Order Automatica is a dark tactical roguelite where automated battles are won before they even begin. You build deadly synergies on a small 3×3 ritual grid, position units carefully, manipulate tiles and prepare for brutal encounters against demonic enemies. Enemies attack automatically, but victory depends entirely on your planning: one clever setup can trigger devastating chain reactions, and one mistake can end an entire run. The developer describes it as chess with demons.

Key features

Nine tiles is a feature, not a limitation

A small board means every placement is contested and no unit can be parked somewhere harmless. Large tactics grids let you hide a bad decision in empty space; a 3×3 does not, so the game can be genuinely hard without needing more enemies, more stats or longer battles. It also makes a run readable at a glance, which is why it works in short sessions.

The battle is the scoreboard, not the game

Because combat resolves on its own, all agency sits in the setup phase. That is a deliberate trade: you give up moment-to-moment reaction and get, in exchange, a game you can lose to your own reasoning rather than to your reflexes. It is the reason autobattlers keep attracting players who bounced off real-time tactics.

Chain reactions reward reading two steps ahead

Tile effects, unit merging, relics and curses interact, so the strongest boards are the ones where one trigger cascades. The design consequence is that power spikes feel earned rather than granted — you did not find a stronger item, you found an arrangement — and that is what keeps a nine-tile game from being solved in an afternoon.
