Indie developer New Beings and better. publishing have announced that Order Automatica, a dark-themed tactical auto-battler with roguelite elements, will launch on September 4 for Xbox Series X|S.
Often described as “chess with demons,” the game combines tactical pre-battle planning with intense roguelite progression. In Order Automatica, players participate in a sinister ritual where their ultimate goal is to stop demonic forces by extinguishing ritual candles. However, every blown-out candle makes surviving enemies significantly more powerful.
Battles in Order Automatica take place automatically on a 3×3 grid, shifting the focus entirely to preparation, positioning, and unit selection:
-
Pre-Battle Strategy: Success is determined before the combat starts. Unit placement determines attack turn orders, skill synergy, and the pace of the battle.
-
Varied Roster: Units feature distinct passive traits and active skills triggered either by the player or by enemy forces.
-
Adaptive Gameplay: Every run presents escalating difficulty. Strategies that succeed in early stages will quickly falter as enemies grow stronger, forcing players to continually adapt their tactics.
To mark the release, a 20% launch discount will be available for two weeks starting September 4 across Xbox.
