Each autobattler is starting to develop an identity all its own, and what this means for the future of the genre is exciting.Īs it stands, Teamfight Tactics is certainly the most popular game. Drodo is the odd duck out, but a notable one it's the team that created the original Dota Auto Chess mod, who have since moved on and developed a standalone for mobile that it plans to bring to the Epic Games Store.
You're likely familiar with Riot and Valve for their respective MOBAs, League of Legends and Dota 2. There have been a good few games that have entered the space, but today, we're talking about the biggest ones: Riot Games' Teamfight Tactics and Valve's Dota Underlords, as well as touching on Drodo Studios' Auto Chess. You build up your army's strength by combining identical units and synergizing their passive traits, and repeat until one board is left standing. Then your board fights another player's-or sometimes, a neutral set of monsters-and the loser takes damage to their health bar. You build up gold to spend on units, which you can buy from a rotating random selection, to place on your board each round. If you're still unfamiliar, an autobattler or "auto chess" is essentially a mixture of a deck-building card game, tower defense, and poker. But now, everything's starting to solidify and the key players are clear.
