Unite old enemies to defend one capital against an epic foe in a pocket-sized co-op.
Tiny Epic Defenders is a pocket-sized cooperative game set in the world of Tiny Epic Kingdoms. After the Great War, the surviving factions have joined forces to protect a single capital city from an epic foe. Win by defeating that foe, lose if the capital falls. A deck of cards drives each round, telling you what threatens the city and when, while your heroes spend actions to fight, repair and hold the line across the map. Each hero has their own strengths, and the group decides where to send them. It plays solo or up to four in about half an hour, and its tiny box hides a surprisingly tense little defense puzzle.
Who it's for
You want a small, portable fantasy co-op that you can play on a short evening or solo on the go.
Not for you if…
You want deep strategy or lots of story. It is quick and luck-influenced, with a light story layer.
Vibe's take
Brisk and tense. The deck sets the pace, you are always one threat short of a plan, and winning feels like a close escape.
