Autobattlers 101: An Intro To The Genre

[@shaginus]

Oh Unicorn Overlord The great think about this is that why the main battle automatically happened you can set the priorities making strategizing super fun My go to Auto Battler (only one) is TFT, it super easy to learn and very fun with each set come with unique mechanic that could pass on to the next one

[@YourFNGamers]

Yep, there is a ton of depth to Unicorn Overlord! And I agree, I think that once you learn the basics of TFT, it translates well to other similar games and sets within TFT itself.

Autobattler is a sous-genre of strategy games, but it was not created by tft or the dota's one. This was a style of game in browser game (laBrute for exemple) and there was a lot in the multi of Warcraft 3. The genre should be described as a versus game with a planification time and a spectating time, alternating. Those are synchronized with opponent (it's not a "i play - you play - i play"). AB has a lot of potential, outside of the way dota/lol interpreted it

Glad someone mentioned Warcraft 3 and Labrute lol

[@YourFNGamers]

Ahh thanks! I knew DotA originated in Warcraft 3 but didn't realize there were autobattler mods that far back! Thanks for sharing!

​@@YourFNGamers W3's multi opens everyone to share their custom map and people succeded to do a lot more than a str game. Like garry's mod but they were the first

Love the SAP shout! I'll say the newer expansions can get a little out of hand mechanically but the core game is so good and so easy to play on mobile.

[@YourFNGamers]

For sure! I think it's a great place to start and there's plenty of options to expand it if you're enjoying the game!

one of several examples of Riot > valve in development !

[@YourFNGamers]

Yeah, it may personal bias as I just like the world and characters of LoL better, but between Underlords and TFT, I prefer TFT and think is feels smoother. It has been awhile since I checked out Underlords though, haha

[@sleevman]

there is only teamfight tactics. the other are trash

[@YourFNGamers]

Everyone has their own tastes, that said, I do like TFT, haha
