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

Even while you're busy working or studying, your monsters' adventure never stops.

Build your own squad, combine skills and equipment, and reclaim the Dungeon Cores stolen by humans!

Keep the game running in the corner of your screen while you work, study, or watch videos.

Your monster squad will automatically battle humans and collect chests.

Need more screen space? Simply minimize the game into Icon Mode.

Enjoy this free-to-play desktop idle RPG and add a little adventure to your everyday routine!

On every third attack, when an enemy is defeated, or when a target is marked.

Each skill activates automatically when its specific conditions are met.

Choose which of each character's 8 unique skills to equip and experiment with different combinations.

The skills you pair together can completely change how your squad fights!

Your monsters keep fighting and collecting chests even while you're focused on other things.

Open chests to discover new equipment and make your monster squad even stronger.

Condense unwanted equipment and use the materials you've gathered to craft new gear.

Who knows? Your next chest might contain that legendary piece of equipment you've been waiting for!

Equipment of Legendary rarity or higher can be transferred to your Steam Inventory.

Trade the equipment you've earned with other players through the Steam Community Market!

Humans have stolen nearly every Dungeon Core, leaving only one remaining.

While the legion fights to protect the last Core, a band of monsters deemed unworthy of joining its ranks sets out to reclaim those that were lost.

A former Labyrinth Lord and a one-armed sharpshooter.

A cowardly lich and a staff with an insatiable appetite.

A sorrowful jester and a Grim Reaper who protects fellow monsters.

Gather these unlikely heroes, each with their own story to tell, and form your own expedition squad.

From medieval knights to the armies of a desert pharaoh, new human forces stand in your way with every chapter.

Join the Monsters on Their Twilight Expedition!

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.
