Teamfight Tactics is out on iOS and Android Right Now

<p>While the ‘Auto Chess Wars’ seem to have cooled off a bit heading into 2020, there are still some clear front-runners. ‘OG’ <em>Auto Chess</em> is still plodding away, with the main version existing on mobile devices. Valve’s <em>DOTA Underlords</em> may have lost most of its user-base, but the team were quite quick at getting the game out and have proven very responsive so far in terms of development – we hope <a href="https://www.pockettactics.com/articles/dota-underlords-season-1/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the launch of their first official season</a> has gone well.</p>
<p>Elsewhere, Blizzard have gotten in on the action with the most unique Auto Chess take to date – <em>Hearthstone Battlegrounds</em>. ‘Auto Chess but with cards’ isn’t something I’d have expected to work well, but it does, despite my issues with the stat inflation that mires the main CCG.</p>
<p>Arguably though the One Auto Chess to Rule Them All currently is Riot’s <em>Teamfight Tactics</em>, which has just released today on the <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tft-teamfight-tactics/id1480616748?mt=8" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">App Store</a> and <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riotgames.league.teamfighttactics" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Google Play</a>.</p>

<p>I’ve just taken it for a quick spin – it’s pretty decent, although the change from a square grid to a hex isn’t as impactful as I thought it’d be. Perhaps it’s more of a subtle change. Like <em>Underlords</em> it has very good visual production values, and some neat little touches. Your little penguin avatar can actually roam about the map, for example, and there’s a couple of carousel rounds where you need to run and ‘pick’ your starting/free champion from a rotating line-up. Your avatar will pick the first one it touches so path-finding is key, lest you accidentally get someone else.</p>
<p>This can be confusing for new players though, as it really needs you to understand who champions are at a glance and what their traits are.</p>
<p>Other than that, it feels a lot like <em>Underlords</em> and OG <em>Auto Chess</em>. There’s money, there’s three tiers a champion can reach, there’s mob rounds… all the usual mechanics right now. If you want to read more regarding tips &amp; strategies for <em>Teamfight Tactics</em> before jumping in, our sister website Strategy Gamer <a href="http://bit.ly/sgtftguide" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">put together an essential tips guide</a> for anyone new to this particular brand of Auto Battler.</p>

<p>The launch of the mobile version coincides with the ‘Galaxies’ update, which swaps out a lot of content for new sci-fi/space themed environments. There are also brand new champions and synergies to play around with as well.</p>
<p><em>Teamfight Tactics</em> is free-to-play, but features a Battle Pass system where you can pay for additional in-game goodies, such as avatars and emotes. The Battle Pass for the current Galaxies season is $9.99, but the App store lists several different IAPs currently – we think those are simply Battle Pass IAPS for other languages.</p>
