The last few years have been all about Battle Royales, before that, Hero Shooters. Further back yet, MOBAs, Roguelikes, survival games, crafting games, CoD-style shooters, instrument-peripheral-based music games, the list goes on until we reach 1998, where the fad was 'well-constructed games featuring high-quality storytelling and gameplay'.
Maybe that fad will return, but it's not coming this year, because in 2019 we've got Auto Battlers like Dota Underlords, Teamfight Tactics and Auto Chess.
What am I playing?
Auto Battlers, or Auto Chesses — as they would be known if we stuck with calling it Auto Chess as a genre — are relatively new in the gaming world, entering the scene this year by way of Drodo's custom map on the Dota 2 Arcade, where it single-handedly reminded non-Dota players that Dota 2 exists.
