as an actual chess player.. watch board game club's "horses only" video.. you'll laugh but also have a hard time at it hahaha (hint.. every piece except the king is a ... horse... or knight, as you laymen call them)
As an actual chess player, I'm glad this video was made and introduced me to the game, but yea I hope one of the top chess streamers has a chance to show the game with a bit stronger chess background.
Cool game. By any chance you will ever have a beta or a way for people to play the game for feedback? Looks like tons of fun and I’m sure there are people like me who would play 👀
@@ChampionJan I don't think we're looking for more beta testers right now but I hope you play it when it comes out soon! Should be a couple weeks at most. :)
Not sure about if its said before in comments, but the reason why the upgrade for the rook is "dragon" may be because in the related board game shogi, the promoted rook is named dragon and behaves a bit like that
@@davidoid2 Poignant. I play one game, Chaos Cube, makes this game look like a triple AAA title graphically - it does not matter, the game is in the mind anyways. Still don't know why they removed features from dwarf fortress to give it a gui when we already had graphical font sets.
Dude do you have any idea how much money you get me to spend? Constant banger roguelikes that feed my need for instant gratification and empty my wallet, lol. Love what you do, keep it up!
reminds me of a game called chess evolved I played years ago. It's still around. Although the community isn't that active. It's a shame it wasn't heavily expanded upon. That game had huge potential.
I know that shouldn't be such a big deal but I freaking love those crow (rook? Chess joke?) drawings representing the black side. They make me so happy xd Edit: okay now I know there are more then just the crow but I like that one the most, still
@@Moonlite_Kitsuneyou can choose which squares to move every turn, you can choose which piece you want to promote, there is also a metaprogression each time you lose
@48:00 vs the Witch boss: Your bonus after moving the pawn is 'move a pawn or king'. So why not shuffle the king around as your second move so you can keep up the pace of slaughter with the pawns?
@olexa - I really enjoyed this video and I play chess. Keep pumping out great content and introducing us to new games. I added it to my wish list today!
The reason the king capture is so prevalent in chess variants is cause it's easier to implement than checking all possible mechanics for checks Edit: but there are checks anyway so idk
I’m sorry. Is no one else here gonna address how insanely hard the soundtrack of this rough chess game goes? I had to look it up to make sure sure the UA-camr didn’t add it in himself. And no, he didn’t. It could easily be cut and pasted into a multi-million dollar movie today and no one would bat an eye.
There seems to be two main groups in this comment section, the Can't Watch Because The Game's Graphics Made My Eyes File A Restraining Order group, which I personally don't understand, as an aphant I am less noticing of imagery and how it looks so I may be the weird one, and then there's the Chess Battle Advanced group, no complaints those guys are cool
Hey olexa, have you ever played spirit fall? If so, I couldn't find it but I will look for it If not, I think you should play it when you come back from your trip (:
Genuinely the closest thing I've found to a gameified version of r/AnarchyChess. Is there a game mode where the individual pieces are permadeath? Right now it kind of just feels like a chess-themed minigame collection that you happen to start over if you lose the king
ok so stupid question.. from a stupid viewer (that would be me) How the hell do you manage to put out that many videos in such short times? Most other youtubers have troubles posting videos half as long as yours, in twice the time you take to post yours.... Did you make a deal with the devil? Are we part of a Matrix where we're part of one of your successful Roguelike runs? Am I onto you??
Olexa: They Turned Chess into a Roguelike Me (before watching the video): Hmmm....ok Me (after seeing King not being checkmated @6:15, then walking into check soon after):...debatable
Wow. Very nice game. And i think you played okay. Sure i would make different moves. But the NPC would punish those instead and i would look like an idiot.
Yeah that was kinda painful. "What? Make ANY piece into a queen, the best queen in the game, when I have a bunch of Rooks who can easily get there and be supercharged? FUCK THAT!!!!!!"
I get the feeling this game was created solely so they could name the shop Pawnshop. And I don't blame them
There has never been a video that has had me yelling at my phone before. Kudos for top tier engagement on this one.
As an actual chess player... this hurts to watch, yet it looks extremely fun. Gonna try it out for sure!
As someone with very little chess knowledge, I have no idea what's happening in this video
IKR😭😭😭
Omg yes it hurts so much I had to stop watching it but I will try the game

Whoa, this is my game! So glad you tried it out and that you seemed to enjoy it!
Any chance that this game will be available outside of Steam? Gog, Itch or your own website perhaps?

