Games like Auto Chess

Steam reviews

What players say

Players who like auto battlers find it deep and competitive, but many are put off by aggressive monetisation, loud audio and a crowded interface, and Steam's totals are only mostly positive.

Many players praise the strategic depth: combining units, synergies and economy decisions makes each match feel tense, and the quick loading and queues are a clear step up from rival auto battlers. Some like the competitive scene and the familiar lineage from the Dota 2 mod. The complaints are about the interface and the monetisation: pop-ups and offers flood new players, currencies pile up, and paid chests and keys feel intrusive. Several also dislike the loud audio and the long load screens. Balance is a recurring concern, with frequent patches reshuffling builds and a few items or relics seen as too strong or unreliable. Reviews from the last year lean more negative than the older helpful ones, mostly over monetisation and the connection problems, and the recent reviews also raise cheating and the unclear community chat.

Who it suits

Players who enjoy auto battlers and deep competitive strategy, and who can tolerate noisy menus and frequent shop prompts.

Who should skip it

Players put off by aggressive monetisation, loud audio or frequent balance changes, and those who want a clean, uncluttered first experience.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with over 200 hours tend to be more critical, complaining about balance shifts and the rewards of their long progression, while newer players mostly praise the quick and skill-based matches.
