About Auto Necrochess
Auto Necrochess is an auto battler with a necromancer twist: you put together an army of the dead, set it up across your lanes, then watch it fight on its own. The story is short and a little absurd. Out of work and out of options, a girl takes up necromancy and sets out to overthrow the King.
Between battles, you roll for new options, arrange your units and decide what to sell. Then the fight plays out without you, and the result shows whether your setup was any good. Skeletons and wizards fill out the cast, and books are part of your toolkit, though they only work from the right end of a lane.
It began life as a Halloween project, and you can play Auto Necrochess online in a browser tab using the mouse alone.
How to Play Auto Necrochess
- Press any key or click on the title screen to continue.
- Build your army from the options on offer. Press R, or use the mouse, to roll for new ones.
- Place units in your lanes. Books only work when they sit at the right end of a lane.
- Sell something you no longer need with S, or by clicking and holding it.
- Start the battle with the space bar, and press it again to pause the fight.
What to Expect in Auto Necrochess
The joy of an auto battler is the planning, and Auto Necrochess keeps that front and center. Battles run without your input, so all the skill goes into what you pick, where you place it and what you let go.
The look is bold and comic, with a purple-haired necromancer, grinning skulls and a hot pink logo, and the undead theme feels more playful than grim. It's a solo strategy game, and since you can play Auto Necrochess free with nothing more than a mouse, it suits a laptop on the couch as well as a desk.
Tips for Auto Necrochess
- Check where your books sit before every battle. One in the wrong spot does nothing.
- Roll when the options on offer do not fit your plan, instead of filling lanes with whatever shows up.
- Use the space bar pause to study a fight in progress and see where your setup breaks.
- Sell units that no longer pull their weight to make room for better ones.
- Pick a plan for your army early and build around it, rather than chasing every shiny unit.

Can I play Auto Necrochess on a Chromebook or phone?
A Chromebook is a good fit, since Auto Necrochess runs in a browser tab and works with nothing but a mouse or touchpad. On a phone it may load, but the units and lanes are small on a little screen. A laptop, desktop or Chromebook gives you the clearest view of the battlefield.
Is Auto Necrochess unblocked at school?
Auto Necrochess needs only a browser tab, with no download, plugin or login. Whether it opens on a school or library network depends on that network's filters, which we do not control. If it loads on your connection, it plays the same as anywhere else.
What is an auto battler like Auto Necrochess?
An auto battler is a strategy game where you build and arrange a team, then the fight plays out on its own. In Auto Necrochess, that means rolling for undead units, placing them in lanes and starting the battle. You never control units mid-fight, so all your skill goes into the setup before each round.
Can I play Auto Necrochess with only a mouse?
Yes. Every part of Auto Necrochess works with the mouse alone. The keyboard shortcuts are there for speed: R rolls, the space bar starts or pauses a battle, and S sells the selected thing. If you prefer, clicking and holding also sells, so you never have to touch the keyboard at all.
