Chess Survivors

This a very fun twist in the survival game, I quite enjoyed it. If you know chess but don't like to play it, this is a pretty great opt to use that knowledge, worth the price.

Simple but can be exactly the thing you might want, a nice relaxing time mixing upgrades and trying out different characters, figuring out their gimmicks. 5 bucks for a bet on a few pleasant hours,

I was interested to see how Chess + Survivors would work and it definitely works. Not the most filled out or balanced but it's nice to click on specific tiles and see the results instead of just running around and hoping pixels don't overlap too much.

core gameplay deserves awards but only entertaining for a few hours.

Basic Not perfectly balanced but fun. Realistically not that deep but harder than you think because of RNG.

There are obvious points of praise like the art style and build variety, but what I found particularly impressive about this game was the way it ACTUALLY incorporated chess mechanics into the gameplay loop. I cannot wait to play more!

Chess Survivors is great, I highly recommend it! It shares some core concepts of Magic Survival/Vampire Survivors, where your character auto-fires its weapons, and you grow in power throughout a run as you defeat enemies, level up and beat stages. The enemies become more and more powerful and more frequent until you die or you beat Act 3 (or you can continue on in endless mode). As a chess fan I enjoyed how a lot of chess features were implemented, like how the enemy pieces move, the time controls and the gambit levels. The starting characters had a lot of variety in ways you could build out your character in a run and all the weapons were fun and unique.
