To upgrade to a silver two-star unit, you must purchase three copies of the same unit. Once a unit is purchased, it begins as a bronze one-star unit. Each tier is increasingly more powerful and rare, with many orange units never appearing in the shop throughout the course of a game. The tiers affect the cost and power of units, starting at one gold for a white unit and five gold for legendary orange units, with and a color spectrum of green, blue, and purple in between. To further complicate the issue, there are five different tiers of units, each unit can be upgraded twice, and each unit belongs to two alliances. Lose three hit points, and you are eliminated. At the end of combat, the losing player loses one hit point. There is also a chart showing overall damage done for each unit to analyze your army's effectiveness. Combat is automated, so the player can sit back and watch the fireworks. There are some exceptions, with assassin-type units leaping into the opponent's back line to cause havoc on their ranged attackers. All units are controlled by AI and attack whatever is closest to them, building up mana, and casting the unit's associated ability once mana is full. Levels can also be purchased with gold to increase your unit cap.Īfter the purchasing timer expires at around 30 seconds, battle commences. The number of units allowed on the board is determined by your level, which increases as the game progresses, starting at two units and ending with eight or nine in the late game. The board has three rows per side, so you can place your tougher melee units up front and the ranged units in the back. Once units are purchased, they are placed on your bench, and from your bench, you can place them on the board to do battle. The shop offers five units chosen at random, and you can pay a fee to re-randomize the available units. Each round begins with purchasing units from the shop. Despite the name and the board shape, Chess Royale has virtually nothing in common with traditional chess.Ĭhess Royale adheres closely to the standard auto-battle format. Available in both desktop and mobile formats, the game functions primarily like an auto-battler, but each game consists of 100 players, and the last man standing is declared the victor. Might & Magic: Chess Royale hopes to take advantage of the rise in popularity of both the auto-battler and battle royale formats.
