Dota Auto Chess heads to mobile without Dota

One of the most popular games in the world right now is about to make the leap to mobile. Dota Auto Chess has tens of thousands of players on Steam, but now developer Drodo Studio is prepping to expand it to a new audience.

Dota Auto Chess tasks players with collecting a squad of powerful units and then taking them online to battle on a chess board. It uses the heroes from Dota 2, but many of their abilities are different. The actual game is a 4-on-4 battle with other players, but the action is largely automated based on the makeup of your team.
