Order Automatica is heading to consoles, including Nintendo Switch, this July, the developers and publishers announced.
The title—originally developed by New Beings and published with support from Better Publishing—will be ported to consoles by Draw Distance and is expected as a digital download on storefronts such as the Nintendo eShop.
Background and release details
Order Automatica is described by its creators as a dark, tactical roguelite that combines auto-battler mechanics with tight, puzzle-like battlefield design.
Better Publishing and New Beings confirmed the console release window as July and named Draw Distance as the studio responsible for adapting the game for platforms including Nintendo Switch.
A gameplay trailer has been released by the teams to showcase the transition to consoles.
Gameplay and design
The game places players on compact 3×3 ritual grids where unit placement, synergies, and pre-battle decisions determine outcomes.
Although fights play out automatically, the developers emphasize that careful planning and unit composition drive success.
In journalistic terms: the teams explain the title plays like a tactical chess match against demonic adversaries, where foresight in the planning phase outweighs moment-to-moment control.
Key features (as presented by the developers)
- Tactical puzzle design: Matches unfold on small battlefields where placement and unit synergy are central to victory.
- Resource-driven progression: Limited recruitment and upgrades force players to prioritize choices and plan several moves ahead.
- Narrative tone: The game is set in a shadowy world of occult symbolism, featuring an ancient order and ritual mysteries.
- Replayability: Multiple game modes and artifact systems are intended to increase variety across runs.
- Visual and audio presentation: Order Automatica uses a dark pixel-art style paired with an atmospheric soundtrack to reinforce its tone.
What this means for Nintendo Switch players
The console port being handled by Draw Distance signals an effort to optimize the title for home and handheld play.
The teams have indicated the release will be available as a digital download; players can expect the Nintendo eShop to be the distribution channel on Nintendo Switch.
Interested players can view the official gameplay trailer released alongside the announcement for a first look at combat, art direction, and UI adapted for consoles.
This July release places Order Automatica among incoming indie roguelites on Nintendo Switch, offering a compact, strategy-forward auto-battler experience for fans of tactical planning and dark pixel-art aesthetics.
