About this game
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!

Genuinely a very difficult game sometimes. It's chess, so expect sometimes to actually have to consider any given move's implications. Still a very fun game. Might recommend for console or PC because it doesn't preserve a run very well when I exit the app. Think this is a great game, tho not as pick up and play as it can be heady at times. This is the only reason this is four stars. There are obviously strats that don't take a lot of mental processing. But you still are 1 vs many all the time.

The game is fun! And as I keep playing I discover that there is more to the game that apparent at first. Though it seems a bit to easy. (at least at first). I wish they would build more upon traditional chess and then introduced weapons and graphics. I don't think there is anything like that or there(to my knowledge).
