Three Stars Autobattle is a game about building a little army and watching it fight. You play it in your browser. And now you can also play it on a Game Boy Advance and a Nintendo 64.
How a round plays
Buy. Place. Watch.
Every round you shop for heroes, put them on the board, and then the fight plays itself. Last one standing wins the match.
Shop
Spend your gold on heroes from a shop of five. Reroll if you don't like what you see, or save up and earn interest.
Place
Tanks in front, archers and mages behind them. Where a hero stands decides who it fights.
Fight
The battle runs on its own. Heroes attack, fill their mana and cast their abilities.
Combine
Three copies of a hero merge into a stronger one: ★★. Three of those make a ★★★.
The roster
74 heroes, 13 guilds, 10 banners
Every hero belongs to a guild and flies a banner. Field enough of the same kind and they unlock bonuses: Vanguards shield the line, Arcanists rain fire, the Swarm piles onto one target, and the Mirebloom rot whatever they touch.

Three ways to play
Same game, three machines
The rules are the same everywhere. A hero hits just as hard on a Game Boy as it does in your browser.
Autobattler 64
- Every hero rebuilt in low-poly 3D
- You against three bots
- Party mode: four friends, four controllers, one couch
- Your record saved on the cartridge
Autobattler Lite
- Every hero as a 16×16 pixel sprite
- You against three bots, on Easy, Normal or Hard
- A codex of every hero and guild
- Saves your settings and record
Seed 42
The same match on both
Start both consoles on the same seed and they play exactly the same match: the same shop, the same fights, the same damage numbers. Under the hood they run the very same rules code as the browser game.
Nintendo 64 · party mode
Four friends, one couch
Plug in four controllers and everyone plays at once. You all plan your boards side by side on a split screen, then every fight plays full screen for the whole room. While two armies clash, the other two players bet on who wins.
Party mode needs the Expansion Pak, which the Analogue 3D has built in.
The music video
Rolling for three stars
The game's own song, with every shot rendered by the game's engine and starring its heroes. Watch it on YouTube.
