About Chess of Doom

Chess of doom is a chess-based roguelike where you're outnumbered at every turn. Harness the dungeon's power to battle enemy hordes, familiar and strange.

DIE, LEARN, MASTER, CONQUER!

Each run challenges the player in a procedurally generated dungeon where every turn matters. Battle through rooms with twisted rules and challenges, facing classic and bizarre chess pieces.

THE POWER WITHIN

Discover the dungeon's power with souls and gambits. Souls grant unique move sets, letting the player traverse the complex layouts and outsmart relentless foes.

Over 50 gambits to discover. Redefining strategies and bending game rules. Combine them to turn the tide in you favour!
