Master the chaos as the storm closes in to be the last King standing! The same pieces as classic chess, but they move in real-time. Master tactical positioning and timing. Fork, check, and pin, but also dodge, bait, and weave. Attack and defend, but with multiple pieces at once. Play as a chess champion with game-changing abilities, wreaking destruction, chaos, deception, or control on the battlefield.

Ability depth multiplies with chess tactics to create an unreachable skill ceiling. Embrace chess with a competitive battle royale twist. 40 Kings start on a massive map. Grow stronger by defeating other players and PvE challenges. Fights erupt unpredictably, ranging from 1v1 duels to 5-man brawls.
