  • Deep strategic gameplay with high skill ceiling and rewarding mechanics balancing RNG and player decisions.
  • Frequent updates and meta changes keep the game dynamic and encourage experimentation with different synergies.
  • Supports multiple game modes including solo, duo, and team play; cross-play is available for playing across devices.
  • UI and client are criticized for being cluttered, confusing, and poorly optimized for PC, often feeling like a direct mobile port.
  • Frequent server, login, and matchmaking issues disrupt player experience; high ping and connection problems are common.
  • Aggressive monetization with complex and excessive in-game currencies, heavy cosmetic microtransactions, and gacha elements frustrate many players.

  • gameplay

    29 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    45% positive mentions, 45% neutral mentions, 10% negative mentions

    The gameplay of the game is praised for its strategic depth, variety, and fresh mechanics that keep the auto chess experience exciting and engaging, especially for fans of the original genre. However, new players may find the complexity overwhelming, and some frustrations arise from RNG elements and occasional bugs or server issues. While the core gameplay remains strong and addictive, it is sometimes overshadowed by a harsh monetization system and a less appealing UI.

    • “If you're new to auto chess, the sheer amount of options will likely be overwhelming, but if you're itching for a competitive auto battling game with a rich amount of mechanics, this game is the motherlode throwback to where the autobattling genre was hanging out after-school growing up.”
    • “The variety of units and abilities keeps the gameplay fresh and interesting, allowing for countless strategic possibilities.”
    • “Been playing this game since season 1 which has been 4 years now, I still enjoy this game and it has definitely come a long way with significant improvements to the gameplay.”
    • “The gameplay is decent but the eastern style mobile gaming is painful.”
    • “Game pacing is very fast as their target is mobile gamers, but this makes the game less and less strategic compared to Underlord because aside from avoiding building the same build with other people at the beginning of the game, you can only change your build once to counter a lucky player if you are lucky enough, but in most games I played it was very hard to do that because its RNG system is not true random.”
    • “Autochess sometimes experiences bugs and server issues, which can disrupt gameplay and frustrate players.”

  • graphics

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    23% positive mentions, 54% neutral mentions, 23% negative mentions

    The graphics receive mixed feedback, with many appreciating the appealing animations and trendy art style that enhance enjoyment, while others criticize the game's mobile-like aesthetics and downgraded visuals compared to the original PC version. Some users report technical issues like blinking colors during battles and express dissatisfaction with the UI/UX changes linked to the graphical downgrade. Overall, while the art and animations are praised, the shift to a mobile-focused presentation has disappointed several players.

    • “The graphics and animations in autochess are visually appealing and add to the overall enjoyment of the game.”
    • “High-level graphics and animations add atmosphere, and team play brings a lot of fun.”
    • “Artstyle is trendy and the team always try to bring nice pieces of skins in every new patch.”
    • “Tutorial was rather quick, graphics are generic, English voice acting is very amateurish, likely an afterthought; Chinese voice acting is probably a lot better, so I'd recommend going that route if you still plan on playing.”
    • “I have a problem: when the battle starts, I get blinking graphic colors and can't watch the battle properly.”
    • “Worst graphic problems during the fight phase.”

  • monetization

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    Users criticize the game’s monetization as overwhelming and intrusive, with excessive cosmetic gacha systems, constant ads, and aggressive microtransactions that negatively impact the overall experience. However, despite these issues, the core gameplay remains fresh and enjoyable for dedicated players who can overlook the monetization practices.

    • “A lot to do, they sift out cheaters regularly, in-game purchases are normally priced properly, the passes give you enough time to get the rewards and gameplay is fun.”
    • “Underneath the god-awful cosmetic gacha with many events and currencies, the gameplay of auto chess itself is extremely fresh and exciting, and it's held up well despite its unforgiveable monetization strategy. If you just click through all the boxes and stick to the queue-up button, you'll be set.”
    • “The passes give you enough time to get the rewards and gameplay is fun.”
    • “What I'm trying to say is underneath the god-awful cosmetic gacha hellscape of 1000 events and 1000 currencies for buying cosmetic items, because that is unfortunately what has happened to keep this game running, the gameplay of auto chess itself is extremely fresh and just-as exciting to discover as when it released, it's held up extremely well underneath its unforgivable monetization strategy, so if you're like me just click through all the boxes until you find the queue-up button and stick to that, you'll be set - cheers”
    • “Open the game to be inundated with advertisements.”
    • “The reality of this game is that if you aren't participating in the microtransactions available on the game they don't care about your experience.”

  • music

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 40% neutral mentions, 60% negative mentions

    The music in the game is widely criticized for being unpleasant and intrusive, often playing loudly during loading screens even when disabled. This issue, combined with loading problems, significantly detracts from the user experience.

    • “Even if you turn it off, the game will load with the music blasting.”
    • “They can't disable the sound of the terrible music in the loader.”
    • “Absolutely horrible, the music is so bad and the game won't load at all; tried to log in with Facebook or Google but it says loading and just won't let me.”

  • stability

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 67% negative mentions

    The game's stability is inconsistent, with some users experiencing severe bugs and freezing at the load screen, while others, particularly Steam Deck users, report smooth performance and good battery life.

    • “For Steam Deck users: it runs great and will last you at least 4 hours.”
    • “Insanely buggy client”
    • “I can't get past load screen; it just freezes with loud music”

  • story

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The story is heavily overshadowed by excessive popups and confusing currency systems, making it difficult for players to engage meaningfully. Quest requirements feel unnecessarily complicated, detracting from any narrative immersion. Overall, the story experience is frustrating and unclear.

    • “Once you get through all the popups for the things they want to sell you, you get to click through all the popups for various mail pieces that give you various currencies. None of these are ever 1 currency for 1 thing. If you want to complete a quest, you don't need one quest completion ticket, you need three for one quest, and five for another that gives the exact same reward.”

    Users appreciate that grinding in the game allows them to earn rewards and cosmetics through effort rather than spending money, providing a meaningful incentive to engage with the gameplay.

    • “You used to get so much for your money in terms of cosmetics, and the payoff is you will actually be grinding the game for a reason.”

  • atmosphere

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions
