House TD 2 Beginner Guide — How to Start

House TD 2 Beginner Guide

The House TD 2 (official name: The House TD 2 - Launch) is a horror tower defense game by DeadB Studios, the sequel to the original The House TD. You summon units, equip items, roll curses and defend cursed floors from waves of zombies, ghosts, shadows, demons and bosses — solo or with up to 12 players per server.

The core loop

  1. Summon units from two pools — Urns and the Tomb. Units come in rarities up to Secret and Forbidden (the top two tiers carry unique serial numbers).
  2. Equip items on your units. Items are more than cosmetics — hats, backpacks, torsos and tools provide real power (an in-game item index shows how many of each item exists).
  3. Place units in the map and defend. Units have placement limits (3-6 per unit type) and attack types (AOE, beam, projectile, warp, chain…).
  4. Roll Voodoo Curses with Voodoo Tokens to boost stats — each curse has three tiers, and matching curses can be locked and upgraded.
  5. Win waves, earn Coins, repeat. Bosses appear at the end of each stage.

Factions

Units belong to six factions: Undead, Paranormal, Demon, Military, Holy and Omni. At the end of a run, faction coins go to the faction with the most units in your squad (ties pay Omni). Faction skill trees unlock perks like extra XP (Blessed Start), a chance to refund Voodoo Tokens (Lucky Hacks), discounted shop items (Hagler), higher sell value (Fence) or bonus coins (Golden Touch).

Game modes

  • Campaign (Floors 1-4): the main story mode. Each floor has stages (1-1, 1-2…) ending in a final boss — see the Bosses list. Floor 4 maps are called Geisha’s Grudge and have Normal and Horror difficulties.
  • Endless: two endless maps where enemies keep scaling (waves gain +10% HP and more spawns). Bat and Gazer are endless specials.
  • The Gauntlet: added in The Gardens update — every 3 waves you choose a path (roguelike-style). Runs at 1.5x speed; leaderboards are coming.
  • The Gardens: survival-test mode where you earn Garden crates every 5 waves. Garden crates drop unique rewards below wave 50.
  • Limited events: the Launch Party gave the now-gone Death Joke unit; the Purge event starts the weekend of Aug 22, 2026.

Economy

  • Coins — summoning, shop, upgrades, selling.
  • Voodoo Tokens — rolling curses.
  • Endless coins — earned in endless mode (e.g. the gardener’s shovel costs 4,750).
  • Garden crates — Gardens mode rewards.

Progression tips

  • Start on Normal difficulty with 3 cheap units, focus upgrades on one main damage dealer, and wait for the door animation to finish before placing your third unit.
  • Keep Shiny, cursed or geared units stacked separately in your inventory — they never bulk-sell with identical units.
  • Selling is capped at 2,000 units at once for safety.
