Our X-Factor for the MGN Impression reviews changes from game to game, and review to review, and for Underlords we’ve decided to go with Support. We’re going to look at the depth of the gameplay, how long it can keep your interest with what’s there, how have Valve patched and changed up the gameplay. You want to know whether the mechanics for getting into Dota Underlords at this point are easy to understand, and genuinely enjoyable to employ, well we’re going to check it out. So, did they? If not, why not? Is the game better for having some context, or is it worse for not having a story? We’ll find out.ĭo any of the characters in the game have voice acting? If so, how is it? If not, does the game feel dead without it? How are the sound effects in combat – can you recognise them, or do they get lost in the crazy confusion that is the auto-chess battle arena? How is the soundtrack, is it done well, does it match the game, does it hit the ear right? Well, that’s sound. Yes, the reason that Auto-Chess was successful is for the gameplay, but that doesn’t mean Valve didn’t have the opportunity to include a story and a context for the multi-player combat. Moving from the limited tools of Dota 2 mods to a fully-fledged Steam release allows for a lot less restriction, and a lot more potential. So, is it still worth playing in 2021? What happened with the playerbase? Is the game good despite the dramatics revolving around it’s production and release? Is Valve still supporting the game, or has it been abandoned? Well, stick with me because we’re going to delve into this hot mess and see if there’s any fun to be had.Īs usual our MGN Impressions are broken down into four separate but equal parts: The game was hugely popular and showed a lot of promise when it came out, but then shortly after the player-base dropped off dramatically. Valve called it Dota Underlords, and thus our review is born. Now, the original creators of the mod have their own full release in Auto-Chess, and Vale went in-house for their own version. This is where things take a turn, because, for whatever reason, Valve and the creators of the original mod couldn’t come to an accord and the plans flopped. The mod was so popular that Valve attempted to bring the creators of the Dota Auto-Chess on board to create an official release of the game as a stand-alone product. You bought Dota units, upgraded them, battled against other line-ups all inside the Dota 2 client. The mod was insanely popular, and still is today. The game and genre originates from a Dota 2 mod called ‘Auto-Chess’. For those unfamiliar with the Dota Underlords story, I’ll provide a quick recap here.
