About This Game

You work. Your army fights.

Darkest Desktop is an idle RPG and auto-battler that lives in the corner of your desktop. Assemble a squad of three heroes, send them into battle, and get on with your day.

Leave the fighting to your heroes


Your heroes automatically battle monsters, earn experience, collect gold, and push toward the next boss while you work, study, or watch videos.

Step in when it matters


Cast the Warlord's spells, swap heroes, and change equipment to crush bosses and claim rare loot.

Ascend and return stronger


Has the enemy stopped your squad? Ascend, begin a new cycle with permanent bonuses, and push farther than ever before.

Build your army


Choose heroes with different abilities, experiment with your squad, and create your own builds. Equipment strengthens the Warlord and changes their appearance, while mounts open up even more ways to progress.
