Acheter DESKTOPIA: End of the Road PC Key

Grow your town along a massive 122,880-pixel road in this free expansion to Desktopia, breaking from level-based play with a sprawling new mode. Battle lizard overlords in a corrupted village, obliterate twelve strongholds guarded by unique bosses and troops, and tackle fresh enemies on ruined road sections that block construction. All three groves appear together, letting you erect up to 195 buildings to forge a thriving metropolis. Base game upgrades enhance the strategy RPG simulation with autosave options, character leveling for bonus strength, a personal stats menu, refined soldier and hero controls, new troops, heroes, and buildings, plus smarter AI for seamless large-map performance. Redundant buildings gain fresh purpose amid smoother gameplay. Fans of expansive indie city-builders with combat challenges will relish conquering this road to the end.

‘End of the Road’ is a FREE DLC (yes you read that right) which offers a new game mode separate from the existing level-based system. It is designed with a host of new features, and with an absolutely massive map along which you can now grow a truly bustling metropolis.

WHY A FREE DLC?

Instead of a direct update? Well, for a few reasons and not least because updating to this DLC will invalidate your current saves. This is because we’ve had to completely rewrite the eventing system to handle such a massive map. On the plus side, this will make the base game more stable once you’ve updated.

We’ve also done some pretty drastic restructuring of the base game, and having this update as a DLC will mean that if you don’t like the changes you can roll back easily by uninstalling the DLC.

WHY THIS DLC?

Originally we were working on a separate update, ‘Tyranny’, but our artist (part of our very small 3-person team) has had to step down due to a long-term medical condition, so we pivoted to ‘End of the Road,’

Interestingly, when we first sketched out the idea of Desktopia, we envisioned a single, massive road, along which the town would grow to completion. This turned out to be unworkable, due to limitations in our engine… limitations which we have since overcome. Although EotR is not true to that original vision it does offer a glimpse of what might have been.
