What is Battle Medal: Super Auto Chess Swarm War?
Imagine if a tower defense game and an autobattler had a baby, and then that baby became obsessed with army spamming. That's Battle Medal: Super Auto Chess Swarm War, a chaotic indie project that trades competitive metas for pure, unadulterated carnage.
Gameplay
You're not climbing a sweaty ranked ladder here. Instead, you're diving into a weird hybrid that mixes a lite-Roguelike with autobattler mechanics and a dash of tower defense. Your main goal is army spamming; you'll command a swarm of 80+ units and try to trigger 16 different synergies to wipe out invaders. The real hook is the Medals. You craft over 10 exclusive medals that shift how your run plays out, which keeps things from feeling repetitive.
It's not polished, though. This is a passion project from a solo dev, and it shows. You'll find some rough edges and jank that make it feel like a prototype rather than a finished product. But that's part of the charm. It doesn't feel like a corporate balance sheet; it's just about seeing how many units you can cram on screen at once.
At $7.99, it's a bit odd since most autobattlers are free-to-play, but you're paying for a chaotic power trip. It's not trying to be a balanced eSport like TFT. It's a simple, satisfying loop of building an oversized army and watching it crash into things. If you want deep, complex systems, you won't find them here, but the carnage is worth the entry fee.

Verdict
I'd give it a 7/10. Grab this if you want a cheap, janky power trip to kill a few hours, but skip it if you're looking for a polished, balanced competitive experience.
