About Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate

About this game

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.

Runs may take ~20 minutes to complete. The game features 15 ranks of difficulty, unlockable cards, over 80 achievements to complete, an endless mode, and now a chase mode where you get continually assailed from all sides!

For the small price of 4 bucks (Australian) this was well and truly worth it, it'll only take a few hours to beat but it has some post- game challenges to make it even harder, it's a great brain scratcher and is super fun even just casually

Despite being horrible at Chess and not the biggest fan of card-based rogue-likes, this game manages to combine all of these things and be a lot of fun. Should you get close to beating a run of the campaign's Throne Mode and lose near the end, you're immediately shown why and how you missed a step which is neat considering strategy and forward-thinking is the name of the game. You can have a quick session or spend hours playing chess with a shotgun and not feel like you've wasted any time. Definitely recommended.
