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 that, 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. The console version brings new graphics to the game, revised interfaces, and a new tutorial for monarchs still in training. The card codex and achievement board will keep you returning for more until you're good enough at chess to become the grand master of your local tournaments!

  • Choose wisely: Every turn, you may either move your king or shoot at enemy pieces, after that you'll need to move again to reload your shotgun.
  • Avoid Checkmate: Kill the White King to complete the floor and move to the next level!
  • Strengthen Both Kings: After completing each floor, you will upgrade your king… but also your opponent!
