About Dota Underlords
Recruit and upgrade heroes with synergistic alliances to outwit opponents in this strategic auto-battler set in the crime-ridden city of White Spire. Play solo campaigns, ranked matches, or crossplay multiplayer with extensive customization, seasonal content, and optional cosmetics that never affect gameplay.
In Dota Underlords, strategic decisions matter more than twitch reflexes. Underlords includes compelling singleplayer and multiplayer modes, and offers level progression with rewards. Play a strategic Standard game, a quick Knockout match, or co-op Duos match with a friend.
SEASON ONE NOW AVAILABLE
Season One comes with a City Crawl full of content, a Battle Pass full of rewards, and multiple ways to play online or offline. Dota Underlords is now out of Early Access and ready to play!
CITY CRAWL
Mama Eeb’s death has left a power vacuum in White Spire. Take back the city neighborhood by neighborhood, Underlord by Underlord, in the new City Crawl campaign. Complete puzzle challenges, win quick street-fights, and complete in-game challenges to clear paths and take over the city. Unlock rewards like new outfits for your Underlords, new wanted poster artwork, victory dances, and titles.
BATTLEPASS
Season One comes with a full Battle Pass offering over 100 rewards. Play matches, complete challenges, and unlock areas of the City Crawl to level up your Battle Pass and earn rewards. Rewards include new boards, weather effects, profile customization, skins, and other gameplay cosmetics. Many of these rewards can be earned for free simply by playing the game. For more rewards and content, players can purchase the Battle Pass for $4.99 on all platforms. The paid Battle Pass is not required to play the game, nor does it provide any gameplay specific advantage.
WHITE SPIRE AWAITS A LEADER...
A vertical metropolis of gambling and grit, just beyond the reach of Stonehall and Revtel; White Spire is known as a smugglers' paradise with loose morals and colorful residents to spare. Despite being overrun with syndicates, gangs, and secret societies, White Spire has never descended into chaos for one reason: Momma Eeb. She was respected... she was loved... and unfortunately, she was murdered last week.
Eeb’s death has sent one question rippling through White Spire’s underworld: who is going to run the city?
STRATEGIZE TO WIN: Recruit heroes and upgrade them into more powerful versions of themselves.
MIX AND MATCH: Each hero you recruit can form unique alliances. Stacking your team with allied heroes will unlock powerful bonuses that can crush your rivals.
UNDERLORDS: Choose from four Underlords to lead your crew to victory. Underlords are powerful units who fight on the field alongside your crew, and they each bring their own playstyle, perks, and abilities to the table.
CROSSPLAY: Play on your platform of choice and battle players across the globe in a hassle-free crossplay experience. Running late? Start a match on your PC and finish it on your mobile device (and vice versa). Your profile in Dota Underlords is shared across all devices, so no matter what you play on, you're always making progress.
RANKED MATCHMAKING: Everyone starts at the bottom, but by playing against other Underlords you'll climb through the ranks and prove you're worthy to rule White Spire.
TOURNAMENT-READY: Create your own private lobbies and matches, then invite spectators to watch 8 Underlords duke it out.
OFFLINE PLAY: Offering a sophisticated AI with 4 levels of difficulty, offline play is a great place to hone your skills. Pause and resume games at your leisure.
SEASONAL ROTATION: Every season we'll say goodbye to certain Heroes, Items, and Alliances to make room for new additions that will shape the ever-evolving world of Underlords.

[h1]Dota Underlords - Postmortem:[/h1] Dota Underlords is Valve's version of the Dota 2 custom game [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails?id=1613886175]Dota Auto Chess[/url]. The origins of this "auto battler" or "auto chess" genre get a bit murky, with several mods & custom maps from Starcraft, Warcraft III, and Starcraft II cited as potential antecedents. Legion TD, Squadron TD, et al. In January 2019, a group of Chinese developers known as Drodo Studio, released Dota Auto Chess. Drodo Studio stated they were inspired by Mahjong as well as the Warcraft III mod Pokemon Defense. By May 2019, Dota Auto Chess had over 8 million subscribers; the hype train was full steam ahead, and Valve announced Dota Underlords. Valve attempted to cash in on the trend by doing what they had always done: hire the mod team and make their own IP. Except this time, the devs refused. Valve's offer supposedly required Drodo to relocate to Seattle and work under an L-visa (their legal status would be dependent on working for Valve) which was a deal breaker. Meanwhile Auto Chess was released by Drodo Studio for Android (April 2019) and iOS (May 2019) with a co-publishing partnership …7 found this helpful
