A cooperative Norse tower-defense where every lost building brings the end closer.
Who it's for
Co-op fantasy fans who like tower-defense pressure and gradual hero-building across a session.
Not for you if…
You dislike dice-based combat resolution — outcomes lean on rolls rather than pure tactical certainty.
Vibe's take
Escalating and dice-driven, with mounting dread as the town shrinks around you — cooperation and hero synergy matter more than any single strong turn.
Fate: Defenders of Grimheim casts players as untested heroes left behind to defend the village of Grimheim after Loki unleashes monsters to destroy Freyja's sacred well. Cooperatively, you fight off trolls, the dead, and fire hordes advancing from every direction, gaining experience and gear as you go, racing to keep at least the well standing before it's too late.
