As some one who's played this a bunch: Queen is very good even with it's nerfs. That little throwing ability is an instant kill if it hits and it can fly away to heal. Bishop is extremely good as well. It's glider grants great mobility and it's grenade does lots of damage and really good if you hit. Also the shotgun is always useful. Pawn is actually one of the better pieces. It's rifile is good, the minion is fun and can mess people up, and the sprint gives good mobility. Knight is arguably weaker than the pawn. It's bow is the slowest and most in unwieldy weapon (except if you get close and spam but that has it's risks and you'll still probably loose) but the tracking arrow is useful. Rook is a toss up, if you manage to get away and hide and (can) snipe them it's incredibly good. But if you get rushed you're dead cause it is so inaccurate up close. King is also a toss up. If you can get away from it it can't hurt you but if you let it get close you're dead. All in all it's a great game that could use some balancing to bring the pieces up to their worth in chess.
Knight is a one shot headshot if you charge your bow and its a two shot kill with the tracking arrow if you get away from your opponent and hit one shot you just have to use the tracking arrow and its gg
@@vincentrosethorn4886 its more like a map game, you control your army and can set up who fights who, but if they army doesn't fight well no level of strategy will save you
this game reminds me of the chess arc in versatile mage, it's exactly the same but the attacker has an advantage, that is, that the defender deals 30% less damage, so the attacker has more chance of winning. and if the winner is hurt, they'll be hurt for the whole game until they die
Small info for you. You can climb. Knight- Dash hurts your opponent, charged arrows are as strong as the Rook sniper shot Bishop- Glide, not Fly. You can swoop to gain speed to get altitude Not sure which button but most units can block shots. Hope this makes things more intersting
It’s so hard to hear them say the horse sucks while they shoot limp arrows at each other lol. Still you have to enjoy the idea that they forgot bows charge up.
In case y’all didn’t know, the game got a decent sized update and added shiny variants of pieces with different movesets and weapons. Would love to see you guys play this game again.
Nah, it's more like you play a board game but y'all just make up your own rules and shit, like adding checker pieces or monopoly money or something like that
When I was a kid I played an NES game called Archon. Same concept. Even if your opponent outplayed you in chess, the pieces had to fight in a little arena and each piece had different abilities.
The horse isn't bad you just need to not Spam it and charge it up, and the aimbot power up only works when you charge it up, cause when you charge the bow up the arrow does more damage and it goes farther.
This game immediately reminded me of the game Shotgun King. It’s where you play chess with only a king who also has a shotgun. Pretty cool Rougelite if I’m honest.
9:38 Squirrel: "you have a sword. but i have gun and can fly. you have no chance!" cartoonz's king: "ah yes, i agree. there's no way i can ever beat you with my one-shotting sword. woe is me..." 14:13 also... sick strategic play
The horse is actually one of the better units. It's thin head makes it more difficult to land headshots, & the bow will 2 hit kill most enemies if you land a headshot. Also if a pawn makes it to the other end of the board you can trade it in for a different piece that you lost, which basically means that you can bring pieces back from the dead
The horse is actually one of the best characters but you guys just dont play it right you need to charge the arrow if you do is one shot in head is very op
I have seen this before and found it really cool so its nice that you guys are now playing this also would like to know if another episode of cult of the lamb will come out
This is not meant to be a perfect description of every piece this is just my rough overview of what they do. FPS Chess piece abilities: Edit: All:climb, jump, passive regeneration Pawn: gun: rifle sprint, summon pawn Knight: gun: bow (can be charged for extra damage) Seeking arrow, dash Rook: gun: sniper Grapple, build wall Bishop: gun: shotgun Grenade, glide (like a Minecraft elytra) Queen: gun: Tommy Gun Free fly, piece grab King: sword Ground pound, damaging grab
The horse isnt as bad as you think yes it isnt good with weakly drawn shots but if you fully pull back the bow and land a headshot it does immense damage it will kill everything in a maximum 2 shots as long as the bow is fully drawn before hand. It is a purley accuracy based piece
Toonz talking about the queen's gambit reminds me I need to finish watching Arrow still.😂 Pretty cool game tho tbh, love how he found so many ways to get stuck in shit lol totally relatable to me.🤷♀️😂
looking from both perspectives i noticed some desync, it's more noticeable on the 2nd king vs king. Also noticed some screen tearing in the third king vs king fight, when you turned after squirrel jumped from the chandelier.

Is there a "checkmate" possibility in this game?
@@dr.pepper7606 no. King is allowed to move into check actually. The only way you win is you take the king.
Knight is a one shot headshot if you charge your bow and its a two shot kill with the tracking arrow if you get away from your opponent and hit one shot you just have to use the tracking arrow and its gg
@@djokonaoko1523 ah. Never knew that. Thanks for that info.
Rook is the best character Its good close up and from a range I think you just dont know how to aim
This is a pretty cool game, even if you don’t know how to play chess you can still win as long as you have good aim
Which completely defeats the point of involving chess.

It’s like that in real life too
“The horse sucks” *meanwhile him running in a straight line, not even trying to dodge attacks*
I don't even think he used the Knight's powers.
See and that was his downfall the knight attacks sideways
Plus they never hit each other with the charge
I don’t think they even charged the bow shot
In my opinion probably the best piece as you can land a headshot and then homing and boom. Win.
I want to know who woke up one day and decided to turn chess into a fps because that is both genius and really dumb and slightly disturbing
Agree
Well chess is basically a battle field but swords and shields are more accurate
FPChess
It is apparently made by the student of a technology college or something along those lines, knowing that im concerned lmao.
I mean, I still remember wizards chess on my moms computer (2008 or something) where all the pieces were fully moving and animated people

Knight- Dash hurts your opponent, charged arrows are as strong as the Rook sniper shot

Not sure which button but most units can block shots.

