About the Game

MEGACHESS is a tactical roguelite where you explore an underground dungeon with your army of chess pieces. Using their special effects and by merging them into MEGA-PIECES, battle hordes of enemies and bosses to reach the Throne Room. Can you face the MEGA-KING and free your kind from their grasp?

  • Traverse the dungeon: Build districts of the dungeon as you explore it. Draft uncharted passages filled with fights, treasures, bosses and altars that permanently upgrade your army.

  • Blast through fights without losing units: Tactical yet fast-paced, every ally or enemy has a single life point. Carefully choose and place your pieces, unleash devastating combos and eliminate all enemy pieces in one turn.

  • Crush enemies with MEGA-PIECES: Merge similar pieces to form massive MEGA-PIECES that crush multiple enemies at once.

  • Upgrade the dungeon: Progress through 3 difficulty Tiers, each increasing the variety of encounters, districts, and tools at your disposal, until you reach the MEGA-KING’s Throne Room.
