The name that seems to be coming forward to describe this genre is “autobattlers.”Įssentially, you strip away a lot of the hassles of a MOBA: Take out the clicking, the teamwork and coordination with idiots, the need for the reflexes of a 16 year old jacked up on caffeine and sugar. Now Valve leaped in with an official game– DOTA Underlords–and Riot has released their own– Teamfight Tactics.

So what if you liked the diverse and broad selection of heroes, the mental games of remembering which one countered which other one, the team construction, and not the frantic clicking, swearing, and slurring? Enter Auto Chess.ĭota Auto Chess is a mod for DOTA 2 that came out in January and promptly exploded into one of the most popular games on Steam. In DOTA, DOTA2, League of Legends, and the 10,000 knockoffs of what came to be called Multiplayer Online Battle Arenas (MOBAs), you focused entirely on managing that hero and destroying the enemy’s base by working with automated swarms of units, fighting the other heroes, and calling each other slurs over voice chat. Some players liked micromanaging the Hero Units more than managing the swarms and building bases, which lead to Defense of the Ancients, the legendary DOTA. Careful micro-management with them could swing the tide of a battle. Hero Units were kind of like RPG characters: more powerful and better equipped than your swarm of peasants. Next came a generation with Hero Units, largely driven by Warcraft III. Let’s start from the absolute beginning for those of you too scared of MOBAs–rightfully–to know that world.īack when dinosaurs roamed the earth, real time strategy games were all about commanding hordes of dudes. We’re Sitting Here On Vent And Modding A Little DOTA I wondered–as you may be wondering now–”What the hell is Auto Chess?” One minute I was waiting for the 10,000th Battle Royale or Survival Crafting clone to arrive so I could make fun of them, and the next minute people were suddenly talking about Auto Chess.

It’s not every day that a new genre appears, seemingly full formed, but that’s how it went with Auto Chess.
