Auto Chess
Auto Chess started as a game modification within Dota earlier this year and spawned the “autobattlers” game genre, and in doing so, becoming one of the fastest growing game genres in the world today.
The original mod makers Drodo Studio teamed up with Dragonest in developing Auto Chess for mobile and PC standalone versions.
