Обсуждения игроков

Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийA 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.

Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийPlayers 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.

Что хвалят игроки

  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийGorgeous, detailed pixel art and weapon animations, plus a well-liked soundtrack
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийAddictive core loop: drafting classes and weapon synergies and trying a different build after each failed run
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийAsynchronous PvP (fighting ghosts of other players' builds, leaderboards, King of the Hill/Brawl modes) is the most-loved part for many
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийDark, cheerful-cruelty humor and pop-culture references in the writing and unit designs
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийAccessible and streamlined: easy to pick up, hands-off battles are quick to read, runs are short
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийProgression unlocks give new options rather than raw power, so you can still lose to your own bad decisions
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийFood-meter mechanic stops aimless wandering and limits army size in an interesting way
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийGood value when bought on sale; several reviewers say they got their money's worth (e.g. 41 hours in)

Что критикуют игроки

  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийLittle replayability after the first victory; many players feel the game ends too early and call it a long demo
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийShallow strategic depth and one-note items/classes; PvE gets boring quickly
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийPvP is dominated by a few meta builds and RNG rolls, and PvP balance concerns spill into PvE
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийLevels and biomes feel samey; minimap icons and some rules (magic damage) are confusing
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийHeavy RNG and sudden difficulty spikes in later floors, including shop availability that can leave you unable to refill ranks
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийMutation/achievement completion becomes a grind
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийBugs reported in places (loading-circle bug in Brawl runs, mantrap enemies seen as unfairly tanky)
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийMany reviewers will not recommend it at the $19.99 full price: 'wait for a sale', and one calls it a very long demo

Отличительные особенности

  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийRoguelike dungeon crawl combined with auto-battler army building at up to 49 units, rather than a small party
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийFood meter as a run-length and army-size constraint
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийAsynchronous PvP where your winning run becomes a ghost team for others, with a leaderboard
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийClass synergy by equipping a number of unique items from the same class, unlocking powerful abilities
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийPart of the Despot universe (Despotism 3k, Slime 3K) with a shared puny-humans pixel-art style and dystopian dark comedy

Спорные моменты

  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийValue: many call it great on sale and a ripoff at full price
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийHands-off auto-battle: some love the streamlined fights, others want more control or interaction
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийPvP emphasis: loved as the endgame by some, called pointless (bragging rights only) or meta-driven by others
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийRoguelike vs roguelite identity: some wish it were more of a roguelite with persistent progression

Повторы и неудобства

  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийGrinding all mutations and achievements (one 79-hour reviewer enjoyed the first 20-30 hours, then found it a slog)
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийReplaying runs until RNG hands you the meta build for PvP
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийEarly PvE repeated across runs feels brain-dead or easy once solved
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийHands-off combat leaves some players feeling it is fun to watch rather than play
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийLate-floor traps/bosses such as mantraps and repeated first-biome bosses that can wipe high-XP units

Ожидаемые улучшения

  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийMore content and variety in biomes, enemies, classes and items to extend replay value after the first win
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийBetter PvP balance and anti-meta measures so non-meta builds can compete
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийFairer, more reliable shop/market access so runs are less RNG-gated
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийClearer tutorialisation and UI (mutation reminders, minimap icons, magic damage explanation)
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийMake it more of a true roguelite with lasting meta-progression rather than a one-win-then-PvP structure
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийBigger, more explosive death feedback so losses register (early reviewer suggestion)

Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийLaunched 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.

Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийTier list Part 2 (2024)

Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийDespot'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.

Что хвалит автор

  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийSatisfying auto-battler loop of preparing a team and watching the chaos play out
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийFunny, unserious tone with lots of humor
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийCute art style
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийPassive effects are plentiful and impactful
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийEnemy/ally AI is pretty good despite many triggering abilities
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийGreat overall vibe that makes it fun to watch

Проблемы, отмеченные автором

  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийFar fewer classes and characters than first expected (about five per class, fixed abilities)
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийYou collect all the classes and characters you want by roughly mid-run, so there are no rare build-defining finds
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийPassives make you stronger but do not change how you play; unit placement stays about the same
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийNo interaction during battles, which feels frustrating with so many abilities
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийStrategy stays shallow; builds like fighter just mean collecting fighters and their passives
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийGets repetitive and he grew bored after six to seven hours

Наблюдения о дизайне

  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийPure watch-and-see auto-battler format where all decisions happen before the fight
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийFixed-ability characters (e.g. the fridge guy) tied to classes instead of customizable units
  • Оригинальный текст · АнглийскийHumor and vibe carry a mechanically minimal game
