About Automaton Kingdom
Automaton Kingdom is a 2D Autochess puzzle game. It has two different phases, the edit phase and the play phase.
-Gameplay.
In the edit phase, different characters can be placed in different areas of the map and you can customize many parameters such as direction to face, inventory, team, etc. You can also interact and edit some game objects directly by clicking on them in this phase. After completing the edit phase, the player can see the resolution of the game as the characters interact on their own with the level and with each other.
-Mechanics.
The player can interact with different elements on the map to alter the outcome.
Some elements allow direct interaction, such as some ladders, the inventory, Characters or the team to which the character belongs. On the other hand, there are the elements with which the player interacts in an indirect way. Either by placing a character in the path of a lever so that it activates it, or giving him an object that allows him to destroy an obstacle.

"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 …1 found this helpful
