Learn the loop →Six Deskrawl systems that feed the same build
Four classes
Warrior, Sorcerer, Monk, and Hunter each use different attacks, talents, gear priorities, and class-specific runes.
Captured minions
Enemies and bosses can become helpers. They pull the loot carriage and provide passive bonuses or combat abilities.
Loot & runes
The build loop combines equipment affixes, legendary effects, rune sets, active abilities, talents, and later Paragon choices.
Town growth
Resources develop the town and unlock NPCs or services that expand how you store, trade, and improve a hero.
Online trading
Eligible equipment, materials, and minions can be traded through the Steam Market when playing an eligible online character.
Mythic Realms
Timed trials and rising difficulty tiers form the official endgame loop, with stronger rewards deeper in the climb.
Quick answers
Deskrawl FAQ
What is Deskrawl: Idle ARPG?+
Deskrawl is a Windows idle action RPG that runs along the bottom of the desktop. You automate combat and loot collection, tune four hero classes, capture enemies as minions, grow towns, and push endgame Mythic Realms.
How many classes are in Deskrawl?+
The launch build has four classes: Warrior, Sorcerer, Monk, and Hunter. Patch 1.0.0h significantly buffed Hunter and adjusted Monk, so old launch-day tier lists need version context.
Can Deskrawl be played offline?+
The game offers Singleplayer and an Online Mode. Online trading requires your own Steam copy as of patch 1.0.0h; Family Sharing, Free Weekend, and PC café licenses can still use Singleplayer.
How large is the campaign?+
First Day Games lists three main towns, ten regions, and eighty map nodes. Mythic Realms add timed trials and escalating difficulty after the core progression loop.
