![]() The official description of the game that Valve issued in its introduction blog post shortly before the game’s launch is as follows:ĭota Underlords is a new stand-alone game that pits you against seven opponents in a battle of wits that will have you building, combining, and leveling up a crew in a battle of dominance for the city of White Spire. Unlike Auto Chess: Origin, that’s made on Unreal Engine 4, Underlords utilizes the Source 2 engine (as it’s developed by Valve) and is the first Source 2-made game for the smartphone platform. It’s a game mode and not a standalone PC game. With Dragonest’s Auto Chess and Valve’s Underlords banking on the new demand for the auto-battler genre, Riot Games (the developer of League of Legends) also came up with its own auto-battler called Teamfight Tactics, which features League of Legends characters, or champions, as they call them. More information is available here on the official page. Shortly afterward, Drodo Games partnered with Chinese studio Dragonest to develop a standalone version of the Dota Auto Chess mini-game called Auto Chess: Origin. That project never materialized and the talks failed. Here’s the full story about how testers in Valve loved playing Auto Chess and how they approached Drodo Games, the original developer from China, to work together on a new project. Seeing that, Valve decided to make its own variation of the auto-battler. Auto Chess quickly became popular among Dota 2 players and popularized the “auto-battler” genre. The game derives its inspiration from Auto Chess. ![]() ![]() Also, if you’re stuck and can’t decide between Underlords, Auto Chess, and Teamfight Tactics, then I’d recommend this guide (though it’s not that much of use, in my opinion, the best on the market right now). If you’re active on Reddit, I’d also like you to follow the Underlords subreddit. The game has an official website to learn more. Note that in this piece, we’re mostly going to focus on the player who already knows about Dota 2 and is a beginner- or intermediate-level player in Underlords. You can resume your match from PC on your smartphone and your smartphone on PC. Underlords has its own smartphone version as well as the non-Dota standalone version available on Steam. Dota Underlords is a separate game developed by Valve, and not a Dota 2 mini-game (like Auto Chess or Pudge Wars).
