Holdfast: Nations At War is an online multiplayer first and third-person roleplay shooter that places community at the forefront. Take part in historic clashes on land and at sea waged by the most powerful nations raging across eras. Charge into battle with over 150 players per server! ๐ฃ Proximity Chat Enabled Holdfast is more than just a game, the community provides an extra experience through the many role-play features and proximity voice chat. It brings role-players, regiment (clan) members, casual gamers, and those who are here just for the untimely funny moments together. The great Holdfast community welcomes you. โค๏ธ Engage in large-scale battles across multiple eras! Ram your shot and fire impressive displays of coordinated volleys in the Napoleonic Wars or take to the frontlines of WW1 and charge at the officer's whistle to death or victory. Embark aboard warships from the golden age of sail and take to the seven seas. Bombard the beaches of historic Gallipoli with the mighty dreadnought. Steadfast men in the ranks and take lead as an officer, fire devastating musket volleys while standing shoulder to shoulder, support the fight from the rear with artillery, command naval vessels, ride to glory on horseback or give โem steel with bayonet equipped. A grand selection of 27 classes to play with. Every class comes with its own traits and abilities which are crucial for your teamโs success. Battle-hardened soldiers can cosmetically display their feats through Holdfastโs player progression and customisation mechanics. Select from 100+ unlockables featuring customisable heads, unique backpacks, specialised muskets and melee weaponry or cheer for your Emperor with various gestures and shouts. Take the Kingโs shilling or fight for the Emperor in smoke-filled Napoleonic field battles! Declare your allegiance to the British Empire, French Empire, Kingdom of Prussia, Russian Empire, Austrian Empire or the Kingdom of Italy. Head over the top with the Central or Allied Powers and strive for dominance on trench-ridden battlefields of the Great War.
