RPG CHESS - A TURN-BASED RPG, EXCEPT IT'S ALSO CHESS!

Step into a world where every move is a potential battle for glory! RPG Chess reimagines the classic game of chess as an epic turn-based RPG adventure, combining strategy, combat, and other beloved RPG elements in a way you've never experienced before.

FEATURES:

  • Strategic Chess Gameplay with an RPG Twist:
    Every attack initiates a battle! Instead of capturing pieces, you’ll enter intense 1v1 combat sequences where your piece must fight for victory. The outcome depends on your strategy, piece level, and skill in battle. While the attacker gets the first move, the targeted piece finally gets to fight back!

  • Piece Progression and Leveling:

    Each time a piece moves, fights, or secures victory in combat, it gains valuable experience points. Level up your heroes to unlock stronger abilities and stat boosts, transforming even a humble pawn into a mighty warrior.

  • Branching Evolution Paths:

    As your pieces level up, you’ll decide how they grow. Choose from multiple ability trees and evolve each piece into a specialized role. Turn a rook into a tanky fortress, a bishop into a master of healing, or a queen into a destructive powerhouse. Your strategy will shape your army.

  • Immersive Single-Player Adventure:

    Lead your pieces through a grand journey across diverse boards and environments. Encounter rival armies, legendary foes, and epic boss battles as you uncover the secrets of the chess realm. In this mode, the experience and levels your pieces gain carry over from board to board, allowing you to shape your team into an unstoppable force.

  • Online Duels:

    Test your strategy and combat skills by challenging players from around the world in exciting 1v1 online matches! Team up with a friend in co-op 2v2 mode, combining your strategies to outmaneuver and outfight opposing teams. Whether you prefer going head-to-head or working together, multiplayer offers endless opportunities for competitive and cooperative fun.

BUILD YOUR ARMY. MASTER THE BOARD. EXCEL IN COMBAT.

Forge your path as a tactician and warrior in RPG Chess. Every move shapes your pieces, and every battle brings you closer to ultimate triumph.
