Dota Underlords is now available in open beta on Steam as well as on iOS and Android devices.
The game, which is Valve's take on the Dota Auto Chess mod for Dota 2, is going to stay in Early Access for a few months, as tweaks and new features will be implemented. Among the features planned are Ranked Matchmaking, Seasonal Rotations and more. Offline play, daily challenges, and progression mechanics will also be added in the future.
Four Underlords to choose from. Choose an Underlord persona from our ever-expanding roster that fits your play style. With unique gameplay-affecting changes, there's an Underlord for everyone.
Ranked Matchmaking. Everyone starts at the bottom, but by playing against other Underlords you'll climb through the ranks and prove you're the right person to rule White Spire.
Battle Pass. This will introduce progression, cosmetics, custom boards, and a host of other new features to the Dota Underlords experience.
Seasonal Rotations. Every season we'll say goodbye to certain Heroes, Items, and Alliances to make room for new additions that will shape the ever-evolving world of Dota Underlords.
Tournament-Ready. Create your own private lobbies and matches, then invite spectators to watch the Underlords' crews duke it out.
Additionally, Dota Underlords currently features crossplay between the PC and mobile versions.
Dota Underlords isn't the only Dota spin-off developed by Valve in recent times. Artifact has been released a while back, but it didn't turn out as successful as the developer hoped.
