- Locale key LongDescription modified: <!--textBlock--> <!--title--> # Shattered Chess is a fast, hypnotic roguelike remix of chess. <!--text--> Shattered Chess is a fast, hypnotic roguelike remix of chess. You get 10 moves to beat a target score. Enemy pieces are scattered and don’t move—your job is to chain captures for massive combos. Miss a capture and the chain breaks. Between fights, visit the shop to buy/upgrade passives and effects, then face unique bosses that warp the rules. HOW IT PLAYS - Pick a King Challenge – a difficulty modifier that applies a run-long drawback (no player bonus) and forces you to adapt. - Plan 10 moves – every decision matters; find the most optimal routes. - Chain captures – take multiple pieces in one combo to multiply your score. - Cooldown matters – a capturing piece goes on a 1-move cooldown, so rotate your lineup or build around reducing/offsetting cooldowns. - Beat the target – hit or exceed the enemy’s score to win the match. - Shop between fights – buy and upgrade passives/effects to overcome obstacles. - Boss encounters – every few stages, a boss changes the rules in surprising ways. - Endless mode – after a successful run, push your luck and climb as far as you can. BUILDCRAFTING - Specialize or diversify – invest in passives that boost one piece type, or get rewarded for switching between different pieces within the same combo. - Mechanic-focused builds – stack cooldown reduction or zone effects that boost your score when you plan and play around them. - Mitigate the drawback – draft passives/effects that help you bypass the negatives of your King Challenge. KEY FEATURES - Chess-inspired roguelike with quick, satisfying runs. - Combo-driven scoring that rewards creative planning and risk. - Powerful passives & synergies for expressive builds. - Unique bosses that push you to think differently. - Atmospheric 2D pixel art with a moody, light horror-tinged vibe. - Highly replayable: new enemy layouts and builds every run. <!--image-->  <!--image-->  → <!--textBlock--> <!--title--> # Chain massive combos, build game-breaking synergies, and survive rule-changing bosses in this fast-paced roguelike twist on chess. <!--text--> **PLAN. CHAIN. BREAK THE BOARD.** You only have 10 moves. Every capture counts for scoring. Build huge combo chains, multiply your score, and push your run as far as possible. Upgrade powerful passives, discover broken synergies, and survive bosses that completely twist the rules of the game. **CREATE MASSIVE COMBO CHAINS** Set up the perfect sequence and watch the board explode into score multipliers. Every move matters: - miss a capture → the chain breaks - plan correctly → massive rewards The better your route, the crazier the combo. **BUILD BROKEN SYNERGIES** Create runs focused on: - combo extensions - piece specialization - movement changing upgrades - zone based scoring boosts - more enemy pieces - more moves - end combo effects Adapt your strategy and discover overpowered combinations. **BOSSES CHANGE THE RULES** Boss encounters introduce mechanics that disrupt your strategy and force you to adapt on the fly. Every few stages, the game changes. Here are 3 bosses that you will encounter in runs: - Pattern Breaker - The cooldown for pieces is increased by 4 - Frozen Knights - All knights are frozen and they cannot move - The Orderbound - You can only move your pieces in this order (except Queens and Kings): Bishop, Pawn, Rook, Knight **HIGH RISK - HIGH SCORE** Choose King Challenges that apply permanent drawbacks for the entire run. The harder the challenge, the greater the reward. **FEATURES** - Fast-paced roguelike runs - Massive combo-driven scoring - Deep buildcrafting & synergies - Unique bosses & rule-changing mechanics - Endless mode - Difficulties - Boss rush mode - Replayable randomized layouts - Atmospheric pixel-art visuals - Skins for pieces and tiles <!--image-->  <!--image-->
