Order Automatica, a dark tactical roguelite built around automated battles and careful unit placement, launched across major gaming platforms on September 4. Developed by solo developer New Beings, the indie title combines compact board-based combat, demonic imagery and roguelite progression in a strategy-focused experience priced at $5.99.
Order Automatica Brings Tactical Auto-Battler Gameplay to Multiple Platforms
Published in partnership with better. publishing, with Comma 49 serving as the publishing partner for the Asia-Pacific region, Order Automatica is available on PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, PlayStation, iOS and Android.
Ahead of the full release, the game’s Steam demo received 100% positive reviews, providing an early indication of interest among players looking for strategy games built around experimentation and tactical decision-making.
The full release expands that concept with additional challenges, unlockable units and increasingly difficult encounters.
Battles Take Place on a Compact 3×3 Board
At the center of Order Automatica is a series of rituals presented as battles on a 3×3 grid. Unlike traditional turn-based strategy games, combat itself unfolds automatically once the encounter begins.
Positioning Units Is Central to Each Battle
Players must decide where to position their demonic minions before combat starts. Because the fighting is automated, preparation and placement can determine whether a team survives or is overwhelmed.
The system puts an emphasis on understanding how different units interact rather than relying on direct control during combat. Players must consider abilities, statistics and positioning while assembling combinations capable of defeating increasingly powerful enemies.
As the campaign progresses, additional powers and units become available. Each unit features its own abilities, upgrades and attributes, creating opportunities to develop new synergies and adjust strategies between encounters.
Dark Pixel-Art Style Supports the Roguelite Setting
The game’s presentation draws heavily on horror and occult imagery, with demons and other supernatural enemies represented through dark pixel-art portraits.
That visual approach complements the game’s ritual-based structure while giving Order Automatica a distinct identity within the crowded indie roguelite and auto-battler markets.
Despite its ominous atmosphere, the focus remains firmly on strategy. Players are encouraged to experiment with different formations and combinations as enemy armies become progressively more difficult.
Order Automatica Available on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Switch and Mobile
The game has launched on PC through Steam and GOG, as well as Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. Mobile versions are also available for iOS and Android devices.
The standard price is $5.99.
A 20% launch discount is being offered for two weeks on selected platforms, including PC, Nintendo Switch and Xbox. PC players can also find Order Automatica in bundles featuring indie games such as Backpack Hero, The Dungeon Beneath and Death Howl.
The title is additionally included in a special Humble Bundle tied to PAX West 2026, alongside other independent games.
Different Studios Handled Console and iOS Versions
While New Beings developed the original game, additional studios contributed to bringing Order Automatica to other platforms.
The console editions were developed by Draw Distance, while Pixel Perfect Dude handled the iOS release. The multi-platform approach gives the game a broad reach at launch, covering desktop, current and previous-generation consoles, and mobile devices.
With its $5.99 standard price, compact 3×3 battle system and emphasis on strategic preparation, Order Automatica enters the indie market as an accessible auto-battler designed around experimentation, unit synergies and increasingly demanding encounters.
