War is fun mess. As a battle for territory, it struggles to coordinate the large player count. Enemy soldiers can be tricky to spot at a distance and a packed fort can leave very little room for shots. What it does offer is an absurd scenario where players will find a role to play and commit to the bit. I have had some unforgettable, stupid moments with this game and the willingness of the community to play along delivers something unique.
