Description

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. Runs may take ~20 minutes to complete. The game features 15 ranks of difficulty, unlockable cards, over 100 achievements to complete, an endless mode, and now a chase mode where you get continually assailed from all sides!

  • Fun game but no save feature??

    The game is good. Runs well on mobile. But the lack of no save while in the middle of a run HURTS. I can’t start a game on a lunch break and then get back into it after work. So there’s just no reason to play it until later in the day when I get time for a full session. That really sucks.

  • Good fun short lived

    Very fun mechanics with a lot to be desired secret wise. Game would benefit a ton from more secret unlockable cards and weapons. The basic gameplay loop offers a good amount of different self induced skills and challenges, but they become repetitive relatively quickly.

  • Hard lock issue, v1.0.8

    Bug report: hard lock/hang when loafers were activated, and I used the directional fire stick function Selected target visually then hung indefinitely

  • Fun but incomplete

    Game is a lot of fun, but I not being able to save progress mid run is a show stopper. Usually only have 5 minutes to hop into the game and seeing that my progress is wiped constantly is a killer.

  • Amazing game

    Seen this game randomly and became addicted very fast. Easy to learn and fun to play over and over again. Has good strategic game play. Highly recommended

    Great twist on Chess! Didn’t look like a game I’d usually try, but I’m glad I did! Simple to learn, and gives you much freedom in different strategies, and challenging enough to keep you on your toes without ever feeling unfair. 10/10

  • Pretty darn good

    Good stuff worth the bucks

  • Poorly Balanced

    I’ve played damn near every roguelike and the balance here is insanely poor. The gimmick is every time you get a boon between rounds, the opponent does as well. The problem is the opponent’s buffs makes yours seem like pennies. Example boon is kill your range to get a tiny blade that only works when you’re next to an opponent and they have low health. Basically get up close where it’s most dangerous - essentially a nerf. Meanwhile your opponent can get a rook which is a one hit kill enemy with 10+ range in 4 directions. It’s silly. Only a few cards are actually good like a hilariously overpowered moat that walls off enemies. Got bored at the 4th ascension level. Regret buying.

  • Fantastic game, but needs a save feature

    Awesome roguelite, but a feature I think is very important in a mobile game is the ability to save and pickup the run later. Runs arent very long as is, but not being able to play incrementally during downtime is rough
