The connection issues are gone. But the game is too easy to the point it gets boring (at least in Adventure mode on easy, and you have to play through 10 chapters of Easy to unlock Hard - just let the user play hard from the start - stop all the hand holding!). (End update) Gameplay and production value is great. I like the multiple play modes and that it's single player (plenty of multiplayer auto chess games already). One major problem though - it keeps telling me connection timed out and to check my internet connection, but my connection is fine. The alert comes up like every 20-30 seconds, so that's kind of annoying. It also means some of the features aren't working. One other minor issue - in endless mode, when I lose all my player HP, the game gives me bonuses, including more hp, to stay in the game. And I can't opt out of it - I have to accept. Though I can then surrender from the menu. But if you're going to do that, why even have HP in the first place?? Just let me die! I don't want to continue playing forever (despite the mode being called endless). Or at least make the assistance optional. But please fix the network connection issue! I'd love to keep playing, but not if that keeps happening. ### 2/5 — Fun game but bugs *2024-08-09, version 2.2* Love the core gameplay here. But game is really buggy. Whenever you click on challenge it says “Need Login in” but there’s no way to log in. ### 2/5 — It's ok *2023-05-15, version 2.2* Like for what it is, it's ok. It's very repetitive though and a lot of the combos are pointless combos. The same combos every single time and it basically guarantees wins. There's not much point to this game really. ### 3/5 — Great but with problems *2022-06-22* Gameplay and production value is great. I like the multiple play modes and that it's single player (plenty of multiplayer auto chess games already). One major problem though - it keeps telling me connection timed out and to check my internet connection, but my connection is fine. The alert comes up like every 20-30 seconds, so that's kind of annoying. It also means some of the features aren't working. One other minor issue - in endless mode, when I lose all my player HP, the game gives me bonuses, including more hp, to stay in the game. And I can't opt out of it - I have to accept.

I don't want to continue playing forever (despite the mode being called endless). Or at least make the assistance optional. But please fix the network connection issue! I'd love to keep playing, but not if that keeps happening. ### 2/5 — Login *2022-02-21, version 2.2* But how do I login? Everytime I try to click my account nothing happens. Games fun though. ### 5/5 — Amazing solo Auto Chess game *2021-09-05* Having been a big fan of Autochess, but not a fan of the timers needed to make a multiplayer game work, this game is exactly what’ve I’ve been needing to really enjoy the awesome strategy system that is auto chess. Keep up the great work. ### 5/5 — Offline game is ok *2021-08-19, version 1.98* You should play this game if you want to play auto chess without internet ### 2/5 — Dead? *2021-07-28, version 1.98* Seems like this application abandoned by developer. No news, no new content. Was fun @ beginning, but becomes boring quite soon. Nothing to gain, weak social aspect. D+ ### 1/5 — Wave 80 Glitch *2020-11-02, version 1.98* All of my units just instantly died before they could do anything; granted the endless mode was generous with extra hp, why offer so much if it’s gonna instantly murder my units later? ### 5/5 — Spelling errors *2020-10-14* Saw my brother play so downloading it. There are a number of spelling errors in the about page. Abount vip should be about vip Realist should probably be realistic Roguelike is usually spelled rogue-like A few examples there are others but do not feel like listing all of them as well as harder grammatical errors relation to past participle among other advanced English sentence structure. Feel free to delete this comment if it’s within your power after fixing. ## Frequently asked questions about Auto Chess War ### What is Auto Chess War?
