Despite being a well-polished original product, it came to an extremely quick death due to numerous problems and circumstances: Artifact was a latecomer to the card game genre (DCCG). Valve, the game-mod specialists Valve just had the biggest flop in their history as game developers – Artifact. Now, all involved parties cannot afford to miss this opportunity, especially keeping the lessons from recent history in mind. Every game developer and publisher dreams of having a hugely successful title in the mobile market, and Auto Chess seems like it’s got the potential to become one. To spice things up, Auto Chess seems like a game that’s well-fitted for a touch interface, and let’s face it – mobile games are much more important than PC games from a business perspective. Its unrivaled popularity gives birth to the new Auto Battler genre. A few months ago, Dota Auto Chess appears as a custom game within Dota 2.

It becomes the biggest PC game in the world with 100 million active players. They pick up some of the people involved in the original custom game (while causing huge drama by closing the biggest Dota community site down and turning it into a LoL advertisement) and create League of Legends. Blizzard are too slow to act, and Riot jumps on the business opportunity.

As a Dota veteran and nowadays an avid Dota Underlords player, I’d love to put forward my perspective on the Auto Battler wars and Dota Underlords chances to become the market leader. The prize is, expectedly, a billion-dollar niche in the PC and most importantly – mobile gaming market. The three main contenders are Drodo’s Auto Chess, Valve’s Dota Underlords, and Riot’s Teamfight Tactics. We are living in the middle of the glorious age of the Auto Battler wars.
