King of the Hill Season 34 Results

WINNERS:

Hurry up, you puny humans: the old price is coming back on December 4th.

KING OF THE HILL: SEASON 34

• Seasonal Mutation: "Season of Underdogs" •

Reworked "Director's Cut" mode

The "Season of Synergy" has ended! The changes from it are reverted.

Welcome to Season 34 – "Season of Underdogs".

🎬 The main feature of the season is the reworked "Director's Cut" mode. We've completely revamped the level balance and re-evaluated the core fundamentals of Despot's Game in this mode: Units cannot be lost in battle—fallen puny humans are resurrected after the fight. The only way to lose is to have your entire team obliterated in a single battle.

The fact your punies can't die doesn't mean this mode has become easy, lol. We believe this is the hardest mode in Despot's Game. There's no PvP, and it’s designed for players who felt the game lacked hardcore PvE content.

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. 👇

Share Your Feedback on the "Director's Cut" mode

Seasonal Mutation: 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.
