About this expansion

Tiny Epic Defenders: The Dark War is an expansion for 1–4 players that adds a 60-minute fantasy campaign of desperate choices to Tiny Epic Defenders. In the ruined world of Aughmoore, Heroes must unite against spreading darkness, rescue survivors, and preserve what remains.

The expansion introduces a Campaign Mode that unfolds as an evolving gauntlet. Across multiple plays, players face Enemy Generals at set intervals instead of the regular Epic Foe. Their choices shape the threats they encounter and the abilities available to them, culminating in an Epic Foe if they survive the campaign.

Rescuing Caravans is a crucial part of the struggle. These shattered homes of villagers are scattered throughout the Regions, and players must escort them safely to the Capital City before they can defeat the Epic Foe. Meaningful decisions during play earn Experience Points, which can be spent to activate powerful Skills for the Heroes.

  • Play through an evolving Campaign Mode with Enemy Generals.
  • Assign Hero Skills and spend Experience Points to activate them.
  • Rescue and escort Caravans from the Regions to the Capital City.
  • Confront new Epic Foes, Dire Enemies, and challenging threats.
  • Explore Advanced Regions with dark and helpful sides, including 3D constructs such as a giant Tree, a rideable Manticore, and Sandstorms.

Advanced Regions bring both new dangers and new ways to aid the party. As the Campaign progresses, players work to restore each Region from its harmful dark side to its helpful light side. Restoring Regions and saving Caravans are essential choices in the fight to reclaim Aughmoore.

With new Heroes such as the Lionkin Charioteer and Birdfolk Shadow Walker, plus new Artifacts and enemies, Tiny Epic Defenders: The Dark War expands the Chronicles of Aughmoore with a campaign shaped by survival, sacrifice, and difficult decisions.
