Hearthstone Battlegrounds 16.4

Dota Autochess was a surprise hit when it came out, which was doubly surprising as it was simply a custom game mod. The combination of gambling and real skill took the internet by storm, so much so that Valve has officially sanctioned it and released their own version. Eager to ride the train, Blizzard has added a mode to their popular card battler Hearthstone called Hearthstone Battleground.

To play Hearthstone Battleground, simply boot up Hearthstone and choose the mode. It's attached to the same client.

This is definitely the most unique autobattler on the market so far. Due to its roots as a card game, it plays incredibly differently. At the start of every game, you have to select a hero from a group of three. These heroes have a unique, special ability that can alter your playstyle completely. For instance, one of the heroes will buff all units in the shop if you sell a minion off your board that round. This gives it a much more different playstyle than another hero who lets you spend one gold to buff a minion for the next round.

This game also completely removes the positioning aspect other autobattlers have, as it still has the card game look. Your cards attack left to right, as do the opponents, and you guys go back and forth until each minion is gone. The winner will then add up all surviving cards and deal damage to the loser.

Overall, Hearthstone Battleground is definitely one of the more unique autobattlers out there. Fans of the genre should give it a shot.
