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!

This is a great game. Just here is a bug report: Discovered attacks immediately kill you and ignore folly shields.
A really fun combination of things that shouldn't work as well as they do. The idea is genuinely original, and turning chess into a roguelike with a shotgun is just brilliant. Simple, fun and surprisingly addictive.
Great game! very challenging and has made me think more carefully about my moves in actual chess haha
it is good
This game has great mechanics and is so creative
Коли починав грати, не думав, що влипну на 150+ годин. Дуже затягуючий геймплей, чим далі, тим складніше, купа ачівок, які хочеться зібрати, клятий останній левел на Престолі, який гріндиш годинами, щоб пощастило з картами. [b]Маленька порада початківцям: [/b] дивіться не тільки на ту фігуру, в яку стріляєте, а й ту що позаду неї. Самі глупі програші: коли вбиваєш пішака, а за ним стоїть слон/тура/королева, які тебе вбивають через твою ж необачність. За Українську великий + розробникам, вцілому дуже вдала гра. Рекомендасьон!
This game takes the base rules of chess, adds some new, ever-changing strategies thanks to the card system, and gives the black king a shotgun. It's a difficult game, but very rewarding when you figure it out. One note: it is advisable to turn off any screen flashing in the options before you get started.
