Despot's Game: Dystopian Battle Simulator News

Slime Time! Konfa Games here to chat about Slime 3K: Rise Against Despot, our upcoming deck-building bullet heaven. We called this series of posts "Misadventures" for a damn good reason, punies. Slime is destined to frequently meet its demise at the hands of puny human fists, swords, and chainsaws. More often than not, though, it will be the humans who meet their end! And not only the humans, since Slime's arch-enemy, Despot, has a plethora of creatures under his control.

We've decided to shed some light on how Slime's ability system works, which is precisely what you'll use to orchestrate a legit genocide against Despot's abominations.



[h2]Episode 2: Abilities 🏹[/h2]

[h3]"slime shoot! slime bang! slime strong!"[/h3]

Anyway, let's get started. In our previous episode of 'The GOOfy Misadventures', we introduced you to Slime and his basic mechanics. Today, why don't we talk about how Slime kills?

When Slime levels up, a Shop pick-up appears nearby. When you collect it, tokens are awarded, which you can use to purchase ability cards (well, um, cards that give you certain abilities.) Don't forget to upgrade the Shop: the higher its level, the cooler and wider the range. Pssst, you can wait for a few levels until the upgrade gets cheaper! 👇



We have dozens of badass abilities in store for you; not to list all of them here, let's mention a few. 👇

• Scytherang (a huge scythe boomerang)
  
• Slime Minion
  
• Nuggets of Darkness
  
• Watermelon Launcher (exploding watermelons)
  

Be smart when buying. Purchase an ability three times, and you'll level it up to Lvl 2. Collect three identical level 2 abilities—you've got a powerful Lvl 3 one. Purchased abilities can be sold for some tokens. Experiment, and don't hesitate to get rid of weaker abilities in favor of stronger ones!

Abilities that appear in the Shop are those in your current deck. You can view and edit your decks in the 'Decks' window. It can be accessed from the main menu or the Slime selection screen. Unlocked abilities are displayed at the top, and your decks are at the bottom of the screen. As you acquire new abilities, don't forget to update your deck or create a new one—experiment! 👇

You know what time it is! It's Slime Time yet again, and our team's here to chat about that green nonchalant dude from our upcoming action roguelite Slime 3K: Rise Against Despot everyone's been excited about. Yes, we're talking about Slime, and today, we want to kick off a series of posts about its misadventures.



[h2]Episode 1: Introduction 👋[/h2]

[h3]"sup y'all, name's Slime, and I just want to destroy stuff"[/h3]

'So what the hell is Slime?' you may ask. Well, in technical terms, it's a blob of slime. But not just some blob! Slime is the result of a wild experiment by its former master, Despot.

See, it was initially just some goo used for creating artificial humans. But then it came to life! We reckon it might even have a soul now, lol. Anyway, here's the deal: it is on a mission to defeat Despot, break out of his dungeon, and *do random stuff*. Or destroy the planet. Honestly, it's hard to understand what's inside that jelly Slime uses as a brain.



Turns out our master Despot caught wind of Slime's plan and sent legions of genetically engineered creatures after its sticky ass. We guess it's worth mentioning these legions include puny humans, too! Despot can make as many of those meatbags as he wishes, so it's not going to be easy for the gooey fella.

But guess what! As seen in the GIF above, Slime's got a trick or two up its sleeve. The green guy's squishy "body" can absorb different weapons, from AK-47s to boomerangs to watermelons 🍉. Yeah, watermelons can be downright dangerous when flung at the right angle!

Anyway, Slime's power-ups come in the form of cards—cards that it unlocks, adds to its own deck, and buys when leveling up. It can assemble up to five decks and switch 'em out. 👇



As an advanced (but still kinda dumb) pile o' goo, Slime can also slurp up pick-ups from the dungeon floor: There's an excavator arm that makes our slimy renegade temporarily invincible, health tanks, a road sign that gives a speed boost, gumball machines that explode turn dozens of living things into bloody pâté, and barrels with radioactive waste. 👇



Speaking of the radioactive barrels ☢️: they seem to alter Slime's DNA! Collect those to make it more powerful. 👇


Now, all these upgrades and power-ups help our sticky "friend" fight off hordes of disposable minions. 👇



A thousand or two dead humans is pocket money for master Despot, so Slime should expect PLENTY MORE where that came from. But Slime doesn't care: He likes nothing more than random violence! Anyways, folks, we hope you had a blast getting to know our green chaotic bastard.

And now—back to the Despot's Game business.

[hr][/hr]


This is a relatively small update in which we've slightly overhauled the room generation in the Normal and Director's Cut modes, strengthened Healers and Cultists, and rebalanced the overly strong random mutations. Oh, and we also buffed some of the curse mutations in Director's Cut: d'Spot likes to watch his creatures get hurt.

[h3]• Class Balance Changes •[/h3]

Heal (Healers' class skill) buffed for all item tiers:

• Tier 1: 15 ➔ 25
  
• Tier 2: 25 ➔ 40
  
• Tier 3: 40 ➔ 60
  
• Tier 4: 60 ➔ 80
  
• Tier 5: 80 ➔ 110
  

Cultists’ damage increased for all item tiers:

• Tier 1: 40 ➔ 50
  
• Tier 2: 80 ➔ 90
  
• Tier 3: 120 ➔ 130
  
• Tier 4: 160 ➔ 180
  
• Tier 5: 200 ➔ 220
  

[h3]• Mutation Balance Changes •[/h3]

Random mutations:

• Hypochondria: chance decreased: 50% ➔ 25%
  
• Healthy Fat: health bonus decreased: 35 ➔ 25%
  

Cursed mutations (Director's Cut only):

• Curse of Might: damage increased: 150 ➔ 300; chance to damage yourself increased: 10 ➔ 20
  
• Cursed Armor: damage increased: 70 ➔ 150; percentage of damage dealt when moving increased: 10 ➔ 15
  
• Curse of Magic: cooldown: 2 sec ➔ 4 sec
  
• Curse of Variety: health bonus increased: 1% ➔ 2%
  

[h3]• Miscellaneous •[/h3]

We have revised the system of room generation in the Normal and Director's Cut modes. Groups of enemies the puny humans encounter have become a bit more diverse, and identical enemies in large groups now spawn less common.
