Resumen de la comunidad
Texto original · InglésA pixel-art roguelite auto-battler by Konfa Games (tinyBuild) where you recruit and equip an army of up to 49 puny humans, march through procedural dungeons managing food and shops, then test your build against other players' teams asynchronously.
Texto original · InglésPlayers rate it Very Positive on Steam (about 84% of roughly 3,360 reviews), and critics are lukewarm-positive (Metacritic 73 from only 4 reviews, OpenCritic 73 with 55% recommending). The core loop of drafting weird synergies, min-maxing and watching tiny units fight is widely called addictive and charming. The recurring complaint is that it is shallow and short: once you have won a run there is little reason to continue beyond PvP leaderboards and mutation grinding. Many reviewers say it is worth buying only on sale. It launched in Early Access in 2021 and went to 1.0 on Sept 29, 2022 on PC and consoles; it still receives player discussion and some seasonal content as of late 2026, but this is a finished game, not abandoned.
Lo que elogian los jugadores
- Texto original · InglésGorgeous, detailed pixel art and weapon animations, plus a well-liked soundtrack
- Texto original · InglésAddictive core loop: drafting classes and weapon synergies and trying a different build after each failed run
- Texto original · InglésAsynchronous PvP (fighting ghosts of other players' builds, leaderboards, King of the Hill/Brawl modes) is the most-loved part for many
- Texto original · InglésDark, cheerful-cruelty humor and pop-culture references in the writing and unit designs
- Texto original · InglésAccessible and streamlined: easy to pick up, hands-off battles are quick to read, runs are short
- Texto original · InglésProgression unlocks give new options rather than raw power, so you can still lose to your own bad decisions
- Texto original · InglésFood-meter mechanic stops aimless wandering and limits army size in an interesting way
- Texto original · InglésGood value when bought on sale; several reviewers say they got their money's worth (e.g. 41 hours in)
Lo que critican los jugadores
- Texto original · InglésLittle replayability after the first victory; many players feel the game ends too early and call it a long demo
- Texto original · InglésShallow strategic depth and one-note items/classes; PvE gets boring quickly
- Texto original · InglésPvP is dominated by a few meta builds and RNG rolls, and PvP balance concerns spill into PvE
- Texto original · InglésLevels and biomes feel samey; minimap icons and some rules (magic damage) are confusing
- Texto original · InglésHeavy RNG and sudden difficulty spikes in later floors, including shop availability that can leave you unable to refill ranks
- Texto original · InglésMutation/achievement completion becomes a grind
- Texto original · InglésBugs reported in places (loading-circle bug in Brawl runs, mantrap enemies seen as unfairly tanky)
- Texto original · InglésMany reviewers will not recommend it at the $19.99 full price: 'wait for a sale', and one calls it a very long demo
Características distintivas
- Texto original · InglésRoguelike dungeon crawl combined with auto-battler army building at up to 49 units, rather than a small party
- Texto original · InglésFood meter as a run-length and army-size constraint
- Texto original · InglésAsynchronous PvP where your winning run becomes a ghost team for others, with a leaderboard
- Texto original · InglésClass synergy by equipping a number of unique items from the same class, unlocking powerful abilities
- Texto original · InglésPart of the Despot universe (Despotism 3k, Slime 3K) with a shared puny-humans pixel-art style and dystopian dark comedy
Opiniones divididas
- Texto original · InglésValue: many call it great on sale and a ripoff at full price
- Texto original · InglésHands-off auto-battle: some love the streamlined fights, others want more control or interaction
- Texto original · InglésPvP emphasis: loved as the endgame by some, called pointless (bragging rights only) or meta-driven by others
- Texto original · InglésRoguelike vs roguelite identity: some wish it were more of a roguelite with persistent progression
Repetición y obstáculos
- Texto original · InglésGrinding all mutations and achievements (one 79-hour reviewer enjoyed the first 20-30 hours, then found it a slog)
- Texto original · InglésReplaying runs until RNG hands you the meta build for PvP
- Texto original · InglésEarly PvE repeated across runs feels brain-dead or easy once solved
- Texto original · InglésHands-off combat leaves some players feeling it is fun to watch rather than play
- Texto original · InglésLate-floor traps/bosses such as mantraps and repeated first-biome bosses that can wipe high-XP units
Mejoras esperadas
- Texto original · InglésMore content and variety in biomes, enemies, classes and items to extend replay value after the first win
- Texto original · InglésBetter PvP balance and anti-meta measures so non-meta builds can compete
- Texto original · InglésFairer, more reliable shop/market access so runs are less RNG-gated
- Texto original · InglésClearer tutorialisation and UI (mutation reminders, minimap icons, magic damage explanation)
- Texto original · InglésMake it more of a true roguelite with lasting meta-progression rather than a one-win-then-PvP structure
- Texto original · InglésBigger, more explosive death feedback so losses register (early reviewer suggestion)
Texto original · InglésLaunched in Early Access in 2021 (reviewers then already found it essentially complete) and released 1.0 on Sept 29, 2022 on PC, PS4/5, Xbox and Switch. Critics praised art, writing and gameplay loop but noted difficulty pacing and randomness; Switch controls were called lackluster versus PC. Metacritic has very few reviews (4 critics, 13 users), so scores are low-confidence. Steam rating stays Very Positive years later. One angry reviewer wants developer attention on Slime 3K instead of seasonal updates (single review, not a trend). OpenCritic lists 11 critic reviews. tinyBuild acquired Konfa during development. The Steam page also lists a Challenges DLC which was excluded here.

Texto original · InglésTier list Part 2 (2024)
Texto original · InglésDespot's Game is a funny, casual auto-battler where you assemble a small army, press play, and watch the fight unfold. He finds it satisfying and charming, with a great vibe, but shallow and repetitive. Class and character variety is much smaller than it first appears, and you have no control once a battle starts. He got bored after six or seven hours and places it in middle B.
Lo que elogia el creador
- Texto original · InglésSatisfying auto-battler loop of preparing a team and watching the chaos play out
- Texto original · InglésFunny, unserious tone with lots of humor
- Texto original · InglésCute art style
- Texto original · InglésPassive effects are plentiful and impactful
- Texto original · InglésEnemy/ally AI is pretty good despite many triggering abilities
- Texto original · InglésGreat overall vibe that makes it fun to watch
Problemas señalados por el creador
- Texto original · InglésFar fewer classes and characters than first expected (about five per class, fixed abilities)
- Texto original · InglésYou collect all the classes and characters you want by roughly mid-run, so there are no rare build-defining finds
- Texto original · InglésPassives make you stronger but do not change how you play; unit placement stays about the same
- Texto original · InglésNo interaction during battles, which feels frustrating with so many abilities
- Texto original · InglésStrategy stays shallow; builds like fighter just mean collecting fighters and their passives
- Texto original · InglésGets repetitive and he grew bored after six to seven hours
Observaciones de diseño
- Texto original · InglésPure watch-and-see auto-battler format where all decisions happen before the fight
- Texto original · InglésFixed-ability characters (e.g. the fridge guy) tied to classes instead of customizable units
- Texto original · InglésHumor and vibe carry a mechanically minimal game
