![]() ![]() After many matches of being placed no higher than 6 th I slowly realized that the real synergy of the cards didn’t just have to do with class type. I learned very early that I can’t mentally switch off completely as I repeatedly had my arse handed to me, during early game no less. If you’re not familiar with how Hearthstone or other card games work, it requires a bit more strategy than picking and playing the same class cards. I was expecting to be bored after half a dozen matches. Placing any old card on the board while the AI makes the rest of the decisions for you didn’t exactly sound fun. Now my impressions at first glance was that it was going to be the lazy mans Hearthstone as everything pretty much looked the same. Hearthstone Battlegrounds however takes a different approach. For me it’s a nice chill game after a long day or on a low energy stream night. For the most part it’s a mostly lazy process that can be done on auto pilot. That is of course until you reach late game and have to think about positioning. Then place anywhere on the board and hope for the best as RNGeesus takes the wheel. Traditional auto chess games have you choosing certain pieces to go with others that generally match with that class creating a synergy to work together and become more powerful. It takes basic mechanics of other auto battlers and mixes those in of Hearthstone. Hearthstone Battlegroundsdoes away with the chessboard like playing field and sticks with an OG Hearthstonesetup. It shows a unique approach to auto chess, if you can still label it as such. Hearthstone Battlegrounds doesn’t exactly follow suit to Dota Underlords or Teamfight Tactics. However my expectations seemed very different once I first caught a glimpse of how it played. So it’s no surprise that Hearthstone Battlegrounds had me very excited. Both of which have been my go to multiplayer titles for years. I think I’ve sunk more hours into auto chess in the last 6 months than games like Overwatch and Call Of Duty. ![]() Earlier in the year I wrote a mass review on the genre and try to fit in a few cheeky matches where I can. As you can tell I’m quite a fan of auto chess. It was a fresh new auto battler that I couldn’t wait to not only master but ultimately become addicted to. I wasn’t even overly concerned that it was solely based within the Hearthstone world. Hearthstone Battlegrounds was, in my opinion, the 2 nd best announcement Blizzard made this year. Blizzard already created a MOBA with Heroes Of The Storm, why not auto chess? During BlizzCon 2019, our wishes had been answered. In a genre that’s forever growing in popularity, it’s the perfect universe to base a game around. “Blizzard needs to make their own auto chess,” is a statement that’s been said for months by not just myself but also friends I play other auto-chess games with.
