Automaton Kingdom

⠀

"Automaton Kingdom" erroneously described as "autochess" this has nothing to do with chess. This 2D retro pixel dumpster fire has you placing a bunch of things on the level, then pressing "Play" to observe the outcome as units autobattle and so on. Kind of like a Bridge Constructor mobile app but with worse graphics and worse gameplay. This features really godawful, lazy pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks bad because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded [i]despite[/i] the bad graphics, not because of them. Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service …

Nice Puzzle game

Great game to think about sequences and strategies

[h1]Before I played Automaton Kingdom, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]
