Edycja
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!

Shotgun King takes the familiar logic of chess and twists it into a clever, chaotic roguelike where your only piece is a king armed with a shotgun. The core idea works brilliantly — it’s a fresh, genuinely fun reinterpretation of chess tactics, and the pixel-art style and tongue-in-cheek atmosphere fit the concept perfectly.
The game’s upgrade system is hit-and-miss: some cards drastically change the flow of a run, especially those that restrict enemy movement, while others feel marginal or even like filler. Since you’re always choosing from random pairs, luck can play too strong a role, and a single bad pick can haunt the rest of the run. Difficulty scaling itself is smooth.
Boss encounters are generally fine on their own, but the game hides a few secret bosses that are genuinely interesting. Discovering how to unlock them adds a nice layer of mystery and gives experienced players something extra to hunt for.
Movement and ammo management create satisfying tension — you need to plan ahead to avoid ending up cornered and empty. Runs tend to be short, which is nice for quick sessions, but dying deep into a run often kills the motivation to restart from scratch, especially if roguelike repetition isn’t your thing.
Overall, Shotgun King is a smart, stylish idea executed well. It’s an inventive twist on chess that’s worth trying if you know the basics — and you certainly don’t need to be a strong chess player to enjoy it.

If there was a religion which main point would be beliving in indie games supremacy, this game would be a sanctuary. All hail to people who want to create A GAME, not just "a well-selling product".
