About Band of Defenders

Band of Defenders is a modern online CO-OP FPS game where up to four players protect one central object against masses of savages and mutants who rule the world, which is slowly recovering from nuclear apocalypse. Players build, repair and upgrade barricades and turrets, craft weapons and try to survive waves of enemies.

Each game consists of a few waves of enemies and the players have time to build their defenses after they deal with each wave. The last wave is always lead by one of the enemy bosses, highly dangerous individuals that will test your defenses and skills to the fullest.

First of all, we wanted to create a fun shooter game that has everything players expect and desire. Tons of different weapons, fluid animations and a good feeling from shooting bad guys. And because Band of Defenders is a cooperative game, you can play it solo, with friends or with complete strangers — it is completely up to you how you want to enjoy your game. The world of Band of Defenders is also extremely brutal, so make sure you can handle a little bit of bloodshed.
Do you like survival games where you have to build defenses to survive attacks from savage enemies? We love those but we think that it takes too much time to play, for example, 7 Days to Die and really enjoy it. Band of Defenders comes with a similar idea but it's focused on shorter (around 20-30 minutes) individual battles. You start only with a basic equipment but you fortify your stand to beat more and more dangerous waves of enemies and beat the boss that comes at you in the end.
You build various barricades and automated turrets, craft weapons, set minefields to protect vulnerable spots and prepare for the worst, which always comes.


You get experience points after each battle and, by leveling up, you get a crate with some useful equipment – new guns to craft, new upgrades to your turrets, new barricades to build, perks that give you a better gun on a better start of each game, etc. So, a higher level means more and better equipment and a higher chance to survive, especially if you want to play on higher difficulties.
Are you ready for one of the best visual customization experiences you can have in online shooters? Without buying keys to actually get items you rightfully won? Band of Defenders lets you customize all characters without trying to rob you. You just have to win a game, get your new items and try to figure out what combination of visual items give you the best looks. From character skins, headwear and face accessories to cool armors and knife skins, ranging from regular items to crazy ones, you will have almost an infinite number of combinations so your character will be unique.
You are a mercenary, member of the elite group Band of Defenders. You came from the vaults deep under the destroyed surface of the Earth and you want to reclaim what is rightfully yours. However, the world is still a very hostile place, with the Cult of Gore uniting mutants and savage bandits into the horde that is the main power that kills, pillages and stops any attempts to start the human civilization anew.
That means a lot of work for you and your fellow mercenaries. Take pride in protecting the remnants of what once was a decent human society (so decent that it eventually destroyed the world with nukes...). Only you are able to defend the weak and the wealthy against hazards of this new deadly world.

  • Band of Defenders is packed with content and action for you to enjoy each minute of the many hours you will be playing
  • 30+ weapons including pistols, assault rifles, grenade launchers, mines, grenades and some more futuristic pieces, such as laser or tesla rifles
  • 65+ buildings (3 unique barricade types, 4 unique turret types and special structures like the gun nest or "door") to build
  • 10+ enemies ranging from expendable bandits trying to punch you to elite mutants in heavy armor and mortar in hand
  • 4+ maps in various post-apocalyptic sceneries
  • 3+ enemy bosses that will test your defenses at the end of each battle
  • 4 difficulties that come not only with scaling of enemy stats but also with completely new sets of waves of enemies that will be attacking you
  • 3+ characters to choose from — do you see yourself as valorous soldier, a sexy woman lieutenant or a huge mutant that switched sides and fights against his own?
  • 200+ items for visual customization — hats, face accessories, armors, character skins, knife skins and models
  • Endless mode: protect yourself against waves of enemies — the next one always stronger than the previous one
  • No microtransactions, so all content is yours for the taking!

Still selling this game is a scam. It needs a connexion to a dead server in order to play. Still selling this game is a total scam.

Half baked t.u.r.d, even simple feature does not work such as reloading weapon when pressing R. Why does player must start in center of map and has to wonder from which side first waves will appear? Because you have to build turrets right? Player movements feel clunky enough and does not feel smooth at all. What really pisses me off is that your turrets and barricades can be destroyed. Four hits from enemies and turrets goes bye bye, such a bs. To buy a turret you first must click B to upgrade turret you must press N, why so complicated?
