It appears…there are many places where evil calls home. In far off lands, both ancient and vast, live yet more otherworldly creatures that terrify and prey upon the mortals of this world. But wherever there is oppression, the seeds of defiance will take root and grow... Village Attacks: Grim Dynasty is a brand new expansion to the hit fully co-operative castle defence game, steeped in the folklore of ancient China. Players must continue the ceaseless war with the mortal realm, taking on the roles of Monsters and defending their home from the near-endless waves of villagers who seek to end you once and for all! Grim Dynasty introduces new Monsters to play as and Town Heroes to combat, as well as entirely new Villager types to contend with! The Militia are a poorly trained and disorganised rabble, but with the new Tactics mechanics a Tactician can enter play at any time and order them to execute devastating manoeuvres! But the Monsters have their own new tricks. Artefacts can be strategically placed around the castle and bolster the already inhuman talents of the monsters that reside in the castle… -description from the publisher
