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 5 difficulties, plus an endless mode!

I suck at normal chess, so this game is a great escape from that fact. Don't get me wrong, I suck at this too but a bit less

My boi taking down an entire kingdom of evil with a shotgun. Are they evil? Eh thats for the historians to decide, and history is written by the victors.

Thanks to this game I realized that chess really needed a shotgun. Perfect game for Steam Deck – fun, short, replayable and only 100 Mb in size

This is the most beautiful chesslike game I ever played. Balanced enough, regularly updated. I still wait for diagonal shield`s trigger bugfix :)

If you like chess, this game is for you. A fresh take on the game to the point of not being chess, but still has some of the bones. It was a truly addicting game. I highly recommend. Works great on Steam Deck and 64 bit Intel MacOS as well.

incredibly replayable. so many different things to do every time.

The design of the game is honestly genius, you wouldn't expect it from a game named like this, but the white and black card system is SO well made. The amount of builds both sides of the board have is astonishing and managing the cards in such a way to not screw yourself up while also making yourself stronger is so satysfying. The interactions cards have with each other is really well thought out and the way it keeps it's chess theme is really cool. The devs came up with so many cool ideas to really expand the idea of the chess board while still keeping it's soul. Sound design and music is very fitting and just plain neat. When it comes to achivements they're kinda bullshit tho ngl. I get that this is a roguelike and stuff but holy shit making 70% of achivements be about RNG is psychotic and grinding them is so random, fortunately however in one of the updates the devs added the search mechanic which allows you to reroll cards if you have some other cards which and it makes the grind way better, although I do have to admit most of the builds achivements want you to get are kinda cool and really show off some great interactions.
Game is peak but DO NOT GO FOR 100% PLEASE
