Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Stable operation and reliable service are our top priorities for DPS. We are launching in Early Access to communicate directly with players before the full release, refining content and ensuring the game's stability.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Early Access to last approximately 2 months. However, the period may vary somewhat depending on the game's stabilization progress and player feedback.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“During Early Access, we plan to focus on improving content quality and game stability based on player feedback. The full version will be a more stable and polished version that reflects these improvements. We will also continue to prepare additional content while listening to the community.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“All core content is ready, and the game can be played from start to finish without issues. Item trading via the Steam Community Market is also available. During Early Access, we will focus on improving stability and refining content.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price will not change. DPS is a free game and will remain free to play after Early Access ends. The base game is not sold; only separate DLC purchases are offered.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We will run an official Discord server to communicate directly with players. We will comprehensively review feedback from various channels — including Discord, the Steam Community, and store reviews — and reflect it in game improvements and content direction.”

About This Game

[Desktop Pension Squad — The Legends Are Back (Sort Of)]

A former lord of the labyrinth. A one-armed markswoman. A timid lich with a staff that eats everything. A jester who takes heads with a smile. And a reaper who protects monsters instead of collecting them. Past their prime, retired, half-ready — and not one of them thinks it's over. These washed-up monsters are your squad. Get the old-timers back on their feet, push back the humans pouring in, and take back the glory days they were robbed of.

[You don't press buttons. You build triggers.]

No inputs mid-fight.

Every skill fires on its own condition — on your third attack, the moment an enemy drops, when a Mark lands on the target.

Eight skills per character. What you equip and which triggers you chain together — that's your squad's real firepower. A well-built squad proves itself on the field.

[BATTLE START]

1. A Desktop Idle RPG

Your very own squad, fighting it out in the corner of your desktop while you pretend to work. Dead simple controls — just click and go.

2. Monsters With Personality

Legends back in the day. Kind of a mess now. Every old-timer has a story, and they're all convinced they've still got it. (They might!)

3. Loot, Loot, Loot

Every human you knock down drops something. What legendary piece is dropping today? Only one way to find out.

4. Trade on the Steam Community Market

Everything you find is tradable on the Steam Community Market. That lucky drop? Actually worth something.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Generative AI tools were used in a supporting role for parts of our art, sound, and translation work. For art assets in particular, we avoid using AI-generated output as-is; AI serves mainly as a starting point and reference, and much of the final artwork is reworked and finalized by our team.
