Welcome to Metastarter
Every week, dozens of new autobattlers land on Steam and the App Store — and most of them vanish without anyone noticing. Metastarter exists to change that.
This is a daily-updated home for autobattler and auto-chess fans: new release coverage, honest first impressions, and rankings based on what players are actually saying — not marketing copy.
What you'll find here
- New releases — every notable autobattler that hits Steam or iOS, covered within days of launch.
- Weekly & monthly rankings — the best-rated games in the genre, ranked by real player reviews.
- Honest takes — if a game is rough, we'll say so. If it's a hidden gem, we'll tell you before everyone else does.
Why autobattlers?
There's something hypnotic about the genre — drafting, positioning, then watching your plan play out (or fall apart) in seconds. Whether you're chasing the next Teamfight Tactics or just want to know if that new auto chess game on Steam is worth your time, this is the place.
Metastarter is an independent project, written and curated by Sebastian Lindig. Thanks for stopping by.
