Press release:
SEATTLE — March 15, 2023.
The Seattle-based (the US) indie games publisher tinyBuild and Russia-based indie games developer Konfa Games, are today very happy and proud to announce that their rogue-lite battler “Slime 3K: Rise Against Despot“, is coming to PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch) in 2023.

In an attempt to mass produce artificial pink humans, evil artificial intelligence d’Spot’s gooey formula accidentally mutates, becoming self-aware. Bubble, bubble toil and trouble, the now-intelligent slime jelly sets off on an indiscriminate warpath. Its grotesque form and insatiable appetite make the oozing entity a force to be reckoned with.

Navigate through a familiar post-apocalyptic labyrinth as a gelatinous death machine, encountering a variety of challenges and obstacles. The tables have turned: battle previously led bare-bottom soldiers with spliced DNA and unique abilities as well as d’Spot’s original cast of cyborgs, demons, and other unholy abominations. Make calculated decisions, stacking the right abilities and equipment to craft the perfect synergistic build.

Collect many interactive objects along the way, including sewer grates for quick movement, anomaly traps to prep humans for consumption, and Tesla amplifiers granting electric abilities. Constantly unlock new content between sessions and experiment with different playstyles to find alternative paths to victory.

Sludge through a visually striking, distinctive world blending a retro pixel aesthetic with futuristic elements. Wrench havoc in a sleek, polished setting featuring clean lines and a muted color palette emphasizing the bleakness of the world under dSpot’s rule.

Grimace at the slimy sound effects while bopping the slime’s head(??) to an electronic soundtrack that adds to the game’s futuristic tone. Gear up and get ready to take on d’Spot and his minions in this epic battle.

“Slime 3K is the next chapter in the Despotism universe, but with a brand new twist,” said Nikolay Kuznetsov, Game Creator, Konfa Games.

“We wanted to add an alternative way to explore the world of d’Spot while implementing both new and familiar mechanics to reinvigorate a chaotically compelling gameplay experience.”

Slime 3K: Rise Against Despot comes to Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5|4, and PC via Steam later in 2023. It will support English, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain), Japanese, Korean, and Traditional and Simplified Chinese languages.
