KING OF THE HILL: SEASON 33

• Seasonal Mutation: "Season of Synergy" •

In Season 27, we introduced "Seasonal Mutations"—significant changes to Despot’s Game that alter the game's perception for one season. Seasons last, on average, 3-4 weeks, and when the season ends, these changes are reverted.

The "Season of Summoners" has ended! The changes from it were warmly received by the community, so they will remain in the game.
Welcome to Season 33 – "Season of Synergy".
In this season, puny humans of all classes unite! We are doubling the effects of all mutations that grant bonuses for having units from other classes on your team, such as Guard, Cult Leader, Guardian of the Order, and so on! Be sure to leave your feedback: under this post, on the Steam forums, or on our official Discord server.
