Fate Defenders Of Grimheim

I love this game. I've played and sold off hundreds of dungeon crawlers, solo/coop fantasy games, etc in my life. But, this one is a definite keeper for my collection. + The straightforward intuitive leveling of my hero. + The perfect simulation of a TD game's chaotic waves of monsters + tactical positioning puzzle is satisfying every turn + challenge level at baseline is high but doable + dice variance is spread over plenty of iterations, so bad beats are countered by epic moments + the really great minis - looking forward to paint them with a fun color scheme

I backed this on Kickstarter because it's made by the people who make Terraforming Mars which is among my favourite board games. I was right to trust them again. This has been a blast to play. My wife and I played this together on a dedicated us date day, and we enjoyed it so much we cancelled some of our other plans to play the game again! Looking forward to playing it some more in the near future.

An amazing game if you like spending a few hours with your friends planning your turns and possibilities together. It becomes very challenging towards the end, managing your heroes abilities well and planning ahead for the next 1 or 2 turns is crucial. As a cooperative game it supports groups of people with different experience in strategy games playing together. It is my favourite game a the moment and I am looking forward to more expansions!!!

This is an addictive town defense game that plays sort of like a turn-based MOBA. It's difficult to win on the harder time track, has decent humor sprinkled throughout, and plays fast enough that you'll want to set it back up again after losing. Rules are simple but you will have to learn each hero in order to play them optimally. There's lots of upgrades and some will be more important for the current board state than others. Though there's always a couple that are top tier. Anyway, if it looks like something you might enjoy but you're on the fence, just pick it up. This game is top tier, challenging, and great fun. What more do you want?

Brilliant and charming game. I think this is the best medium-weight dungeon crawler. I usually prefer this over great games like Cthulhu Death May Die, Spirit Island, and Keep the Heroes Out. I enjoy the character building, and the format is great for future expansions. The illustrations and the minis are very charming. Works for both kids and adults. I look forward to playing it when the minis are painted. Good work Jonathan!!!
