Been playing this a lot, awesome game! Click down the left stick to see where the opponent moving options! Helps a TON, also head up. The shaking pieces are the one moving next. This game is fairly deep, I like the blade builds! This means you can upgrade and one hit melee sometime with a stun if you get the upgrade card!
Oh snap! Ive been playing this on PC for a while and i didnt know it was coming to switch and getting a physical! I really like the "you and your enemy" power up system because it keeps the balance from being too overpowered on either side. Also protip: be careful who youre shooting at! If you kill a piece that has another piece behind it with a movement option towards you it will bypass your shields and kill you on the spot
@@voodooguitarz let's say on your board you're about to shoot a pawn that has a rook behind it. If you kill the pawn, the rook now has a clear path to checkmate you even if you have full shields. Same thing goes for bishops and especially queens. It's easy to overlook and I've lost a handful games that way
Certainly a neat premise. I dig the visual style too. Lovely review as usual gents, will definitely pop this on the wish list!

I love a bit of strategy. Recently finished Disgaea story mode. Even though I'm not a fan of chess myself, it looks like an entertaining game, well paced too.

@@Whocareslol420 I know that feeling, kind of an addiction.
As for the over saturation of roguelites we have, playing as a chess king with a shotguns sounds very innovative. I'll add this to my wishlist for sure
Honestly never heard of it until Glen mentioned it in a the upcoming games video series but I’m super hyped for it tbh ❤ so I’m glad you guys ended up reviewing this 🙌
Seen this game a while back played in the indie community. So excited its coming to the Switch! What a delightful mix of ideas. Love chess, enjoy rogulikes gonna be a grab down the line for me.
I can't believe something like this didn't already exist, seems like such a great and simple idea, can't wait to give it a try. I wonder if it'd actually help me not be awful at real chess as well lol 😅
if you didnt cover great games and make such convincing comments early on I'd finish more of your videos. Just gotta go download it now. Thanks for the look!
This looks so cool, I've had it in my wishlist since you mentioned it in a previous video, and i'm just waiting until I have the available funds to ull the trigger on it. Thanks for the review... and thank you to the developer for sponsoring you, I guess. 😅
I never liked these kinds of games until Vampire Survivors came out. Binding of Isaac almost got me, but I didn't like the art style or the creator's sophomoric sense of humor and I don't think I ever got very good at it lol but games like Vampire Survivors and Balatro have become my new obsession, this looks right up my alley.
Watching the game play, I'm surprised how they changed things to make it work on console. Working with a mouse to aim is more my style, though, so I'll keep playing on PC
I’m sad there is no meta progress.. it’s pretty much the only thing that can get me to buy a roguelike/light as I want to get stronger and have the game get easier the more I play..
I get that feeling, which is why I usually prefer Roguelites over Roguelikes. Maybe think about it like this: You don't get any stat increases, but you get another form of progression after each run: knowledge and skill.
@@matti_xiii yesh I know.. but i’m really not a fan of difficulty in games, that’s why I mostly play jrpgs so I can just grind away the difficulty if need be 😝 even roguelites are often too difficult for me to enjoy them. I wouldn’t mind them if you could, after playing dozens of hours, unlock skills that makes it a lot easier to finish the game. Never really found any game like that yet and reviews rarely talk in depth about the unlocks from meta progress so it’s hard to know..
Great idea for a mashup. Gotta be honest, playing chess makes me want to wield a shotgun sometimes. Just kidding YT. Don’t send the police to check me out. 😅
@@hands_of_stone Brotato is awesome. Very satisfying. Army of Ruin and Void Scrappers if you love Vampire Survivors. Dicey Dungeons is another favorite of mine and of course Hades.
Of course.... The black king... Can you imagine if they chose the white king shooting all the black pieces? Yeah, it's so obvious. If you could swap then maybe I'd buy it, but its obvious IYKYK

Looks like a fun game. Probably wouldn’t have given it a second look without these videos
I have been playing this on Steam for quite a while. Loads of fun.
Me too
I’ve played chess my whole life. This game definitely puts a fun spin on one of my favorite board games.

It's a great achivement to give the most classic game a Twist that actually works. Really cool!
Looks pretty interesting and fun. I love games that put a spin on "traditional" games. So many indie developers are great thinking outside the box
I bought this at lunch and I’m having a blast with it. Tough as nails though
At least 2 games i saw this week have "chess combat" mechanic in them. Almost as if "universe" decided: "This is the time for chess combat!!"
what are the others?
@@kjhansonkjhanson6643 There is a "chess Boss battle" in 9 years of shadow metroidvania game.
There is also a game on Steam called Chessplosion, which is a chess-themed version of Bomberman.
Great to see this gem come to Switch. Now just to get Pawnbarian ported over and we’ll have the two best chess roguelites around on here.

What do you mean by that last but - could you give an example?

@@nubocerbo ah right, yeah that makes sense and defo an important thing to keep in mind!
Makes me think of a Devolver Digital game… definitely on my radar… unless… we’ll, maybe 😉

I love chess, shooting, rogue-likes, tactics games, pixel art, and low prices... looks like we found a winner.
What a great time to be a gamer. I'm cycling through ShotgunKing, Blasphemous 2 and Bomb Rush Cyber Funk lately. Just incredible games!
To bad I can't equip my King with a shotgun otherwise, I would be a chess champion in no time.
It would be really funny if I this was the only form of Chess i ever learned how to play
Honestly never heard of it until Glen mentioned it in a the upcoming games video series but I’m super hyped for it tbh ❤ so I’m glad you guys ended up reviewing this 🙌
Parents: why don’t you go work on your chess
Me: alright then 😏
Looks really cool. It’s been on my wishlist for a bit. Your video encourages me to keep it on the list.

