[h3]Welcome to Season 34 – [b]"Season of Underdogs"[/b].[/h3] 🎬 The main feature of the season is the [b]reworked "Director's Cut" mode[/b]. We've completely revamped the level balance and re-evaluated the core fundamentals of [i][b]Despot's Game[/b][/i] in this mode: [b]Units cannot be lost in battle[/b]—fallen puny humans are resurrected after the fight. The only way to lose is to [b]have your entire team obliterated in a single battle[/b]. The fact your punies can't die doesn't mean this mode has become easy, lol. We believe this is the hardest mode in [i][b]Despot's Game[/b][/i]. There's [b]no PvP[/b], and it’s designed for players who felt the game lacked hardcore [b]PvE content[/b]. Additionally, we've rebalanced many mutations and abilities in this mode and aimed to create the ultimate single-player rogue-lite adventure based on the mechanics of our game. Hail Despot! We've also prepared a pretty corporate-looking Google Forms survey—we’d love to hear your thoughts on the updated "Director's Cut." Please fill it out after playing—it will help us make the game better. 👇 [url=https://forms.gle/iB7aJzKvi2G1HfFv7 style=button]Share Your Feedback on the "Director's Cut" mode[/url] [b]Seasonal Mutation:[/b] This season, we’ve significantly buffed all Tier 3 items. You guys have often mentioned that these items didn’t stand out enough from Tier 2 items but were almost as expensive as powerful Tier 4 items. We've tried to increase one or two stats for each Tier 3 item, and we hope this will raise their value.[/quote] [h3][b]• Modes Balance •[/b][/h3] [list] [*] Curse of Restraint no longer appears in the Hunger Games mode.
