Description by Plug In Digital (from Google Play)
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!

Comments on Shotgun King for Android

★★★★★ syahrizal zakaria · Oct 31, 2026
Exactly like how I remember playing it on PC. There nothing else to say, it's just a great and fun little quick roguelike. I do hope this; please tweak the mobile controls just a little more. Thanks for porting this!!!!
★★★★★ Something Right · Aug 28, 2026
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.
★★★★★ Trenton Lattrell · May 31, 2026
The chess accurate movement really blends well with the double barrel shotgun
★★☆☆☆ D · Jun 3, 2026
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.
★☆☆☆☆ M · Jul 16, 2026
If you choose not to sign into a Google account to play then the game will send you to a "failed to log in to google account" screen with only one button to try again to log in, I don't like being strong armed into logging in to an account I don't want to use, and there appears to be no other way to make the game run
