Despot's Game: Dystopian Battle Simulator News

[h2]• Seasonal Mutation: "Season of Metamorphoses" •[/h2]

In Season 27, we introduced "Seasonal Mutations"—significant changes to Despot’s Game that alter the game's perception for one season. Seasons last, on average, 3-4 weeks, and when the season ends, these changes are reverted.

"Season of the Meganewbie" has ended! Meganewbie has forgotten his new abilities, and has become slightly weaker — its behavior and characteristics have reverted to the stats from Season 28.

In this season, we are making significant changes to the mutation tree! The usual build order has changed, and the values of some important mutations have been altered. For example, More Altars and Attack Bonus can now be obtained earlier. On the other hand, you'll now need to level up a bit more to acquire Tolerance.

"Season of Newbies" has ended! Now Newbies cost as usual again; their price no longer increases in modes with food.



[h3]Welcome to Season 29—"Season of the Meganewbie".[/h3]

The Meganewbie is now stronger! Its health and damage have increased, and it has acquired a number of useful abilities:

[h3]• Game Mode Balances •[/h3]

• The "Normal" mode has been made more challenging: more enemies will now appear in rooms on all floors, and the economy of the mode has become slightly less generous. This change is mainly aimed at new players – last year, we significantly simplified "Normal" when we released the "Director's Cut" version. We started receiving more complaints that the game was too easy. The challenge is back!
