About

Standard chess tactics won't save you here. Chesstria takes the classic game and bends the rules, adding roguelite elements that introduce new layers of strategy. Consume the consumables, acquire artifacts, and reign victorious with your kingdoms banner. Master your economy, position and outsmart the opposing kings. Begin the game by setting up your position, see the upcoming battles and strategize your pieces into an effective layout. Have two kings? Remove tiles? Wololo the enemies pieces? This, and many more unique effects that change the original game into complex but straight forward strategy game. Muster your pieces and rally behind your banner! Features AI difficulty scaling: Pawn, Rook and Queen tiers, combined with different personalities and multiple layouts, plus custom boss layouts. The AI scales with consumables, artifacts and custom board positions and will use every advantage it has against you. Setup your position: Fully customize your opening against the opponent, keep the promotions you've made and lose the pieces lost in battle. 10+ unique consumables: Single use effects that drastically swing the game and change the calculations. 40+ artifacts: Passive effects that either aid an archetype or enhance the gameplay. 20+ player banners: Rally behind your bonuses, or sacrifice it if you're in dire need of help. 10+ boss banners: Clash against the mighty kingdoms and their unique effects. Run the Gauntlet: Make each new run increasingly more complex with additional rules. Discover unique events: Encounter dilemmas, puzzles and more special events. Puzzles!

See if you can work your way through each of the puzzles! Multiplayer Currently there are two custom gamemodes for a PvP experience.