Honestly, I hadn't paid this one much notice since I thought it was just chess.
Looks like a lot of fun. Reckon I'll stick it on the wish list!
Shotguns and Chess... two of my favourite things.
Thank you so much for this recommendation I am having a blast on my day off. You guys are the best. I would not have learned about this game otherwise
Finally!
A version of chess I have a chance of beating my Mum at...
😂
This game looks absolutely amazing, it went on my wishlist *immediately*
How to reinvent chess: give them a freaking shotgun to shoot you in the freaking face! Love it :)
I was in chess club back in elementary, and now with my love of roguelites... this looks perfect! Wishlists immediately
What a great idea, Savaloy to D4
I was hoping you would cover this I just saw it last night!
I love chess, was actually on the Chess Team back in HS. What a fun take on an absolute classic.
I dont understand why it's 138 mb to download though 😭 that's about as much or more than cod or gta lol
if you didnt cover great games and make such convincing comments early on I'd finish more of your videos. Just gotta go download it now. Thanks for the look!
I have this on PC, got it in a bundle and it went straight to my backlog. I think I might need to try this one out.
Is that physical a retail release or a limited special kinda release because I do wanna pick this one up
This is a great pick up and play game. Was great on pc and will get it on switch,perfrct for when you have a spare 20 min
Very interested in playing this. Will go on my wishlist for sure.
This looks right up my alley. I love roguelites with a twist
Hope you both had a great holiday 🎉🎉
Ahhhh my perfect new Sunday evening pub game 😍
This definitely looks like a game I can get addicted to
Really nice twist on a checkers
This might kill my brain lol.
It looks very tricky but very fun!
Positive and optimistic comment !!
looks amazing, and glad they are doing a physical

Game so cool can't wait to try it
So I asked myself, "What is check missing..."
Love the idea, we need more games bases on chest
this looks like one of those LUA games PICO-8 games.
Watching the game play, I'm surprised how they changed things to make it work on console. Working with a mouse to aim is more my style, though, so I'll keep playing on PC
Well now I need to wait for the physical...
Love chess. Adore roguelikes. This was a no-brainer. Thanks for giving it some attention!
seen this game a few times and looks interesting might pick it up great vid lads
Shotgun king looks like so much fun, can't wait to play it. (I love chess)
Idk what a roguelike is but I am gonna play some before the physical copy comes out because I must play this game.
I’ve almost finished Advanced Wars, so this might be my next game.
Surprised this game can run on the Switch.
Oh man. I’ve been waiting for this one!

Wow this looks great, love the concept!
Regular Chess ❌️ Murder Chess ✅️
😂 exactly right!
Isn't pickup! Roguelike chess with a shotgun. What more can you love about a game?!
This looks so interesting! It seems like a nice spin on it!
I love chess. This is definitely a new take on chess that I could see enjoying!
Here i was,waiting for chess 2 and it didnt disapoint.
Hope is as fun to play as it looked in your review.
Great idea for a mashup. Gotta be honest, playing chess makes me want to wield a shotgun sometimes. Just kidding YT. Don’t send the police to check me out. 😅
I love chess. I'm grabbing this one now . This looks amazing. Also is there a multiplayer mode?
I love Chess and I love shotguns! This seems like a win/win for me!
Don’t play chess. Don’t play roguelikes. Want this game.
Huh so a different take on chess. Looks fun!
Saw northernlion play this ages ago and it really looks like a lot of fun. It is on my list to get
I’d like to see Magnus Carlson play this
I’m an absolutely terrible chess player, maybe wielding a shotgun will help? Looks fun!
It looks great but compared to Brotato and Vampire Survivors that price tag seems steep for something that seems to have much less variety
Agreed, when it goes on sale I'll get it tho. How's Brotato? I'm loving Vampire Survivors. Any other recs?
@@hands_of_stone Brotato is awesome. Very satisfying. Army of Ruin and Void Scrappers if you love Vampire Survivors. Dicey Dungeons is another favorite of mine and of course Hades.
Can I use the King’s Gambit opening? 😂
I've been interested in this ever since watching Northernlion play it on twitch.
looks very cool. I would try it.
This really look funny as hell to play
Super interested in trying this out
This seems a really cool game. Unfortunately, im thick as mince and cant play chess 😂
Chess but roguelike? Sign me up!! 😋
Does this game teach you to how to play? It looks like a lot of fun, but i’ve never played chess cus my grandfather was too strict about this
This looks 'king good
it looks so fun!
What a great idea for a game! I look forward to playing t!
Love to play this looks awesome
Sold.
Buying this asap.
Why does this game make me think of Battle Chess???
Nifty.
can you atack a chess peice normaly?
It seems a little expensive for the content. Vampire survivor is better bang for your buck!
I want fhis
Now do u have to know how to play chess in order to enjoy the game or nah🤔?
Of course.... The black king... Can you imagine if they chose the white king shooting all the black pieces? Yeah, it's so obvious. If you could swap then maybe I'd buy it, but its obvious IYKYK
