About Order Automatica
Order Automatica is a turn-based strategy game from New Beings that blends auto battler mechanics with secret society themes. Released in late 2026, it tasks players with building and arranging squads of allies on a grid, equipping them with items to boost power. The goal is to survive increasingly challenging enemy grids through careful positioning and synergy. Each victory unlocks new characters and upgrades, encouraging experimentation with different team compositions. The single-player campaign revolves around progressing through a gauntlet of battles while performing ritualistic upgrades. It’s a niche offering for fans of tactical grid-based combat, with a focus on long-term progression and customization.
Gameplay
The core loop involves drafting units, placing them on a 5x5 grid, and assigning items to enhance their abilities. Battles are turn-based but require planning several moves ahead, as enemy grids adapt to your strategy. Each session lasts 20, 30 minutes, with matches escalating in difficulty as you advance. The game emphasizes synergy: positioning a fire-based unit next to a water unit might trigger chain reactions, while specific item combinations can create powerful effects. Between battles, you’ll manage resources to craft gear and perform “rites” that boost team stats. Controls are straightforward, drag-and-drop for placement and item assignment, but mastering unit interactions takes time. The lack of multiplayer keeps the focus on perfecting builds, though later stages can feel repetitive without fresh challenges.
What Players Think
The PlayPile community gives Order Automatica a 7.8/10, with 68% of players completing the main campaign. Average playtime is 13.5 hours, and 52% of users describe the game as “satisfying but slow-paced.” Positive reviews praise the depth of unit synergies, while critics call the late-game “a slog of incremental upgrades.” Completion rate for all achievements is 22%, with 50+ trophies tied to specific team builds. Forum threads buzz with debates over optimal grid configurations, and 34% of players return for post-launch content updates. Critic scores average 74/100, with outlets like Strategy Weekly calling it “a solid but unambitious entry in the auto battler genre.”
PlayPile's Take
Order Automatica is worth a try for dedicated strategy fans who enjoy optimizing grid-based combat. At $24.99, it offers decent value for the depth of its progression systems, though the price feels steep for its relatively short campaign. With 50 achievements and unlockable units, there’s replayability for completionists. However, casual players may find the learning curve too steep and the late-game grind tedious. If you’ve enjoyed titles like Into the Spider-Verse or are craving a challenge-focused auto battler, this could hit the spot. Otherwise, wait for a sale.
