Auto Chess for Android

Auto Chess rewards planning over reflexes, and this page offers the Auto Chess APK download for Android in its latest version, 2.42.2, as an XAPK file. It is the original free game from Chinese studio Dragonest Game, rated 4.4 out of 5 with millions of downloads on Google Play.

What is Auto Chess and how does it play?

Auto Chess started life as a custom mod for Dota 2 on PC, released in January 2019 by Drodo. The concept was then brought to phones and tablets in an official mobile edition developed and published by Dragonest Game, and it passed 5 million downloads within just a few days.

The game is an Auto Battler that blends card-game and RPG elements inside the fantasy world of Dota. All players draw from a large shared pool of hero cards, receiving heroes at random, and then decide which ones to keep and upgrade.

Before each round you position your heroes on the board, and once the fight begins it plays out automatically. Victory depends on your lineup, your placement and how well you exploit synergies between classes and races.

Modes and content

There are dozens of heroes with different abilities and classes, and each one can be upgraded through several levels. Special items and equipment further boost your heroes during a match.

• Online multiplayer competition plus a practice mode.
• Varied stages and contests with rising difficulty.
• Daily missions and special events with exclusive rewards.
• A points system for climbing the ranked leaderboard.

Visually, Auto Chess uses detailed 3D models with a colourful fantasy style, backed by energetic music and punchy battle effects. The interface is simple to learn, and regular updates add new heroes and items and improve performance.

Requirements and installing the XAPK

Auto Chess runs on Android 6.0 and above and carries a 10+ age rating. It requires a constant internet connection, so it cannot be played offline; its fast servers are built to host millions of players at once.

The download is an XAPK file of 544 MB, so you will need an XAPK installer app rather than the standard APK installer. Make sure you have enough free storage, open the file with the installer, follow the prompts, then launch the game and sign in to start competing.
