Despite being overrun with syndicates, gangs, and secret societies, White Spire has never descended into chaos for one reason: Momma Eeb. She was respected... she was loved... and unfortunately, she was murdered last week.
Eeb’s death has sent one question rippling through White Spire’s underworld: who is going to run the city?

🌍️ Wikipedia:
Dota Underlords is an auto battler game developed and published by Valve for Android, iOS, macOS, Microsoft Windows, and Linux. The game is based on a popular Dota 2 community created game mode called Dota Auto Chess, which was released in January 2019. Dota Underlords was first released free-to-play in early access in June 2019 before officially releasing on February 25, 2020.
Gameplay
Dota Underlords is an auto battler, a chess-inspired competitive strategy game, where players place characters, known as heroes, on an 8x8 grid-shaped battlefield. After a preparation phase, a team's heroes then automatically fight the opposing team without any further direct input from the player. A match features up to eight players online who take turns playing against each other in a one-on-one format, with the winner being the final player standing after eliminating all of the opposing heroes. In addition to the online matchmaking, single-player matches against bots is also featured, as well as a "freestyle" practice mode that puts no limits on hero combinations. Over the course of a match, players earn gold and experience points, which are used to upgrade heroes and other playable units to make them stronger. Players also make use of items, which give stat bonuses to units. The game also features a "duos" mode, allowing two players on separate boards, but sharing health and levels, to perform as a team, with the winning duo having the best combined damage totals by the end.
Development and release
Dota Underlords was developed and published by Valve for Android, iOS, macOS, Microsoft Windows, and Linux. It is based on Dota Auto Chess, a popular community created game mode within Dota 2, a game they also developed. Following Dota Auto Chess's release in January 2019, it quickly become a phenomenon, having over seven million players by April 2019, Valve had met with the mod's developers, the Chinese-based Drodo Studio, to discuss directly collaborating on a standalone version. However, the two companies were unable to come to an agreement, with them both stating that it was in their best interest to develop their own separate games, with Dota Underlords being Valve's project. The game was built using Valve's Source 2 game engine, making it the first game using that engine to be released on mobile platforms.
Valve announced Dota Underlords in May 2019, with it releasing in early access as a free-to-play game on June 20, 2019. where it saw over 1.5 million downloads and held a concurrent player count on Steam of over 200,000 within a few days. Features such as a replay system, ranked matchmaking, daily challenges and rewards, and a battle pass were added over time during its early access phase before it officially released on February 25, 2020. It features full cross-platform play between its PC and mobile versions, with players able to freely start games on one and finish it on another.
Reception
Polygon called it a clone of Dota Auto Chess, stating that while they thought Underlords was more appealing to new players, the many similarities to the original mod could make it hard for veterans of the genre to see a reason to play Underlords over it, adding that games need to be more "unique in order to survive" in a niche genre. Critics also compared and contrasted it with Artifact, another Valve-developed Dota spinoff game released around the same time that was seen as unsuccessful, as well as Teamfight Tactics, the League of Legends take on the genre. IGN considered Underlords to be the easiest auto battler to get into as a novice due in part to its user interface.

FLÈCHE BLANCHE ATTEND SON LEADER...
Métropole verticale où le jeu et le cran sont rois, Flèche blanche se situe juste au-delà de l'emprise de Pierrefort et Revtel. Elle est connue comme un paradis de contrebandiers à la morale élastique et aux nombreux habitants hauts en couleur. Bien qu'envahie d'organisations criminelles, de gangs et de sociétés secrètes, Flèche blanche n'a jamais sombré dans le chaos. C'est à une seule personne qu'elle le doit : Momma Eeb. Elle était admirée... elle était aimée... et malheureusement, elle a été assassinée la semaine dernière.
Depuis la mort d'Eeb, une question obsède les bas-fonds de Flèche blanche : qui va diriger la ville ?
STRATÉGIE GAGNANTE : recrutez des héros et améliorez-les pour augmenter leur puissance.
ALLIANCES ÉCLECTIQUES : chaque héros que vous recrutez peut former des alliances uniques. Si vous maximisez les alliances dans votre équipe, vous débloquerez des bonus puissants qui pourront anéantir vos rivaux.
UNDERLORDS : choisissez un des quatre Underlords pour diriger votre armée. Les Underlords sont des unités puissantes qui se battent sur le champ de bataille aux côtés de votre équipe. Chacun a son propre style de jeu, et ses propres avantages et capacités.
JEU INTERPLATEFORME : jouez sur la plateforme de votre choix et combattez des joueurs du monde entier facilement, quelle que soit leur plateforme. Vous êtes en retard ? Commencez une partie sur votre PC et terminez-la sur votre appareil mobile (et inversement). Votre profil dans Dota Underlords est partagé sur tous vos appareils. Ainsi, quel que soit celui sur lequel vous jouez, votre progression continue.
PARTIES CLASSÉES : tout le monde commence au bas de l'échelle. En jouant contre d'autres Underlords, vous grimperez dans le classement et prouverez que vous êtes digne de régner sur Flèche blanche.
TOURNOIS INTÉGRÉS : créez vos propres salles d'attentes et parties privées, puis invitez des spectateurs à regarder 8 Underlords en découdre.
PARTIES HORS LIGNE : avec une IA sophistiquée et quatre niveaux de difficulté différents, le mode hors ligne est idéal pour vous permettre de peaufiner vos stratégies. Mettez en pause et revenez à la partie quand bon vous semble.
ROTATIONS SAISONNIÈRES : chaque saison, nous dirons au revoir à certains héros, objets et alliances pour faire place à de nouveaux éléments qui modèleront l'univers toujours changeant d'Underlords.
