As a veteran auto chess player, I have played Dota Underlords, Teamfight Tactics and Duoduo. Today I will talk about why I finally stayed in Duoduo Auto Chess.
Let's talk about the graphics and art style first. Duoduo Auto Chess follows the Q version of the cartoon route. The chess pieces are exquisitely modeled and the special effects are clean and neat. It is not as flashy as Teamfight Tactics, nor is it prone to visual fatigue like the more realistic style of Dota Underlords. The overall UI layout is simple, the board is clear, and it is very friendly to mobile players. I give it a 6 points, not amazing but comfortable enough.
The gameplay is the core of auto chess. Duoduo Auto Chess retains the most classic 8-player turn-based battle, with rich racial bonds and good balance, such as classic routines such as Goblin Craftsman and Light Feather Clan. Compared with Teamfight Tactics, Duoduo pays more attention to economic operations and chess positioning, and has a higher strategic depth; while Dota Underlords has innovative equipment systems, but the later lineup is seriously homogeneous. Duoduo's chess piece pool is updated at a moderate pace and will not cause the loss of players due to frequent changes like Genting's. The disadvantage is that the threshold for beginners to get started is slightly higher, so it is recommended to read the guide first.
In terms of krypton gold, Duoduo Auto Chess is currently one of the most conscientious. It is completely playable for 0 Yuan parties. The pass only gives skins and special effects and does not affect combat values. Compared with Teamfight Tactics' Little Heroes, which requires money to play, Dota Underlords requires you to buy a small book to unlock advanced rewards. Duoduo basically does not force krypton, which is a plus.
The social aspect is quite satisfactory, with friend groups and chat channels, but it is not as social as the King. If you're a solo player, that's no problem; you can find teammates if you want to play black. The e-sports system is indeed well done. World championships are held frequently and the viewing experience is smooth.
Summarize the advantages and disadvantages:
Advantages: zero krypton friendly, high strategic depth, relatively good balance, and stable updates.
Disadvantages: Insufficient guidance for novices, large fluctuations in the strength of some racial bonds, and a cutesy style that may not be accepted by hardcore players.
After a horizontal comparison, I feel that if you are an experienced player of Auto Chess, or are looking for a chess and card game that offers fair competition and does not require money to crush you, Duoduo Auto Chess is worth a try. It is still in operation and the player community is active. It is recommended to join the game. 🎲
