What is Defenders of the Realm
“Our Liege is in desperate hour! From what grievous cause have these accursed races arisen? Orcs, Dragons, Demons and the Dead make haste towards Monarch City. The King and Countryside of Monarch City is in need of valiant Heroes!”
Will you answer the King's call?
In the ancient Citadel of Monarch City, the King calls to arms the finest Heroes to defend against a Darkness that engulfs the land. You and your allies must embark on a journey to defend the countryside, repair the tainted lands, and defeat the four creature factions before any of them enter the City. And they approach from all sides! Fast populating Orcs! Fierce Dragons! Undead that bring Fear! And Demons! All tainting the land in their wake. There are several paths to defeat, but only one path to victory, and only the most valiant Hero will be named King's Champion.
Defenders of the Realm is a co-operative fantasy board game in which 1-4 players take a role as one of the King’s Champions (Choose from Cleric, Dwarf, Eagle Rider, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, Sorcerer and Wizard). You, as one of the King's Heroes, make use of strategy, special abilities, cooperation, card play and a little luck in Defenders of the Realm for a unique experience every adventure. But be forewarned! There is never time to rest. As each Enemy General is struck down in battle, the remaining dark forces only grow more difficult to vanquish and their march to Monarch City gets faster with each Hero victory!

What the community says about Defenders of the Realm
Cooperativo en el que los jugadores deben evitar que alguna de las cuatro facciones de las fuerzas del mal dominen la ciudad del centro. Para ello hay que usar las habilidades propias de cada personaje y tener algo de suerte con las cartas. No me gustan demasiado los cooperativos y este lo es. Desde luego, me parece mejor juego que el pandemic, pero eso tampoco es decir demasiado.
I don´t really like CO-OP Games but this is one i like, have pretty similar game mechanics like PANDEMIC but maybe the game theme improves the experience making more fun and is pretty more ameritrash since you roll dice to see what happens, but in the end you really need to coordinate with your fellow adventurers to acomplish the objective.
