What is Relictor?
Relictor throws you into a post-apocalyptic wasteland where you command a mobile fortress of AI-driven modules instead of drafting units from a pool. It’s a survival-strategy hybrid that scratches that autobattler itch by letting you build the army from the ground up. You orchestrate the big picture while your bots handle the gritty work of exploration and combat.
Gameplay
Relictor is a weird, cool mix that doesn't really fit in a box, but if you're into the 'set it and forget it' vibe of autobattlers, you'll dig this. You're managing a massive mobile base in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, which feels way more focused on the 'management' side than Hearthstone Battlegrounds. Instead of just buying units from a shared pool like you do in TFT, you're building AI-driven modules—think tanks and gliders—to handle exploration, gathering resources, and fighting. The loop is all about optimizing your base and your bots so they can survive the terrain and crush enemies while you orchestrate the big picture. It hits that same itch of building a powerful engine and watching it execute, but it's definitely got some rough edges. It's developed by AIMTeam and it's got that 'indie grit' to it. Some of the UI is a bit clunky, and it's not as polished as the big studio titles. You'll spend a lot of time tweaking those AI paths, and when it clicks, it's satisfying, but the lack of polish can drag you down.

Verdict
If you're bored of the same old synergies and want something where you actually build the 'army' from the ground up, give it a shot. It's a fresh twist on the genre that's worth your time if you can handle a few bugs and clunky UI. Skip it if you want a polished, polished competitive experience like TFT.
