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!

이 병신겜은 버프카드에다 패널티를 쳐넣는 ㅄ 겜 제작자 엄마 뒤졌음
My subjects ain't getting away with this
개좆같은 확률을 경험해서 늘어지는 플레이 타임을 경험할 수 있는 게임

Drawing skill cards keeps this game fresh.
Simply amazing game. So much replayability and variety of play. There are a ton of achievements. It’s equally fun and frustrating. But I keep coming back. Perfect for short gaming sessions. Runs flawlessly on steam deck.
It was fun. Really fun. But then a feature that showed where enemies could attack was locked behind cheat codes and I can no longer recommend, or play, the game.
Muy entretenido y rapido
游戏寿命5小时左右，不值这个价格，高难除了加血就是堆怪，愧称以rogue-like之名。
平衡性太差
