Summary

Village of Despair was the event map for the Christmas 2019 Event. Like other event maps, it had a specialized wave structure with special enemies. Upon triumphing, players were rewarded with the Frost Blaster. You also got 10-50 Tickets per wave completed, which could be used to buy items from the Event Store.

In this map, players started off with $1,800 (or $1,900 if players were in the community group).

Design & Path

Village of Despair took place in, as the name states, a snowy village, separated by a frozen river, creating two islands. The two islands were surrounded by a frozen sea. A railroad ran across the length of the map. Two concrete icy bridges could be seen crossing the river, with one of them carrying the railroad. A sailboat can be seen in the frozen river. A lighthouse and a rocky island could be seen at sea. The first island contained mostly mountainous terrain, with several cliffs for cliff towers to be placed on. However, a few houses could be seen, as well as lanterns that lined the path. A train station and a windmill could also be seen. The second island consisted of more buildings, windmills and Christmas decorations. There was also a toy factory at the end of the map. A large clock tower and windmill could be seen on this island.

The dark grey concrete path started from a cave, which had a forcefield wall. It turned around cliffs on the first island and crossed a concrete bridge to reach the second island. On the second island, a large cliff ran perpendicular to the direction of the path, so the path took a long detour around it. At the last part of the path, the path became inclined at some steps so enemies could reach the toy factory's doors.

Strategy

• Ideally, you would want people to initially save up for the Minigunner given that the starting money is quite high.
  • However, you need to have someone defending while other people are doing this. Using a couple of Snipers on the middle hill on the first island, or a couple of Soldiers is recommended.
  • The Holiday Archer is also quite useful on this map, so long they are placed at the end of a long straight.
• The first island should be the initial spot to place towers due to the rotation of the path here.
  • The DJ Booth can be used to extend a tower's range to cover the entirety of this part, if required.
  • A well placed Pyromancer can slow down enemies down on two separate parts of the path.
• There are several cliffs to place down Outlaws and Snipers, making them ideal towers.
• If enemies manage to leave the first island (which is especially likely for Krampus), then utilize the second island.
  • As with the first island, there are plenty of cliff spaces for Outlaws.
• Farms are useless on this map as they do not grant any additional cash.

Trivia

• There was an Easter egg on the second island where a Robloxian (namely Beefchoplets) could be seen frozen in ice.
• Prior to the Overhaul Update, this was one of four maps to have an inclined path, with the others being Crossroads, Graveyard and Rocket Arena.
  • However, this map has the most noticeable incline.
