The game
What is HIT: Hold It Together?
HIT: Hold It Together is a 4v4 online team arena fighter by Scalestorm Studios. Every hero is built from 119 voxel blocks that break off when hit: knock blocks off your opponents, cut off their limbs, and keep fighting as every lost piece changes how you move and attack. You fight with a sword, a bow and a gun.
What happens when you lose a limb?
You keep fighting, differently:
- Lose an arm and you can’t use the bow, but the sword and gun still work.
- Lose a leg and you move at 65% speed; lose both and you drag yourself along at 40%.
- Lose both arms and you have no weapons.
- Lose all four limbs and you are immobilised — though you can still self-destruct.
The full table is on the How to play page.
How do you win a match?
Three ways: have more blocks left than the other team when the five-minute clock runs out, strip every enemy down to their core to win early, or channel the hill at the centre of the arena to full to win outright.
Is there blood or gore?
No. Fighters break apart into coloured blocks; there is no blood or gore.
Is there friendly fire?
Yes. Swords, arrows, bullets and self-destruct blasts all hit teammates.
What games is HIT: Hold It Together like?
If you like games where you lose limbs, such as Clone Drone in the Danger Zone, Half Sword or GUTS, HIT: Hold It Together takes that idea into 4v4 team PvP with swords, bows and guns, three ways to win and no gore. If you like 4v4 arena games such as Splitgate, it is a team arena fight where your body is the health bar.
