Auto Pirates is an auto-combat game set on the high seas, now available for iOS and Android

  • Auto Pirates is a new game from the creators of Botworld Adventure
  • Avoid pay-to-win in favor of tactical battles and strategic deckbuilding
  • Take to the seas with a fleet of optional ships and four unique factions to mix and match

Piracy is fun! Well, in theory it is. In truth, none of us really want a dirty guy with a cutlass threatening to evict us. However, it is a pretty vibrant genre to explore in video games, and the latest title to dive into the open sea is Auto Pirates from Featherweight Games!

Called a competitive player-versus-world strategy game, Auto Pirates gives you free reign to choose your crew and outfit your ship before setting sail for battle. You’ll earn loot based on your global rank, and the developers promise no pay-to-win or grind-to-win tactics. Fingers crossed that’s the case!

Functioning as a deck-building auto-battler, you'll combine pirates from four distinct fantasy factions and use magical relics and a vast fleet of ships to create your perfect team.

Featherweight Games is a developer with pedigree, having previously released the fantastic Botworld Adventures. I'm curious to see how they tackle the problem of keeping Auto Pirates out of that pay-to-win maelstrom, because usually when I see auto-battler games they tend to lean towards that.

But if it succeeds, Auto Pirates will surely become a new favorite for those looking for an Auto Battler that focuses on strategy rather than who has the rarest character.
