Balance: More Levels, Monster Generation | 11th King of the Hill Season Results

UPDATE 0.19.0


[h3]Balance Changes[/h3]
  • Monster generation has been reworked again: of the enemies you encounter during a run, part will always be the same and part will be randomly pulled from the pool;
  • There are now 12 levels instead of 11;
  • A quest is now given on level 10;

  • To unlock the next column in the mutations tree, you now need to upgrade 4 mutations, not 5 ⬆️;
  • We added a few small changes to the mutations tree. The two main ones are:

    1. Since the Mutations Tree now has a mutation that increases the chance for skills to trigger, most skills with a chance have had their initial stats reduced;
    2. Mutations for summoned creatures are now slightly more expensive.
  • Reinforcement: chance increased to 25% for most classes and 7% for Shooters;
  • Emergency Evac: stun radius increased and duration increased from 1.5 to 2 sec.

[h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]
  • We fixed some bugs. We might have added new ones, too, but we won't know that until later.

New One-Eyed Enemy, Reworked Progression | 10th King of the Hill Season Results

UPDATE 0.18.0
“Experiments continue! Take it, puny humans!”
As you probably noticed, the past season that has just ended was shorter than usual. "Any reason for that?", your puny brain might ask. Well, the reason is that we didn't have enough time to finish the important Mutations Tree change the last time around, okay? And we didn't want this to be delayed. Alright, now read what we added and back to the dungeon, human.

[h2]New Enemy[/h2]
Watcher, a one-eyed brainy creature that shoots at puny humans from range.


[h2]Mutations Tree Reworked (Again)[/h2]
There is now a progress bar that shows your Mutations Tree progression. New mutations are only available if you unlocked a number or required mutations and your progress bar is at a specific point. This change is meant to guide players towards optimal strategies. Oh, and we changed some mutation values too.




[h2]Fighters: The "Link" Class Ability Reworked[/h2]
Now all team units are tied by one general link. These units are no longer split into smaller groups. Re-applying the status on a certain unit extends the duration of the ability rather than applying a new one.


[h3]Balance changes[/h3]
  • From now on, you won't encounter all types of enemies in one run. Instead, a selected group of enemies will spawn during a run, resulting in certain types spawning in floor rooms more frequently;
  • Abilities of some enemies will have less effect on a fight;
  • Changed values of some mutations:
    • ”You Thought”: cooldown 15 sec -> 5 sec; mana cost 30 -> 10
    • “What a Spark!”: damage 100 -> 160
    • “Strike a Light”: damage 150 -> 300
    • “Napalm”: damage 150 -> 210
    • “Intimidation”: chance 8% -> 10%
    • “Damage Link”: damage 150 -> 250
    • “Armor Wrecking”: effect -40 -> -50
    • “Bash”: chance 3% -> 5% for Shooters; duration 1 sec -> 1,5 sec for other classes
    • “Spiky Armor”: 30% and 50% -> 40% and 60%

Hey there, you puny creative humans!


[h3]ːdespotː"DESPOT'S ART CLASS"ːdespotː Fan Art Contest is over and we are ready to announce the winner![/h3]

First of all, we would like to thank all the participants for submitting their beautiful creations. d'Spot was really touched, getting uncharacteristically sentimental about human handiwork. A brief moment of weakness.

[h3]The Winner of the "The Advance Art Exhibition" Community Creation Contest is a player from South Korea that goes by the nickname of "cn". Now let's take a look at their work:[/h3]



Congratulations, cn. You did a really, really good job for a puny human. The prize—the branded Despot's Game cap—will be sent to you shortly. It may take some time for it to arrive though—human mail can be slow sometimes, you know. Anyway, we will get in touch with you to find out your physical address.
