About this app

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!

That traitorous bishop was fatally wrong. My glorious reign will last for eternity within the hallowed halls of my divine castle, and my subjects, blind to their own hubris, shall pay dearly for their dire treason. *loads shotgun* Eat lead motherf***ers.

Really smart game with great presentation. The moment I loaded it up, the music, the style it all came together and so for the game to be fresh yet also having my chess knowledge come into play is really well done. plus I like the theme of the story, it's quirky and fun. played the demo for the whole 60 mins, please take my money, well done!

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!!!!