@@GlyderGames Look forward to it!
You have no idea how excited I am to buy this off Steam when it comes out
Ah man the football helmet relic would let you promote your entire board of rooks into queens
Honestly though, those rooks might have been better than queens.
@@MercuryA2000not if he took the relic that gives queens knight movement

the rougelike itself is fine, but the GUI is so unpleasant 😭
it looks like a flash game lmfaoo
@@iconica9516 fr this is burning my eyes
At least they are focusing on gameplay before graphics, unlike the majority of AAA companies out there
UI reminds me of those fake game ads on youtube

olexa chess series would go crazy ngl
The backseating would actively kill me
Actually, backseating is a passive effect, not an active effect

Dude I love the titles you put on these. May have to cop this one.
chess roguelike advanced
Dude do you have any idea how much money you get me to spend? Constant banger roguelikes that feed my need for instant gratification and empty my wallet, lol. Love what you do, keep it up!
This isn't for me, but I like how you explain your moves, it really helps to sort through all these interesting indie-games to those I'd wanna play!
Roguelikes and roguelites are probably the most creative in terms of games
I'm making my own chess rogue like, and I'm in the process of scouting out the competition.
This game looks so big brain omg and it looks like it was insanely hard to code
reminds me of a game called chess evolved I played years ago. It's still around. Although the community isn't that active. It's a shame it wasn't heavily expanded upon. That game had huge potential.
olexa playing chess roguelikes always big W
awesome, will definitely try it
I know that shouldn't be such a big deal but I freaking love those crow (rook? Chess joke?) drawings representing the black side. They make me so happy xd
Edit: okay now I know there are more then just the crow but I like that one the most, still
The hipster crow is super cute
Ooh, i really enjoyed this look. Im not big on chess games but you made this super fun to watch. Thanks!
Olexa missing the 2 turn win on the troll 😢
Wouldn't mind seeing you play this again. Also I hope NL plays this, its such an NL game lol
this looks awesome!
at 34:30 when he almost died I was like what the heck are you doing
Weird. Love it though!
As someone who has no idea how to actually checkmate, the taking the king mechanic actually makes sense to me.
Soon someone is gonna make a roguelike game about making roguelikes games
Isn't chess already a roguelike
Agreed... but not for me ig
Explain
no random/generated level design
@@tylerdarlington4269 true, so it's a roguelite
@@Moonlite_Kitsuneyou can choose which squares to move every turn, you can choose which piece you want to promote, there is also a metaprogression each time you lose
Kinda funny how 22:56

I started at beginer and it has been fun going up from 0 as a chess noob.
Football helmet works for All pieces, so your army of rooks could have just rhino rushed forward and all became queens
Great gameplay, would like to see more

Edit: but there are checks anyway so idk
The 1st, 3ed person switch up is crazy
Simon Says is you have to move to the same color the opponent did. It doesn't just pick whatever color it wants.
Oh boy, an hour full of self checkmates? I cant wait!
I’m sorry. Is no one else here gonna address how insanely hard the soundtrack of this rough chess game goes?
I had to look it up to make sure sure the UA-camr didn’t add it in himself. And no, he didn’t. It could easily be cut and pasted into a multi-million dollar movie today and no one would bat an eye.
It’s an extremely good soundtrack!
@ 12:30 , RF4 mate using the rook's knight move :)
God i hate chess.... i love alternative chess tho xD shotgun king, ouroboros king, that other roguelike chess game-
OLEXA!!!!!!
You should try the dungeon tycoon demo u would really love it
Will you upload the Ascension 15 extreme difficulty run to Olextra? :v
No lol. I lost in the second battle LOL
They made chess actually fun to play
5:20 Olexa got his pipi bricked!
13:25 i think you could have one in two move with your rook-knight in f8
Yo, its chessing time? :o
Yeah, a good point that’s a really good argument
Definetely want to try it out

The final boss is literally just backseating every move
The bird is so cute 😭
I want this on my switch ngl
More pls!
not me rewinding to the beginning to see if it's a "relooks" video so i can watch more 😅
The comments are acting like this is a tournament match or something you did more than good enough honestly
Hey olexa, have you ever played spirit fall?
If so, I couldn't find it but I will look for it
If not, I think you should play it when you come back from your trip (:
Haven’t!
I'm reminded of Chess Battle Advanced. I've watched to much Icely

When you’ve been doing this for 11 years, you get used to doing it
15 minutes in and you declined two en passants, you call yourself a chess enthusiast? Holy hell!
Reminds me a lot of Shogi, [the far superior chess-like board game. 🙊]
dammit. I've been working on this exact game for like 3 months >_
damn 😢
buddy, keep working on it. no need to worry, ship your game.
So what bro. Still ship it. Remember, it's not about who did it first but who did it best.
lol…feeble chess skills but A+ entertainment. I’ll probably buy this thanks to you! 😂

Me (after seeing King not being checkmated @6:15, then walking into check soon after):...debatable
I still like the Ouroboros King for a chess roguelike.
That mechanic of dropping pieces is not strong. It's shogi baby.
This is pain
Wow. Very nice game. And i think you played okay. Sure i would make different moves. But the NPC would punish those instead and i would look like an idiot.
cool chess roguelike is "The Ouroboros King"
I’ve played it on the channel before!
more!
ELDER SQUID IS Broken!
41:28 for a pawn yeah but that can turn ANY piece into a queen
Yeah that was kinda painful. "What? Make ANY piece into a queen, the best queen in the game, when I have a bunch of Rooks who can easily get there and be supercharged? FUCK THAT!!!!!!"
Looks a lot like ouroboros king. Slightly different, but the principle is basically same
I’ve played it! Pretty different game imo
You should check out the album ROOKERY by the band Giant Rooks
Bro took the name "the rookery" quite literally
how can u lose 5 rooks to a knight
It helps when I have like 20 rooks
