Description
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, an endless mode, and a chase mode where you get continually assailed from all sides!

Another mockery of the game of kings

It's effectively a turn based shooter on a chess board, nothing to do with the great game of chess and I strongly dislike it when these types of games make a mockery of a game that actually takes skill and training. There's no way this is worth £7 either, there's far better indie games with a vast amount of content for similar prices, this is repetitive and really offers nothing new or innovative to this gaming category.
