Guide puny humans through Despot's Game - a rogue-like tactics army battler. Equip your team and sacrifice them through procedural dungeons as you fight enemies, and other players!
The core gameplay loop revolves around guiding a group of naked, amnesiac humans through a procedurally generated post-apocalyptic labyrinth. Players equip these hapless humans with a variety of weapons and abilities, transforming them into a powerful army.
Effectively managing resources is crucial to success. Players must carefully balance the party's size and spending to ensure they have enough food to move between rooms, while also earning tokens to purchase new units, equipment, and mutations.
One of the game's standout features is the depth of customization and tactical options. Each weapon grants a unique class and set of abilities, allowing players to create powerful synergies by combining complementary classes, such as Defenders to protect Melee units or Healers to support the frontline.
The procedurally generated dungeons ensure that each run feels unique. Players must adapt their strategy to the layout of each floor and the types of enemies encountered, as rooms may contain valuable loot, debuffs, or random events that can dramatically impact the course of a run.
The game features a roguelike structure, with permadeath being a constant threat. However, players can unlock new starting loadouts, mutations, and other persistent upgrades through repeated playthroughs, encouraging experimentation with different team compositions.
After completing the single-player campaign, players can enter the asynchronous PvP mode, where they face off against snapshots of other players' armies. This adds an additional layer of strategy, as players must devise effective builds capable of defeating a wide range of opponent compositions.
