About the Game
Grind mobs, farm loot, and capture enemies to serve you. Deskrawl is an epic idle ARPG that plays at the bottom of your desktop. Farm legendary items and build overpowered heroes while you work or chill.
Desktop Idle ARPG
Idle farm legendary loot and push your power to broken extremes. Choose from a roster of heroes, each with their own playstyle, and mix gear, minions, and abilities until you reach a godlike build.
Own Minions
Enemies in Deskrawl can be captured, even Bosses! Your minions haul the loot cart so you never stop grinding, and they support you in combat too: some grant passive buffs, while others unleash special abilities.
Town Progression
Stockpile resources to grow your town from a quiet outpost into a thriving hub. Unlock new NPCs and services as you progress, each one opening up new ways to grow your power.
Trading
Trade valuable equipment, materials, and minions with other players on the Steam Market
Mythic Realms
Test your hero in ultimate challenges, timed trials, and escalating difficulty tiers that push you to the limit. The deeper you go, the better the rewards.
