10d chess
In short: The best version of chess I've played in a long time. Addictive, fun and surprisingly complex once it gets going In long: It's a turn-based rogue-lite. You control 3 mechs with various abilities (these are some form of damage, push and status effect) and have to execute your turn in such a way that the enemy deals minimum damage to your buildings (too much of that and you lose) while you kill as many of them as possible and try to somehow fulfill extra objectives also .You can see what your opponents will do on their turn (giant insects to fit the kaiju theme) and can plan accordingly. Sounds simple right? Especially since the whole things happens on an 8X8 grid. But turn can get very very complicated as you try to fulfill your objectives (that's how you get payed) while not dying or losing mechs. And here is where the chess comparison comes in. You have full information - all you need to do is use it to the max. It's a very simple and fun tactical challenge and the mech variants as well as the equipment that can be acquired adds enough complexity to keep me coming back again and again.
Is this helpful to you?
