About
Passant is a chess roguelike, where the rules can be twisted and unique pieces can be used to change the game.

Build your board by earning powerful pieces with unique rules, items to change the tide of battle, and badges that can twist all the rules to deliver victory. Beat match after match of increasing difficulty until you can beat the final boss and become a grandmaster.

Expands on the rules of chess:
Unique pieces, such as the Archbishop, Dragon Knight, Dragon King and more!
Twists on traditional chess, such as Atomic Chess, Reflecting Bishops and Zombie Pawns.
Usable items that can give you an advantage, such as freezing a piece, demoting a piece to a pawn, or promoting one of yours to a queen!

There are also challenge modes and increasing levels of AI difficulty, so beginners and grandmasters alike can enjoy the game.

Trully a bad game
Interesting game where u can use your brain also.
Apparently I'm really bad at chess... 10/10
Yeah the roguelike adding extra pieces and rule breakers works for chess! It's cool to figure out a new way to break the game, or just plow through with sharp chess play. It was good for 20 hours for me
Просто ужаснейшая локализация. Вот один пример; vы делаем не ходы, а повороты :). Всё же лучше бы её вообще не добавляли, играть с ней в любом случае невозможно, ничего не понятно. Визуал мне очень не понравился. Зашёл на lichess, и как же было приятно смотреть на 2д фигурки там после этой игры.... Насчёт геймплея, то он как-то не увлекает, я включил максимальную сложность, брал только сложных соперников, взял джокеров на деньги, потом просто фигурки покупал. Всё время побеждал особо не думая. Очень скептически отношусь к игре в шахматы с ботами. Может быть было бы интересно с этими фигурами поиграть против людей. Но это уже совсем другая история. В общем, игра какая-то странная, сделанная небрежно во всех аспектах
Pretty fun! It does have some issues it feels at times (eg if YOU are in check you MUST get out of check, but if the COMPUTER is in check but can kamikaze you, they can do that). It's pretty easy to break the game it feels, but I do look forward to seeing what all else is added. It's fun and unique, so it gets a recommend from me.
Not a fan. I guess it's a good example of the fact that you can't just ape Balatro but use another game instead of Poker and be fine. First off, it's ugly. I don't have a word to describe it, but UI looks very basic, and the pieces, oh god, instead of going for any established sort of figure presentations, the dev went for 3d models, and i'm sorry, when i can't tell a pawn from a bishop at a glance you may have a problem.
I love chess, and I am roughly a 1000 elo player, so I thought this game would be really fun. IT IS NOT REALLY FUN. Imagine telling a new player to chess your opponent is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Hikaru himself, how would that be fair or fun? The only three difficulties are Beginner, Normal and Challenge, and you would think Chellenge is what I am refering to, but this bot on normal plays like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 2000+ elo, how is this supposed to be fun??? I think there should be ELO SETTINGS for the bot you can adjust to fit your playing style, and if you want more challenge, increase it, like chess.com does. I want to like this game cause I love chess, but if it is always like this I may never be able to get into it for real
