A chess-like auto battler of infantry, tanks, and helicopters — who will dominate the desert?

In Auto Battle: Command & Counter, you take charge of an army where every choice matters. Will you rush forward with fearless infantry, hold steady with tanks, strike from above with helicopters, or build your economy for an unstoppable late-game push?

The battlefield feels calm at first, but once the waves of units begin clashing, chaos takes over. Your mission: destroy the enemy turrets before your opponent destroys yours.

How to play

  • Train units: Place riflemen, tanks, helicopters, and supply drones on your grid.

  • Upgrade units: Train a recruits into a special forces squad.

  • Spawn in waves: Units fight automatically in waves.

  • Rearrance: Rearrange your grid to surgically counter all enemy units.

  • Choose your path: Quick rush, economic buildup, or tricky mix of both.

Difficulty levels

  • Easy: for practicing and learning.

  • Moderate: a balanced fight.

  • Hard: only for the boldest commanders.

The desert awaits. The silence won’t last.

Will your army march to glory, or fall beneath the sand?
