ChessLocke
ChessLocke is chess with RPG elements. Your pieces gain experience points, level ups, and new abilities to unlock and upgrade as you progress through a campaign where every game is unique.
ChessLocke uses standard Chess movements on an 8×8 game board, but your pieces will also have a set of new abilities to help you win games. The object of ChessLocke is to land on the enemy Throne and stay there for 1 turn. The Throne is simply the square where the Kings always start. Unlike traditional Chess, if the King is captured, the game continues.
Once a game ends, your total experience points (XP) will be accumulated to spend on new abilities and upgrades for those abilities. You will accumulate XP by winning games, capturing enemy pieces, and other various achievements. Each power piece has 3 unique abilities to help win games that may assist in capturing enemy pieces, defending ally pieces, and other utility. For example, the Knight has a Joust ability, which allows a straight-line attack. The Bishop has a Revive ability, which allows the player to bring back a removed piece. The King has Dub Knight, which allows a Pawn to be promoted to Knight for the rest of the game. Players will decide which abilities to purchase to use in game.
The single-player Campaign consists of 50 missions where piece placements are different for each game. For example, your Rooks may swap places with your Bishops, you might start with only 5 Pawns, or maybe your Knights start on the 3rd row. There may be Walls placed on certain squares in a game where neither player may land nor pass through, however Knights can jump over Walls as they can jump over ally or enemy pieces.
Completing the Campaign unlocks the Dungeon, which is 50 more missions, but instead of each mission having equal pieces and advantages, the Dungeon’s opponent will have more pieces and better advantages positional. Each mission will be like a puzzle you must solve.

Очень популярные когда-то шахматные задачки перекочевали в цифру. Но теперь еще и с ролевыми элементами. Суть проста, геймплей сложен : у нас есть миссии, с по-особому расставленными фигурами, есть для каждой фигуры свой набор спеллов, которые мы можем покупать и апгрейдить за полученное хр, задача же-занять трон противника. Свежий и сложный взгляд на вечную игру. Любителям шахмат и логических задач точно должно приглянуться. Поломать голову придется прилично.

ChessLocke: A Wonderful Blend of Chess and RPG
ChessLocke is a unique combination of classic chess with role-playing game elements that will surely delight everyone!
The game's distinguishing feature is the leveling up of pieces, allowing them to evolve and acquire unique abilities. Experience is gained through victories, capturing opponent's pieces, and completing various achievements.
Each level has its own map with different piece placements and obstacles, adding a layer of complexity and challenging players to come up with new strategies. The walls on the board serve as an interesting barrier that only the knight can overcome due to its characteristic move.
Additionally, each side has a throne that can be captured, shortening the game. However, hunting down every opponent's piece is more rewarding in terms of experience.
As they unlock experience, pieces gain access to three unique abilities that can be upgraded. This adds depth to the strategy and makes each game unique. However, keep in mind that the opponent also has access to these abilities, creating an additional element of surprise.
At the time of writing the review, the game features around 100 levels that can be completed in one go. The multiplayer component is also enjoyable, allowing players to compete and exchange strategies with friends or random opponents.
Overall, ChessLocke is a captivating blend of chess and RPG. The leveling up of pieces, unique abilities, and variety of levels create an engaging gameplay experience, while the multiplayer aspect adds extra excitement and opportunities to play with friends!
