About
Chess, but all your army has gone over to the white side, leaving you with nothing but your royal shotgun and your wounded pride. Carried by your dark folly, you decide it's time to teach those white pieces to fear the Shotgun King.
Every turn, you may either move your king or shoot at enemy pieces, after what you'll need to move again to reload your shotgun. Avoid checkmate and kill the enemy king to complete the floor. After each floor, you may choose between two random combinations of one upgrade for you and one upgrade for the other side. Choose wisely and keep on winning floors and you just may get your kingdom back.
The game features many unlockable cards, 20 ranks of difficulty, over 100 achievements to complete, an endless mode, an arcade-style chase mode, a new charnier mode where you go raiding the kingdom, mod support, and free content updates.
Runs may take ~20 minutes to complete.
Play with mouse and keyboard, or with a game controller.
Plays great on the Steam Deck!

positive critical· bar length = how often the theme comes up
Absolutely horrible amount of RNG being on your side required to win, like to a comical level
Un buen juego que te entretiene un buen rato y que te puede sacar algunos jajas y lo mejor esta traducido al español no como el señorito tobias israel mossad fox y tambien que me gusta mucho su apartado grafico.
Decent fun for a little while but nothing I could sink many hours in. Maybe like a 5/10.
chess is better without rng
King shooty with boomstick. make chess fun.
Shotgun + chess = fun
Honestly one of the best if not the best chess-themed rougelike. An engaging gameplay with many variables that always make each run feel different and unique. The replayability is crazy thanks to all the secrets, the achievments and the alternative modes like charnier. And the art style mixed with the story just makes my face smile every time i see it. Truly a game you should try
