Magic Chess: Go Go, developed by Moonton, is an exhilarating auto-battler strategy game set in the Mobile Legends universe. It masterfully combines chess elements with hero-based tactics, challenging players to craft formidable team compositions using a diverse range of heroes from Mobile Legends. Although relatively new, the auto-chess gameplay system has been a popular feature in many games before. This beginner's guide will illuminate the core game mechanics and highlight what makes Magic Chess: Go Go stand out from the crowd. Let’s dive in!
Understanding the Gameplay Mechanics of Magic Chess: Go Go
Magic Chess: Go Go is a spin-off from Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB), a MOBA sensation also by Moonton. The developers have taken the beloved “Magic Chess” mode from MLBB and transformed it into a standalone game with fresh additions. The game adheres to a classic auto-chess style where you begin with a limited roster of heroes, expanding it as you progress through rounds. The objective is to engage in multiple battles, with each victory chipping away at your opponent’s HP, thereby helping you maintain a top position and safeguard your own health.
Each hero is assigned a specific position on the board. For instance, Chang'e operates from the back line, dealing significant damage from a distance. The game features various rounds, including hero rounds and creep rounds. Before diving in, completing the tutorial is essential as it provides a visual walkthrough of the game mechanics, ensuring you're well-equipped to start playing.
Your goal in Magic Chess: Go Go is to outlast seven other players in a chess-inspired battle. While the core mechanics echo those of the original Magic Chess mode, this game boasts a broader selection of MLBB characters and equipment. A notable addition is the introduction of Go Go Cards in creep rounds, alongside traditional equipment and crystals, which might evoke a sense of nostalgia for MLBB players familiar with the Magic Chess mode but enhanced with new heroes and equipment.
What are Hero Synergies?
In Magic Chess: Go Go, each hero belongs to a specific faction, influencing their interaction with the game's synergy system. Hero synergies grant additional buffs to heroes from the same faction, significantly boosting their performance. These synergies are particularly advantageous in ranked and high-level play, where experienced players leverage heroes from the same faction to enhance their stats and gain extra utility buffs, such as increased attack, defense, and maximum HP.
Go Go Pass
Similar to MLBB's Starlight battle pass, Magic Chess: Go Go offers its own version called the “Go Go Pass.” Available in both Free and Premium variants, the premium rewards are accessible only upon purchasing the premium pass. The pass is structured into multiple levels, unlocked by accumulating Pass experience. You can earn Pass XP by completing Daily, Weekly, and Special Tasks, or by using Diamonds to advance to higher tiers.
For an enhanced gaming experience, players can enjoy Magic Chess: Go Go on a larger screen using their PC or laptop with BlueStacks, complemented by the precision of a keyboard and mouse.
