Tiny Auto Knights is a strategy game developed and published by Mumpitz Games. It’s an auto-battler simulator where you have to build a team of unique heroes equipped with powerful abilities, place them on a 3x3 arena grid, and then watch them automatically battle against the opponent’s team.

There’s more to it in Tiny Auto Knights than just watching your heroes fight their opponents. Positioning, team composition, and hero synergies all play a key role in the overall success of these battles. The mechanics are straightforward, but also deep enough for both newcomers and seasoned players to enjoy.

Assemble a team of heroes and fight

In Tiny Auto Knights, the gameplay revolves around building a deck of heroes — each having unique skills and abilities — and then you strategically have to place them on a 3x3 grid before the battle begins. Winning these battles rewards you with Unlock Tokens that you can use to gain access to new heroes and add them to your custom deck. Heroes can be leveled up by merging duplicates together.

The core concept of the battles looks simple, but there’s a lot of depth to it. Positioning is important, since where a hero is placed affects attack order and skill use. There are also status effects like freeze and poison, so it’s not just purely raw strength that’s being tested here. Relics can also be equipped, which act as passive bonuses that add buffs and other advantages for your team.

The game respects your time in planning for the battles ahead, since there’s no turn timer to pressure you, giving room for newcomers to familiarize themselves with the mechanics. For seasoned veterans who wish to test their mettle, they can dive into ranked games to compete in global leaderboards and show off their strategic prowess against the best of the best.

Worth it for its deep strategic gameplay

Overall, Tiny Auto Knights is a promising strategy game because of its approachable mechanics and room for strategic depth. However, it’s a downer for some due to having no direct control over each hero during battles. It heavily relies on tactical skill instead of mechanical skill to influence the outcome of the fights. Nonetheless, it’s still fun to experiment with different hero combinations and see how they fare in combat.
