Desktop Raid Your Squad Fights While You Work

A pixel-art idle RPG where a colorful little team battles, levels up and gathers loot on its own, so progress waits for you whenever you glance over.

Is Desktop Raid worth it?

Desktop Raid is worth it if…

  • you want RPG progress ticking along on a second monitor while you work or study
  • you love sorting loot, chasing set effects and tweaking builds more than fast reflexes
  • you have a soft spot for retro pixel art and classic side-scrolling battles
  • you would rather check in on your heroes than grind maps by hand

An adventure that runs itself

Set the game in a corner of your desktop and your heroes get to work: they battle monsters, collect treasure and push into new dungeons on their own, whether you are working, studying or slacking off. No manual control is needed, and interruptions are no problem, since the combat is fully automated. The point is to skip the usual RPG chores of repetitive map runs, mob grinding and skill clicking. Open the window whenever you like, harvest the loot that piled up, power up your squad and advance to the next dungeon. It is a leveling loop designed to run in the background and reward you the moment you glance over.

Classes and builds to tinker with

Over a dozen branching classes shape your squad, from Warrior and Mage to Assassin, Summoner, Tomb Keeper and Alchemist, each with its own talents and growth path. The skill pool is large, so lineups can go many ways: a team built to clear the screen with area damage, or a slower tactical squad mixing summons, crowd control and damage over time. Battles play out side-scrolling in an auto-chess format, fully automated but shaped entirely by your setup. Frontline tanks, backline damage dealers, main and sub-DPS synergy: a weaker team can pull off an upset if you deploy it well.

The loot loop

Gear drops constantly while your heroes fight, with random affixes and set effects layered on top. Slay, loot, enhance, repeat: the game leans into that satisfying dungeon-crawl rhythm, with stats ticking upward and better equipment appearing whether you are watching or not. Chasing a perfect god-tier roll is the long game, and you can do it entirely while idling. The retro pixel art and side-scrolling battles give it the feel of a classic RPG, just one that plays itself in the corner of your screen.
