About this game

Checkers meets guns! Get ready for a fast-paced strategy-action duel!

Twin Stick Checkers completely flips the classic board game, turning it into chaotic, real-time combat. Now, every single piece is also a turret you control, opening up loads of tactical options for shooting, defending, and even sacrificing.

Go head-to-head against the AI if you're playing solo, challenge a friend in local couch co-op multiplayer, or jump online for battles using Steam Remote Play Together.

The core of the game remains familiar: an 8x8 board and two opposing armies aiming to capture pieces.

However, the battlefield has evolved. Now, every piece possesses enhanced capabilities:

  • Firepower: Pieces can shoot bullets in any direction.

  • Defense: They can activate shields to block incoming attacks.

  • Tactics: Action meters are available for both offensive and defensive maneuvers.

Success hinges on more than just captures; it demands strategic planning, superior positioning, and impeccable timing.

Each unit functions as a mini turret on the battlefield.

Unit capabilities include:

  • Health

  • Ammo

  • Shooting direction

  • Tactical positioning

Shots can ricochet off the board walls, leading to chaotic crossfire.

A crucial consideration: friendly fire is a real threat.

Twin Stick Checkers supports multiple ways to play:

  • Play Solo vs AI
    Practice strategies or challenge increasingly difficult opponents.

  • Local couch co-op multiplayer
    Face off against a friend on the same computer.

  • Online Multiplayer (Remote Play Together)
    Invite friends online and play together. Only one copy of the game is required!
