Hi everyone!

It's been a bit over 2 weeks since the big Rebirth Update, and I'm excited to announce that we have 2 new updates coming VERY SOON to Desktop Defender!

But before I start explaining the updates, 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!

Desktop Defender Skin Update

The first update is called the Skin Update, and will come out around mid-late February. It adds a new skin system to change your defender's appearance, QOL changes and bug fixes, as well as a few new achievements.

The update will feature 14 skins, and you unlock them through completing more achievements. To coincide with the update, we've also added 5 more!

The achievements are not overly complex since this is a smaller update, but they set up the groundwork for the new update. Also, I wanted to show you all my new favourite skin, which is this lil' guy :)

Speaking of the new update after the Skin Update, it'll be a big one and it's called the Critical Update.

Critical Update

The Critical Update will release in March, and will feature:

  • 2 new upgradeable stats, critical hit chance and critical hit multiplier.

  • 2 new weapons that synergise with the new stats.

  • More loot.

  • New levels! You will be able to level up to level 200.

  • New QOL changes such as being able to see your stat values (e.g. damage per hit, fire rate, etc.)

  • New achievements for the new content.

I'm super excited to show you all what we've been working on, and I hope you all enjoy playing more Desktop Defender! The Critical Update will also release with a HUGE new announcement, but you'll have to wait until later this month to find out what it is ;)

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!

Desktop Defender Anyways, that's it for this post, and the next one will be for when the Skin Update is out for you all to play! Hope you enjoy!
