Short description
A turn-based RPG, except it’s also chess! Instead of capturing, your pieces fight in automated battles based on stats, elements and abilities. Build your team in roguelite tower runs, or battle friends or CPU's in 1v1 matches!
About this game
RPG CHESS - A TURN-BASED RPG, EXCEPT IT'S ALSO CHESS Every capture triggers a battle. RPG Chess reimagines chess as a turn-based strategy game with classic RPG combat: your pieces fight with stats, elements and abilities, and the game is won by defeating the enemy King. EVERY CAPTURE IS A BATTLE Move a piece onto an enemy and the board gives way to a 1v1 duel. Both sides secretly queue two commands, then watch them resolve in speed order. Land a knockout, or win on remaining HP when both pieces survive. Winner claims the square. Damage carries across the game, so every fight you pick makes the next one riskier. LEVEL UP BY PLAYING CHESS Your pieces gain experience from moving on the board. Push a pawn up the file, or position a bishop to threaten the King. Every move can level up your piece and have it grow stronger, unlocking new abilities. 100+ ABILITIES ACROSS 6 ELEMENTS Over 100 unique abilities, each with its own cinematic animation and effect. A piece's primary ability sets its element, so every loadout choice is also a choice about what that piece is strong and weak against. Fire, Water, Air and Earth counter each other in a classic cycle, while Light and Void are locked in a mutual rivalry that cuts both ways. Match a piece's element to its attack for bonus damage. You start with a set of 32 abilities and unlock the rest naturally as you play. BUILD YOUR TEAM Assemble your army in the Team Builder and shape it with your ability collection. Because a piece's primary ability decides its element, building a loadout means deciding your team's coverage across the whole board. Your King matters most of all: The ability you equip there sets the King's element and becomes your team ability, strengthening every piece you field and granting a board-wide passive for the entire game. ASCENSION - THE ROGUELITE CAMPAIGN Draft a starting army and climb the King's Tower: 16 hand-built floors, each guarded by a unique King with their own signature power. Recruit defeated enemies into your army, level your pieces across floors, and adapt as the board shape changes beneath you. Turn on permadeath and a single lost game ends the run.
