Unusual chess rules - No prior knowledge needed!
In this version of chess the units don't instantly take each other out which makes small mistakes less punishing. The chess pieces have health-bars that must be depleted by attacks before they're eliminated. You can heal your troops to keep them alive.
You move the chess pieces - The rest is automated!
You control where your units go and they will automatically attack opponents when they can. The units also try to automatically heal themselves if the right conditions are met. For example the Bishop can heal pieces that stand diagonal to him and the Pawns heals itself when moved.
Give your unit weapons and armor and level up!
Find treasures and loot powerful weapons to distribute amongst your characters to increase their health and strength. Along the way you can add more chess pieces to your group. Select units that synergies well together to maximize the groups power. Upgrade your units and your spells as you level up.
Choose your path to the throne!
After a chessboard has been cleared you can choose which path to go next. You can choose to avoid a difficult chessboard or maybe the rewards are worth the tougher fight? Deep into the castle you'll encounter monsters, giants and bosses. Will you make it all the way and become the new ruler?
