is a high-concept strategy roguelike that reimagines chess as a brutal, single-player survival game. You play as the Black King, abandoned by your army and left with nothing but a double-barreled shotgun to reclaim your throne. Gameplay Mechanics
Critics and users generally praise the game for its addictive "one-more-run" quality and unique premise. Go to product viewer dialog for this item. Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate
Killing high-value pieces like Knights or Queens grants "souls," allowing you to move exactly like that piece for one turn to escape danger.
A standard run consists of 12 floors. After each victory, you choose between two sets of cards. Each set contains a boon for you (e.g., more damage, larger clip) and a bane that strengthens the White army (e.g., extra pieces, new enemy abilities). Review Summary
Instead of capturing pieces traditionally, you blast them away. You have limited ammo—usually two shells—and must move to reload.
