About this game

A chess-derived game that shares the original pieces and square mechanics, but buffs the gameplay and strategy possibilities with the introduction of spells, items, game elements, and much more.

Dunchess is in Early Access, so what you get today is the online multiplayer game: full matches against other players, with all the spells, items, elements and dungeons listed below. We're still building on top of that, and we're still balancing what's already there.

Spells

All pieces in game have special abilities that almost infinitely expand the possibilities of your strategy and gameplay.

Items

Search and find different items in game that allow your strategy to be absolutely unpredictable to your opponents!

Elements

All dungeons are elevated with in-game elements that players can interact with. Conquer vision crystals, find magic crowns that humiliate your opponent, use teleports to escape and find new places…

Dungeon board

Squares made of squares are boring, but dungeon made of squares? Now we're talking. Explore our collection of dungeons, get spooked and spook your enemies. Find the real challenge of the game by navigating through the mysteries of the dungeon's fog.
