Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate

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.

really enjoyable game, one of the few games i replay every now and then and still have a solid opinion about it (even through the losses i make, and the games i couldn't win, i enjoyed the good side of it)
though i will say my arrogance is the killer of my runs because i barely think twice before i move, mostly due to me not being an experienced chess person. that aside, i loved this game, i hope more content is dropped

Really good game, you'd think that this would be way easier than regular chess when you have a shotgun but if you keep advancing through the throne mode ranks then you're gonna see how this is harder and you have to actually try to outsmart a smart chess bot who has every piece while you only have a king with a shotgun
People say that the gameplay loop is repetitive and while that's true it's at least way more fun than regular chess because every run is different with the cards you pick, and while some people may hate struggling against the final rank on throne mode as a replay thing but I personally find it fun because most of the losses feel like I deserved it and I enjoy trying to outsmart the pieces over and over
And if you don't like throne mode there's endless mode and then chase mode, chase mode changes the game a lot but not too much so that's also pretty fun

I dont even know what to say, its peak, chess with shotgun i guess

awsome game. a really fun spin on chess that maintains the strategy and planning aspect of the original game.
incredibly replayable. so many different things to do every time.
Buy this now.

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 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tho ngl. I get that this is a roguelike and stuff but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 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
