Desktop Defender · published
Hi everyone!
I'm so happy to announce that Desktop Defender's Critical Update is OUT NOW!
It has so much stuff and has improved the game in so many ways, I can't wait for you all to try it!
On top of that, Desktop Defender is currently 30% off because Steam has featured us as today's Daily Deal! If you haven't gotten the game already, now's the perfect time, and doubly so because we actually just released another game today as well!
Card Corner is our followup to Desktop Defender, and it's an idle poker game that sits in the corner of your screen while you do other things. Lots of the improvements that we brought to Desktop Defender in this update actually come from Card Corner's codebase, so if you like what you see I really recommend you give it a try!
You can even get it on discount if you already own Desktop Defender, so check out the bundle link for that below!
(P.S. You also get a free skin in Card Corner if you own Desktop Defender, and a free skin in Desktop Defender if you own Card Corner!)
Anyways, let's get to the patch notes, you can read them below!
The max level has increased from 150 -> 200, with each level having a new level bonus
When you reach level 200, each level grants you +1% damage
3 new loot slots added through level bonuses
Added the Multiplying Blast weapon
Added the Critical Blast weapon
Added critical hits, which have a chance of triggering and dealing more damage
Added the Crit Chance stat, which affects your likelihood of landing a critical hit
Added the Crit Multiplier stat, which affects how much damage your critical hits do
Added 5 new pieces of loot
Made it such that you can see your current stat value for any of the stats, making it easier to see how much your investments are affecting your build
Made it such that you can see how much any piece of loot affects the stats it changes when in your inventory, e.g. loot that affects damage will show you how much damage contribution it adds to your build
Made it such that you can see how much any piece of loot will change your stats when you pick it up
Loot no longer disappears from your inventory when you Rebirth. Instead, they will remain there inactive until you have enough loot slots again for them to be active
Added 3 new skins
Added 10 new achievements (in-game only)
Added a tip screen in the bottom right expandable menu, which explains many of the game's mechanics (e.g. the slightly complex way that % damage loot is calculated)
A few days ago I also made a post with pictures showing some more of the new features, so you can read that below if you want as well (though playing it is of course the best way to experience it)!
Also, as always, if you're enjoying the game, I would REALLY appreciate it if you reviewed it. It's the best thing you can do to support the game if you're enjoying it!
Thank you so much for reading my post, and make sure to update Desktop Defender, and get Card Corner!
