Desktop Defender is an idle auto-battler designed to run passively in a corner window while you work or play other games. Your units fight automatically without requiring active input, letting you accumulate progress and resources across sessions. It's ideal for players who want strategic depth without the time commitment of traditional games.

This game is very fun but there seems to be a watermark telling me to activate windows maybe graphical bug?
Thanks to Desktop Defender I was able to finally play and work at the same time. Unfortunately, my boss didn't like that, so now I just play full time. Still fun!
