About this game

Waves of progressively harder enemies fall from the sky

Corner and capture them to earn gold. All your pieces move each turn.

Use the gold to purchase reinforcements from the shop. Here you will find 10 new pieces to master (16 total)

Just to name a few: Artillery cannot move, but can capture unguarded pieces from anywhere on the board.

Jesters are a royal distraction, and prevent a piece from attacking anything else

Magnets pull pieces towards them. Rescue your own pieces from danger, or pull enemies into traps

Witches cast spells from across the board, turning enemy pieces into cursed pawns, rendering them unpromotable

If you run out of gold, don't worry. Normal pawns can be ranked up by capturing multiple enemy pieces with them

Highly ranked pawns can then be promoted to be better pieces, for free, even when the shop is closed

There are 4 difficulty settings, so even if you've never played chess before, there should be a level you can enjoy

In summary:

  • 10 new chess pieces to master (16 total, including the originals)

  • A somewhat competent AI

  • Procedurally fragmented boards to battle on

  • 4 difficulty settings

  • Ominous music and crispy sound effects

  • Helpful tips and instructions built into the UI, learn as you play.

  • Autosave (exit and resume whenever you want)

  • Detailed stat tracking
