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!

Absolutely horrible amount of RNG being on your side required to win, like to a comical level

Decent fun for a little while but nothing I could sink many hours in. Maybe like a 5/10.
i loved it theres some really cool twist and its just so fun . i really recomend this masterpiece . my day was horrible but wenn i played this it made my day good .
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.
Very fun. I enjoy the chess roguelike and the different modes you can play in it. There is story mode, and so many ways to play that between the rng of the cards and switching which gun you use. Also the endless mode is very fun. There are multiple endings to the game as well instead of just killing the white king.
