1.11.0
In this season we're fully reworking Director's Cut. The biggest feature is that your humans will be resurrected after each fight (only at half health, though). You lose if your entire team gets wiped in a fight. The price of making a mistake is very high, and completing Director's Cut takes a strong knowledge of the game systems and a truly powerful build.
We need your reviews! There's a link to our survey about the new Director's Cut mode on our official Discord server.
1.8.1
7 new mutations, new enemies in Director's Cut, updates to the starting team, and a thorough overhaul of class balance
You can find more information on this patch, including all the hard numbers, on our Discord server - Despot's Game: Dystopian Army Builder
1.7.5
A minor update with some small fixes for PvP and Director's Cut
1.7.4
The biggest change is that we added a stats screen in a new tab of the window that appears when you finish a run. This way it'll be even clearer just how pathetic your attempt was!
But that's not all!
We reworked Hard Mode and renamed it Director's Cut Mode. We figured this would be a kind of ultimate version of Despot's Game for PvE players who have no interest in King of the Hill, but want more roguelike content and challenges.
1.6.6
[1.6.4]
In this update we just focused on making some small tweaks, improving mechanics, and implementing balance changes. But the next one's gonna be a doozy, so keep an eye on our Discord channel for more details!
We reworked Bloodletting: mutations that affect healing when combined with Bloodletting now maim. We also increased the EXP received in Sprint, reworked Normal and Hard modes, and, made balance changes, of course!
[1.6.6]
Fixes a number of bugs with Healers
1.6.3
- In all game modes except Brawl and Sprint, we increased the spread between the minimum and maximum possible numbers of rooms on a floor
- In Brawl there are now 3 rooms instead of 4 (except the first floor). We increased the number of rolls you get at altars and buffed the bonus from Wide Selection in the Mutation Tree
- In Sprint you now get slightly fewer tokens, but there are more altars. Additionally, Wide Selection now gives more random rolls at lower mutation levels

1.6.1
NEW GAME MODE: SPRINT!
Sprint is a shortened version of d'Spot's dungeon that lets you get to King of the Hill faster. To unlock this game mode, you'll have to beat the game at least once
We're also still experimenting with the food mechanic, so the new mode has both Food and No Food versions
For those of you who aren't into PvP, we adjusted Hard mode a little: monster abilities are now stronger, which means you'll need to field a more balanced team, not just a stronger one

1.5.0
New Mode: No Food
That's right, your units won't need to eat. But the cost of newbies now depends on the size of your squad: the bigger it gets, the more expensive newbies will be.
You'll still see Sacrificial Pits, but they'll just be for fun now.
And yes, this mode works with multiplayer King of the Hill. But it's primarily for anyone who gets annoyed with the food mechanic.
We'd love for you to visit our Discord server (the icon is in the main menu) and share your thoughts with us.
