Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate

This isn't technically Chess 2 but it's worth the 1500 years of waiting

It's hilarious how you can spend several turns blasting bishops, knights and pawns only to find yourself trapped by the rook you ignored in favor of focusing the King covering an entire file, a queen that was previously that one pawn you didn't pay attention and managed to reach the last rank and that one bishop you never managed to kill.
You realize that, even though you're a King piece armed with a lethal shotgun..
This is still a game of chess.
Checkmate.

7.5/10
As a timeless and excellent board game, chess has spawned countless variant games based on its rules. Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate is a unique electronic game among them, combining elements of chess, puzzles, and top-down 2D shooting in a Roguelike format, presenting players with a distinctive experience.
The importance of chess rules and strategic thinking may not provide enough excitement for players seeking fast-paced and thrilling experiences. Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate boldly combines shooting elements with traditional chess, and the Roguelike elements in the game add various choices and variables to each playthrough, offering players a unique gaming experience.
However, the game's drawbacks cannot be ignored. Despite appealing to players who are not big fans of traditional chess by incorporating exciting shooting elements and diverse Roguelike features, the turn-based combat and complex chess rules still create a certain learning curve for players. Additionally, as players progress and the difficulty increases, the game may lose its appeal over time. Many design aspects of the game, such as the wide spread of shotguns and the unreasonable Roguelike deck construction, also raise concerns.
In summary, Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate has a very innovative concept, but the actual gameplay experience may deviate slightly from players' expectations. Ultimately, it is a game that requires considerable thought, offers great difficulty, and lacks long-term appeal. It is recommended for chess variant enthusiasts and players interested in the game's genre to give it a try.

I thought I would learn how to play chess through this game.
I was wrong.

It's the best shotgun-based chess game I've ever played.
