About
The Emperor wants gold, and you're just the wizard to get it. Journey into the depths with a Rook, an Archer, and maybe a spell or two. Upgrade your party, learn new skills yourself, and discover what’s really going on in the darkness below. Spend the gold you find to help you survive - or risk saving it for the Emperor.

No memorizing openings, long drawn-out endgames, or stalemates. Start with 1 piece instead of 16. Cast new pieces with exciting abilities onto the board. No analysis paralysis - enemy movement stays basic until you encounter the dungeon’s bosses… Collect Undo Tokens if you need ’em, or more gold if you don’t!

Post your epic victories as challenges to the community! Watch replays from top players to further improve your skills as you take on Daily Challenges in this massively single-player experience.

Answer simple questions based on your psychological state and relationships to your pieces as you progress through the depths of the Dungeon. Please answer openly and honestly. Your answers will not be used against you.

It's cool, but limited. I love chess, so want to love it but find this a little repetitive. It's super fun for a couple rounds, but I'm done. Not seeing a crazy challenge or any real unlocks of interest.
Awesome take on chess, lots of interesting additions!
Great concept and fantastic visual style.

Someone else said it as well -- it's like a worse version of Chess with stereotypical rogue-like mechanics thrown in.
Great twist on chess! The roguelike angle really keeps it interesting and the vector-style graphics really make it pop.
I dont know where or who I am, I just know I must chess.
6/10
Great game with some interesting ideas and I love to see what will still come in the future! As a former chess team player, the game is the right mix between normal chess thinking and tactics and gameplay. I can use my muscle memory but I have to think in new ways, too! I just played the game for a short time, will return to it later, but what I saw so far is an easy recommend. If you like chess or find it interesting, give this game a try!
Muy bueno!!!! Son puzles de ajedrez cada vez mas difíciles, la dificultad es gradual y muy fácil de aprender los movimientos o habilidades
I really enjoyed it! The gameplay mechanics and style are both very cool! Unlocking new pieces and skills constantly changed my strategies
