We’ll add up some emotional atmosphere of a clash of gangs to the educational content of the new game. We thought “Hm, it resembles a shady backstreet club” and decided to make a tournament in a syndicate theme, which was already slightly hinted at in key visual for the event already. “One of our screenwriters found a narrative showing confrontation of the gangs within the game: they battle, fight each other, and this entire action happens against the backdrop of a rather dark underground. Here is what our General Producer Maksym Bilonogov had to say about the WePlay! Dota Underlords Open theme in an interview for Hotspawn: WePlay Esports team creates events with specific themes to entertain viewers and conjure certain emotions. The games are also different graphically.Ī spectacular show: Who’ll rule White Spire? Since AI controls the battle, it’s fairly common that plain luck decides the outcome of a round. However, Dota Underlords’ mechanics are fairly distinct. The game has a competitor: Riot Games’ TeamFight Tactics (TFT) released on June 26, 2019. To become the Underlord, the supreme ruler, the gamer needs to watch the economy, level progression, and heroes' synergy. It’s a knockout match: those players who lose the game are left with no chances of ruling White Spire. Each hero has an ability, a tribe, and a characteristic combining those can create devastating effects for opponents.
The amount of heroes you can have in each round is equal to the level you are, which can be upgraded through the expense of coins - the in-game currency you earn after each round. The battles are held in a gaming arena (White Spire), and the goal is to rule White Spire!Ī player can have up to nine heroes in their “board”, positioned accordingly to their goals. The game has simple graphics, and it’s not hard to follow the events even if you are not familiar with auto battlers. On the contrary, health points decrease each time a round is lost, eventually leading to death - and defeat - when they reach zero. The more rounds are won, the more currency is earned. Each match consists of several rounds in which one plays with and against AI-controlled heroes. A player chooses heroes from a semi-random pool, purchases them with earned currency, and improves a squad. The concept of an automatic strategy battler can be quite simple to understand, yet difficult to master. The developer added different features such as integration with mobile devices (creating a cross-play experience) and a number of rewards through the battle pass. With the popularity of Auto Chess, a chess-like strategy game, a Chinese modification created inside Dota 2, Valve Corporation created their automatic strategy battler to a huge public and critical acclaim.

Gold mechanics, leveling up units and similar base mechanics are currently very similar to the base mod in all variants.Dota Underlords is a multiplayer online game published by Valve, and its first release was in June 2019. TFT had to start from scratch for combinations, effects and abilities.Ībilities in TFT don’t have a cooldown, just mana cost.
Underlords adds a couple of units and classes and changes a couple of abilities but generally is very close to the Auto Chess mod content wise. TFT teleports both participants to a single battle and the outcome determines the result for both players (a single ghost copy is added in case of an uneven number of players). Only the battle on your board affects your health. Every player fights a copy of another player’s board. Underlords uses the Auto Chess mod combat style. A unit can only carry a single item in Underlords and items are freely movable outside of combat. Underlords includes passive global items giving class/race bonuses, gold changes, special abilities and other stuff in addition to basic combat bonuses. In Underlords each creep round gives you a choice of items of which you pick one. TFT included items that modify race/class. They still are random loot drops from creeps and part of the TFT special carousel drafting round. In TFT any two of the 10 or so base items combine to a specific big item. If you haven’t played Auto Chess yourself the differences will seem relatively minor.īoth Underlords and TFT change the item system. It’s a young genre and Riot and Valve started by creating their respective version on the Auto Chess base and are now implementing their specific approaches and ideas while in active beta. All the main variants have a race/class system (using different names).īoth Valve’s and Riot’s variant are in the very early stages (they really tried to hurry to the open beta phase to establish themselves).Īll three have strong similarities gameplay-wise.
