Games like Super Auto Pets
Erumaru and Super Auto Pets
Super Auto Pets by Team Wood Games is the friendly face of the genre: a free game from 2021 where you buy animals from a shop, feed them, merge copies and send a line of five into battle against teams built by other players. The asynchronous Arena means no waiting and no pressure, and ten lives give you room to lose
What they share
- Lives instead of sudden death: Super Auto Pets gives you lives, Erumaru gives you Heat that drops when you lose and comes back at rests
- No clock, no voice chat, no lobby staring at you. Both are games you can play with a cup of tea
- Merge copies to grow a unit, lean into a few synergies, place the line with care
Where Erumaru goes its own way
- Erumaru has no other players at all, not even their teams: every enemy is a mob of the land, an elite, a guardian or a boss with phases
- A full roguelite run with a branching map, 42 floors, events, relics and meta progression, instead of a series of quick fights
- A 2D board with movement, ranged heroes, mana and abilities, up to 10 heroes a side
- Heroes grow in more ways: stars, levels up to 100, six items, four perks, an Awakening

Is Erumaru as relaxed as Super Auto Pets?
In pace, yes: no timers, no opponents, save at any node. In depth it is closer to Dota Auto Chess or Teamfight Tactics, with items, abilities and a big board
