Line Defense

Line Defense is an arena survival game where you dodge attacks, parry projectiles back at enemies and keep moving to avoid being cornered. Each run brings a changing mix of enemies, bosses, projectiles and hazards, while the battlefield becomes harder to navigate.

Combat and movement

Time your parries to send projectiles into incoming enemies, turning their attacks against them. When you are cornered, a well-timed parry can clear a path. Dash through tight openings, reposition and slip past enemy formations; knowing where and when to move matters as much as dealing damage.

Perks and characters

Collect perks and upgrades during a run to stack bonuses, adjust your abilities and build combinations with useful synergies. Each run gives you a different set of options to experiment with. Characters have their own abilities, strengths and quirks: some emphasize mobility, others defense, and a few change how you approach a run.

Solo and local co-op

Play alone or in local co-op with up to three friends. More players bring more enemies and projectiles to the screen. You can work together and cover one another, while also taking care to avoid friendly fire.

Rounds and challenges

Standard rounds eventually lead into Freeplay, where the difficulty keeps increasing. You can take on bosses and postgame challenges, and push a run further as the battlefield grows more chaotic. Your completion speed can also affect how the run ends. Adjustable difficulty options let you change the challenge.
