About
WizardChess is Deckbuilding Chess from a preposterous fantasy realm, invented by mysterious wizards. Multiple game modes challenge players to think on their feet and balance tactics with speed: hit the Arcade for quick, replayable runs or explore the world in Story mode. Whether you're an amateur or an expert WizardChess has something for Grandma's and Grand Masters alike.

Manoeuvre specialized units (of 50+ unique classes) in emergent, often unhinged, turn-based combat and use unique skills to defeat enemy units. Much like chess, small errors can (and often will) lead to harsh consequences. Unlike chess, your pieces are enchanted and have ATK, DEF and SKL stats... and your opponent(s) are the Fae.

Recruit, upgrade, sacrifice, trade and gamble your units away to create the most powerful build you can. Learn the systems, unlock the full pool of units and take calculated risks and maybe you’ll defeat the Fae Queen herself.
WizardChess is entirely procedurally generated. Every run, every room, every tile, every item, and every unit is determined by a combination of luck and a dynamic response to your playstyle. Each biome features unique rooms, enemies and a boss with its own opponent "style" and scaling difficulty.
TwoPM consists of Ben Follington and Ricky James, both based in Queensland, Australia. We've been best friends for about 15 years and have been making games for almost as long.

this game rocks so insanely hard
BEST GAME EVERRRRRRR
Well, the game is not bad but there are so many games and only a limited amount of time, hence play a better game. I like the look of the game and the humor but gameplay itself is strange. It's not completely clear what each unit does. (Not everything is in the right-click descriptions.) The enemy units seem to make random turns. Bringing your units into position is cumbersome. If you like a strategic battle game, better play Into the breach.
has alot of potential imo :)

[/quote] [h2]You're a Wizard![/h2] Wizard Chess is intriguing because it uses the traditional concept of chess. (Protect your King) in this case the Wizard and is based on a turn-based roguelike in which you select your own deck (units) and use their special effects to survive each stage while keeping them all alive. So you might get the Rogue, who can attack in any direction and move straight and diagonally across the board. You might acquire a Lancer that can dash a few steps and one-shot anything with a single strike. Sounds interesting until you discover that each unit you can obtain, the opponent can also get and use against you, resulting in a rather strategy-filled tactical game that is both enjoyable and engaging. Difficulty-wise, it doesn't appear to be that hard; it's hardly a stroll in the park, especially with the time-limited levels and challenge modes, but mixing different troops and upgrades will undoubtedly be exciting, just be sure to protect your Wizard at all costs.
Went in thinking it'll be a typical styled chess game, but oh boy was i wrong. Definitely a fun strategy roguelite with chess-lite mechanics. A blast to play.
No link with chess. Obvious design flaws. AI makes no sense. WTF is this game?
it's wizard playing chess :O !!!!
