About the Game

Mate in Eleven (#M11) is Yet Another entry in the auto-battler format.

M11 offers a unique twist of engine-based "Perfect Combat" to the auto-battler, which takes combat RNG out of the equation.

Your positioning and your read on your opponent and their strategy is all that matters.

With reduced shop RNG as well, this game captures the "perfect knowledge" aspect of chess in the auto-battler format, while also allowing for players to think tactically.

This allows for the perfect competitive auto-battler, where your micro-adjustments, positioning, and economical decisions decide exactly where you will place every game.

Features

  • Ranked matchmaking

  • Custom lobbies (up to 8 players)

  • Bots for custom lobbies

  • Combat with engine lines for every position

  • Custom ELO system to measure yourself against other tacticians
