Despot's Game: Dystopian Battle Simulator - George Kulko
UPDATE 1.5

• New Mode: "No Food" 🍔❌ •

That's right: in this brand new game mode, your units don't need to eat. But the cost of newbies now depends on how big your squad is: the bigger it gets, the more expensive they'll be. You'll still see Sacrificial Pits, but they'll just be for fun now. The fun will end for you if accidentally click on one, so tell your puny humans to watch their step.



And yes, this mode works with multiplayer King of the Hill. But it's primarily for anyone who gets annoyed with the food mechanic. Give the game a try without it, and we'll see how it goes. We'd love for you to visit our Discord server and share your thoughts on the new mode with us. Or you can just come post memes in the off-topic channel.


• Balance changes •
  • Increased cooldown for "Impulse" of Eggheads' towers (Tier 5 Eggheads class ability): 7 ⇒ 9s;
  • Increased chance of an ability "Normal Punch" of level 5 Fighter: 5% ⇒ 10%!
  • Damage and Health bonus are slightly increased for all the Tricksters' items.
Changes to random mutations:

  • "Thick Skin": Armor 30 ⇒ 50;

Despot's Game: Dystopian Battle Simulator - George Kulko
Well, hello there.

We recently added a ranking system to Brawl, and now it's time to tweak a few numbers. So we shook the Mutation Tree a little, fixed some puny humans' abilities, and nerfed a couple of random mutations.

UPDATE 1.4.6

• Balance Changes •

Mutation Tree changes (Brawl):
  • Levels 1 and 2 of Wide Selection have had their costs lowered: 10; 15 -> 5; 10;
  • Armor Bonus cost lowered: 30 -> 20. This mutation now gives more armor at level 1: 10; 20; 40; 80 -> 20; 40; 80 (there are fewer levels now);
  • Health Bonus now gives more health at levels 1 and 2: 40; 100; -> 60; 120;
  • Level 1 of Health Multiplier has had its cost lowered: 30 -> 20, and the effect is a little weaker: 50 -> 40. But it's easier to reach Magic Defense Bonus now!
  • Added the main game mode's attack speed mutation to Brawl.
Changes to class abilities and the recently-added tier 4 item abilities:
  • Increased the cooldown of Taunt for Tanks: 20 seconds -> 30 seconds;
  • Buffed the effect of Demoralizing Blow (the special ability of tier 4 Tank weapon, Panzer-Poo): 30% -> 50%;
  • The Force (the special ability of tier 4 Fencer weapon, Laser Sword): enemy projectiles now should have a higher chance of being deflected: 20% -> 30%;
  • The chance for Shock Therapy (the special ability of tier 4 Healer weapon, Defibrillator) to trigger has been increased: 20% -> 30%;
  • Build a Turret (the special ability of tier 4 Egghead weapon, Turret) damage increased: 45 -> 65;
  • Bonus from Final (uni)Form (the special ability of tier 4 Mage weapon, Sailor Fuku) increased: 50% -> 70%.
Changes to random mutations and the Mutation Tree:
  • Slightly nerfed Fast Reload in the standard mutations tree: 20; 30; 45; 60 -> 15; 30; 40; 50;
  • Summon Zombie now requires more mana: 10 -> 45;
  • Final Gift is less generous – health bonus reduced (only in Brawl): 200 -> 100;
  • Sticky Blood is a little less sticky now: -40% -> -30%;
  • Despiritualization now burns less mana: 70 -> 40;
  • Radius of No Touching significantly reduced: 56 -> 25;
  • Panic in Brawl now only drops starting on floor 9.



King of the Hill Season 8 Results

1.🥇Dragon Lectrice
2.🥈Pragma

Despot's Game: Dystopian Battle Simulator - GrayCardinal90
  • Fixes Shooter tier4 skill not working with Rubber Bullets and Penetrating Shots
  • Fixes Hypochondria not being removed from a unit sometimes
  • Adds a visual effect for tier4 Fencer skill
  • Restores missing tier5 Mage animation
  • (Almost) fixes the Rain of Bullets tooltip missing some info and showing wrong damage

    Patch 1.4.3 had a serious bug, we had to revert. To those who got that update, sorry for the inconvenience.
Despot's Game: Dystopian Battle Simulator - George Kulko


Hello, puny humans!


"When it comes to numbers, you really like to brag about them for whatever reason. And I, the Despot, really like to watch you fight each other to the death over those numbers! That's why I added another leaderboard to the game—to keep track of the aforementioned numbers in the 'Brawl' mode. Besides that, there's fresh content you've been begging me to give to you!"

• UPDATE 1.4 •

• Unique Tier 4 Weapon Abilities •

  1. Tank: “Demoralizing Blow”. During an attack, gives a Tank chance to deal damage to a specific area and reduce an enemy's attack;
  2. Fencer: “The Force”. Gives a Fencer a chance to deflect an enemy's attack. Applies only to ranged attacks;
  3. Trickster: “Pain Lover”. A Trickster receives a damage bonus each time they take damage (Max.: 100%);
  4. Fighter: “Black Swan”. If a Fighter's health is at 50% or lower when they receive damage, they summon a Black Swan: a decoy clone of themselves with lesser attack and weaker damage resistance. A maximum of one Black Swan can be summoned during a battle;
  5. Healer: “Shock Therapy”. When healing teammates, a Healer receives a 20% chance to deal damage equal to the healing value to enemies within the range of the healing target;
  6. Thrower: “Fish Slap”. Each third time the Throwers' class ability is triggered, poisons enemies with the explosion;
  7. Shooter: “Railgun”. Each fifth attack deals additional magical damage;
  8. Cultists: “Tiny Tentacle”. When a tentacle is summoned, spawns an additional tiny tentacle;
  9. Mage: "Final (uni)Form". After several active abilities are triggered in a battle, a Mage takes the "Final Form" and receives stat bonuses;
  10. Egghead: “Build A Turret”. Places a sentry turret.


• 'Brawl' Mode Leaderboard •

As promised, we've added a rating system to 'Brawl.' It has a difference or two from the 'King of the Hill' one, though. Here's how it works:
  • Your rating determines the league you are sent to. The league, in turn, determines how many points you gain or lose depending on the number of wins in your run.
  • The higher the league, the more PvP wins you need to go up and not down in the rankings.
  • If you hadn't finished your run (hadn't spent all three lives) and then started a new game, overwriting your older save, your rating will change: the number of wins from your previous run will be counted. For example, if you had started a 'Brawl' run and then decided to start anew without ever finishing it, you risk losing your rating since a start with zero wins is what's going to be counted.
  • Unlike 'King of the Hill', there is no regular change of seasons on the 'Brawl' leaderboard. Perhaps the day will come when we decide to reset the leaderboard and start rewarding leaders. However, there are no plans to do that so far.
• Other changes •
  • Mutation altars now show what mutations are available at the current level;
  • Random mutations now can be unlocked by defeating other players' armies in the 'Brawl' mode;
  • Items found using the "Newbie's Luck" mutation can now be sold in the store for 12.5% of their cost;
  • The "Hypochondria" mutation now gives puny humans a universal dodge ability (a chance to avoid taking damage from enemy attacks/abilities) for the duration of the mutation;
  • Changed icons for some statuses that had previously had a generic icon.
• Balance changes •
  • “Newbie's Luck”: the chance to find an item: 1 -> 3%. Both Tier 1 and Tier 2 items can be found;
  • “Topochlorians”: damage bonus at latter levels: 570; 700% -> 550; 650%.
