Magic Chess: Go Go, developed by Moonton, is an engaging auto-battler strategy game set in the Mobile Legends universe. It blends chess with hero-based tactics, challenging players to craft powerful team compositions using heroes from Mobile Legends. While the game is fresh on the scene, its auto-chess system is a familiar concept seen in various other games. This beginner's guide will illuminate the core mechanics and unique features that distinguish Magic Chess: Go Go from its competitors. Let's dive in!
Understanding the Gameplay Mechanics of Magic Chess: Go Go
Magic Chess: Go Go is an offshoot of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB), a renowned MOBA by Moonton. The developers have taken MLBB's "Magic Chess" mode and transformed it into a standalone game with exciting new features. The game adheres to the auto-chess genre, starting players with a limited hero roster that expands as they progress through rounds. The objective is to engage in multiple battles, where winning directly impacts the opponent's HP, keeping you at the top and safeguarding your health.
Each hero has a designated position; for instance, Chang’e is a backline hero, effective at dealing damage from a distance. The game includes various rounds like hero and creep rounds. Before diving into the gameplay, it's crucial to complete the tutorial, which offers a visual walkthrough of all mechanics.
In Magic Chess: Go Go, your mission is to outlast seven other players in a chess-like setting. While the core mechanics mirror those in the original Magic Chess mode, this game boasts a broader selection of MLBB characters and equipment. A notable change is in the creep rounds, which now feature Go Go Cards alongside traditional equipment and crystals. This may evoke a sense of nostalgia for MLBB players, as Magic Chess essentially replicates the same mode with new heroes and equipment.
What are Hero Synergies?
In Magic Chess: Go Go, heroes are categorized into factions that interact with the synergy system. Hero synergies are additional buffs that enhance heroes from the same faction, proving invaluable in ranked and high-elo matches where experienced players leverage these synergies to boost their heroes' stats and utility. These buffs come in the form of overall stat increases, such as attack, defense, and MAX HP.
Go Go Pass
Similar to MLBB's Starlight battle pass, Magic Chess: Go Go offers the "Go Go Pass," available in Free and Premium versions. The premium rewards are accessible upon purchasing the premium pass. The pass is structured into multiple levels, which players can unlock by earning Pass experience. You can accumulate Pass XP by completing Daily, Weekly, and Special Tasks, as well as by using Diamonds to reach higher tier levels.
For an enhanced gaming experience, players can enjoy Magic Chess: Go Go on a larger screen using BlueStacks on their PC or laptop, along with a keyboard and mouse.
