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!

this game is genuinely painful experience, there are so few white cards that add pawns, filling the back row with minor and major peices with no pawns to keep them from swarming you in the opening. there are so few black cards that are actually good, and very VERY little synergy between the cards (unless blessed by RNG). and maybe worst of all, the amount of content doesn't justify the price... I have never refunded in my life but there's a first time for everything I guess

The game is fun, but the game state is not saved when you change apps, so it is basically unplayable on mobile. The runs are not super long, but unless you have 15-20 min, you can't play the game. So you can't play it while pooping, you can't play it if you have children, etc. Very large oversight by the devs/porting team.

So, overall the game is a lot of fun. I'm enjoying most of my time with it, even when I lose a run. However, there is a glaring issue with this port, there is no saving or resuming this game. This may not have been much of an issue on PC, but on mobile the inability to stop and resume a run later is very frustrating. Even keeping the app open in the background is not a good workaround because half the time when I try that it will start the app over anyway and I will lose all progress on the run.
