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!

加成效果不丰富 负面效果一堆 一点不爽就算了还贼无聊
THIS IS SO CREATIVE and fun. Even if you aren't for chess, I reccomend trying it out at least. The demo has less than the full version, so if you like it, you've got to like the full version even more.
я ненавижу шахмати после етой ігри!!!!!!
Oyunu korsan oynadığım zamanları da sayarsak 4 senedir oynuyorum ve gerçek eşi benzeri olmayan bir oyun. Roguelike oyunların hepsi zaten sektöre yenilik getirir genelde. hiçbiri birbirinin kopyası olmaz asla. işte dead cells'deki silahlar, sifudaki öldükçe yaşlanma, hadesteki lütuflar vesaire. shotgun kingde ise en eşsiz özellik ise satrancın istediği o strateji ve zekayı, bir hamle sonrasını düşünmeyi çok daha farklı bir şekilde ele alması. satrançla ilgili yapılan çok oyun bulamazsınız piyasada çünkü zaten satranç kendi kendine bin yıllarca gitmiş bir masa oyunu. yani satrancı değiştirip kendi yorumunuzu katıp daha güzel hale getirmek oldukça zordur ve shotgun kingde bunu başarmış yapımlardan bir tanesi. shotgun kingin benden onay almasının en büyük sebebi satranca getirdiği bu farklı bakış açısıdır. adamlar her geçen ay yeni modlar getiriyor, yeni kartlar çıkarıyor fakat gerçekten hiçbir yenilik getirmeseler de oynarım ve oynadım da. param olmadığı için aynı korsan sürümü saatlerce oynadım bi 200 saatim vardır. kısacası böyle bir oyun yapmayı başardığınız için sizi takdir ediyorum, halen indirip denemeyen varsa da popeyes kaçmaz menü fiyatına şu oyunu alıp oynamanızı tavsiye ediyorum.
Chess, but you make your own rules
