FPS Chess

Battle a friend in this fast paced 1v1 class-based first-person shooter. Chess takes a back-seat to FPS as you win duel after duel and capture the opponent's pieces until you've beaten their king and won the game.

About the Game



Play an ordinary game of chess against a friend or a stranger.

However, all your intricate strategies will crumble before the enemy rook's sniper trick-shot.
All your practiced openings and counters will amount to nothing before the enemy queen's randomly sprayed machine gun.
You finally checkmate the king. Unfortunately, it seems you are not ready for this fight. 5 seconds in and you've been sliced in half by the king's sword.

It turns out you are not playing Chess at all, but an FPS. Just make sure to practice your aim!



  • 6 unique piece toolkits with unique weapons and abilities.
  • Online, LAN, and local split-screen 1v1 multiplayer matches. Invite a friend or join a lobby.
  • A fun room to explore during every duel.
  • Custom board editor to play with your favorite pieces.
