About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey folks! Ready to defend the realm in Tiny Epic Defenders? After a tough war, peace reigned in the Capital, but don't get too comfortable, it never lasts! Hordes of monsters are on the march, and your city is in peril. It's time to gather your friends and show them who's boss!

In this cooperative micro-game, each player chooses a hero with unique powers – Barbarian, Sorcerer, Cleric, or Warrior – and everyone works together to fend off the approaching monsters. Time is short, and the action is frantic! You'll have to scramble across various regions surrounding the Capital, each with its own challenges and special properties. Every decision counts, and every action point is precious.

The goal? Survive the waves of creatures and, if all goes well, face the dreaded Epic Foe. If the Capital falls, it's game over, everything is lost. But if you're smart, strategic, and a little bit lucky, maybe you'll emerge crowned as the great defenders!

Tiny Epic Defenders is that quick game that fits in your pocket and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Perfect for those who enjoy a cooperative challenge with a fantasy theme and engaging mechanics that make you think, but without the lengthy playtime. Do you have what it takes to save the day? The adventure awaits!
