I love this game

I love all the characters, designs and it really creative

希望大家都能花十個小時體驗

史詩級的遊戲，史詩級的難度。
遊戲很大部分重點在後期和其他玩家對戰，前面12層高難度的地牢只是新手村罷了，因此大部分玩家很難到跟其他玩家比賽的快樂，我覺得很可惜。

Spaß ohne Ende!

Lasst euch von den negativen Rezensionen nicht abschrecken. Beinahe alle führen ausschließlich auf den zu hohen Preis von über 20€ zurück. Mittlerweile kostet das Game bei weitem nicht mehr so viel und ist jeden Cent wert! Eine Mischung aus Auto-Battler, Slay the Spire und Isaac. Das Spiel hat mehrere Meta-Ebenen und Taktik ohne Ende. Probiert den Anfang kostenlos aus und unterstützt das Studio. Sie sind dafür bekannt, bei genug Support, ihre Games zu erweitern und lange am Leben zu halten.

A fun game with a slight issue

The game is Honeslty really fun, the only problem I face is the screen size, it causes an uncomfortable eye strain with prolonged focus.

This game is different

For one, this is the only game that feels like a true successor (and evolution) of one of my favorite games, Dragon Force for Sega Saturn. The strategy is deep. Learning other players’ strategies in PvP is super interesting and fun. The aesthetics and sense of humor go a long way. Good job, dev(s).

What kind of game is Despot's Game?

Despot's Game is a roguelike (or roguelite) strategy game where you build and guide a dystopian army. The core gameplay involves making strategic choices about items and mutations for your units, who then fight automatically. It emphasizes strategy and luck over direct control.

How does combat work in Despot's Game?

Combat in Despot's Game is automatic. You do not directly control your units during battles. Instead, your role is to prepare them beforehand by equipping them with items and giving them mutations. The outcome of the battles relies on your strategic preparation and the game's random number generator (RNG).

Is Despot's Game free to play?

The game is available for free, offering 4 levels and 10 daily attempts in Brawl mode. To unlock the full game experience, a one-time payment is required within the app.

What devices are supported by Despot's Game?

The game is supported on iPhone 8 Plus, Apple iPad Pro 12.9 (2015) and newer devices. iPod Touches are not supported.

What happens when my army dies?

If your army is defeated, it's game over. This is a core roguelike mechanic, meaning you have to start the entire game over from the beginning. The world will also be generated again from scratch, offering a fresh challenge each time.
