Description
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 15 ranks of difficulty, unlockable cards, over 100 achievements to complete, an endless mode, and now a chase mode where you get continually assailed from all sides!

Very fun, well-made game that executes well on the base concept. My only complaint is that there's no way to save progress on a run, and the game resets if you don't play for long enough. With save files it would be an easy 5 stars.

Did see this game on pc at first. I did play it before and it was very fun. I like this sort of roguelike games. Very fun indeed. For me, I give it 9 shotgun shells out of 10 shotgun shells.

Good game, had it on Steam for a long while, glad to see it on mobile.

Excellent concept of Roguelike game. I used to play chess a lot and this game is an excellent and fun way to come back without the pressure of losing any ELO points. One thing I kinda don't like is the touch control when shooting is a bit off and sometimes not accurate. But luckily it has a full native support for plug and play controllers lile game sir x3 pro. So I suggest to play this with a controller for a better experience, also I wish they improve the touch control.

I bought this thinking it could be a really fun spin on chess. It's not. Chess is really just a thematic backdrop to a game about studying and understanding a massive array of random power ups and how they will affect you. Most power ups just make things more complicated to track, so you have to go more and more slowly. I also absolutely will not get over the fact that the opposing king is allowed to put you in check; just makes no sense if you play chess and removes a lot of strategic interest.

Great game but like others have said, the inability to save progress mid-run makes it unplayable. If you switch to another app, you have to start the run over. Literally the only thing that takes this from 5 stars to 1.

The game is pretty fun, but it has some issues, mainly with the mobile experience: - text font and color can be hard to read on a phone screen - run cannot be saved (as far as I can see). For me, for a phone rogue-lite this is a dealbreaker. I play the game while waiting or on small downtime between activities, but losing all progress of a run because I couldn't play without a break makes me want to play something else instead

This game is genuinely painful experience, there are so few white cards that add pawns, filling the back row with minor and major pieces with no pawns to keep them from swarming you in the opening. There are so few black cards that are actually good, and very, VERY little synergy between the cards (unless blessed by RNG). And maybe worst of all, the amount of content doesn't justify the price... I have never refunded in my life, but there's a first time for everything I guess