Yes thanks this was bothering me
@@Dem1z_ Me too. Hope I wasn't too blunt but it irked me
Oh man the best part has got to be when Cartoonz went "is this how chess really works?" when Squirrel promotes his pawn 🤣
Could this technically be…AMERICAN CHESS?
🤣 yes for sure 100%
10000% it is
EXACTLY.
What are you talking about this is just chess
I love merica

Its amazing how two grown men cant understand the concept of fully drawing a bow before shooting. I love Cartoons lmao
It also had an ability to track and hit them

Nah, it's more like you play a board game but y'all just make up your own rules and shit, like adding checker pieces or monopoly money or something like that
Once you get the pawns to the other side of the board (via opponent’s side) the pawn can turn into any piece
The best chess game for starters and also this the most fun I've ever seen people have with chess!
Yall need to play this game again. Definitely gonna pick this game up. love the video guys!
This is what I imagine chess pieces are like in toy story
The epic battle between the Kings round one is absolutly bombastik truly The most intense fight in The video
" That's totally barbaric! "
" That's Wizards Chess "
cartoonz and squirrel the horse is one of the best because you can one shot the king with it when you charge the bow
This is great. Its like the muggle version of wizards chess
This game is so stupid and so cool at the same time I love it.
When I was a kid I played an NES game called Archon. Same concept. Even if your opponent outplayed you in chess, the pieces had to fight in a little arena and each piece had different abilities.
The potential for a fool's gambit at the start would have been hilarious
The horse isn't bad you just need to not Spam it and charge it up, and the aimbot power up only works when you charge it up, cause when you charge the bow up the arrow does more damage and it goes farther.
I wanna see more of this with more people; this is hilarious!
I wasn't sure what to expect, but that was awesome! It's a very clever game with really cool pieces.
This game immediately reminded me of the game Shotgun King. It’s where you play chess with only a king who also has a shotgun. Pretty cool Rougelite if I’m honest.
I would LOVE to see cartoonz playing this game with h20 delirious
Horse is good u just need to hold it that’s kinda how bows work
not sure when you got it but congrats on 3.8 mil subs dude! i think i’ve been watching since like 500k-1mil, you rock!
Me:ok no UA-cam today.
Notification: cartoons post vid. Chess w guns w squirrel.
Me: damn. So much for that.
Cartoonz absolutely love the content keep it up bro!
You have to use the bishops fly ability like a Minecraft elytra
In other words glide down for speed then look up and use that momentum to soar
9:38
Squirrel: "you have a sword. but i have gun and can fly. you have no chance!"
cartoonz's king: "ah yes, i agree. there's no way i can ever beat you with my one-shotting sword. woe is me..."
14:13 also... sick strategic play
This game is actually fun to watch, plz play again.
The bishop glides like the Batman games
this game has so much potential, genius!

We definitely need more of this game.
the knight is hard to control due to his bow, but can one shot
This is Harry Potter's Wizards Chess...
To the next level...
I have no idea how chess works, but the kill cam had me rolling
Toonz: "Goddamn the Queen!"
The English: *surprised Pikachu face*
Keep up the awsome work Toonz
Brits: "God save the Queen!"
'Toonz: 23:04
Thank you, from the bottom of my soulless husk, for playing this game. Probably never would have seen it without ya.
Two things… 1. You can charge your attack with the horse. 2. The wings of the bishop works like an elytra.
It's like Hogwarts Chess but modern day with guns.
YES FINALLY THE BEST GAME EVER MADE IS GETTING THE RECOGNITION IT DESERVES
Now THIS is a TRUE shooter.
the horse is really good, you have to charge your shot and it one shot also everything and the dash is pretty good if you charge into someone
You know how there's those memes about people waiting for chess 2, I think this is it now
I definitely want to see more of this!
I mean I’ve played battle chess before but this is insane.
Now I want to play some chess which I've never felt like doing before
The checkmate opportunities just 6 to 8 minutes into this game hurt me as a chess player 😆
The horse is actually one of the best characters but you guys just dont play it right you need to charge the arrow if you do is one shot in head is very op
9:03 "full auto in the house"
I have seen this before and found it really cool so its nice that you guys are now playing this also would like to know if another episode of cult of the lamb will come out
Squirrel triggering the entire chess community calling the knight a horse
The knight is not bad if you use its abilities and learn to headshot.
24:26 that was too clean ngl
Cool to see Cartoonz and squirrel playing American chess
29:50 "Don't Toonzy, I have the high ground!"
10:48 bishop's wings is accually like an elytra from minecraft.
This is not meant to be a perfect description of every piece this is just my rough overview of what they do.
FPS Chess piece abilities:
Edit: All:climb, jump, passive regeneration
Pawn: gun: rifle
sprint, summon pawn
Knight: gun: bow (can be charged for extra damage)
Seeking arrow, dash
Rook: gun: sniper
Grapple, build wall
Bishop: gun: shotgun
Grenade, glide (like a Minecraft elytra)
Queen: gun: Tommy Gun
Free fly, piece grab
King: sword
Ground pound, damaging grab
I love it 😂 such a weird take on a classic game
06:45 after this battle Squirrel was missing a Rook.
Omfg the mid air magnet draw from the king nice play toonz!
I hope more of this is played and u notice the knights bow and arrow is a charge shot xD
The concept is pretty awesome 💯🔥
This is awesome anybody else anticipating another video of this or cult of the Lamb???😂😂
THE RETURN OF KING TOONZ!!
Great to see your videos on trending. Love you toonz
This game was literally made by someone like CaRtOoNz who knew what the pieces did but knew fuck all about how to play the game beyond that.
Yo that Rook vs. Bishop play was sick!!!
The horse isnt as bad as you think yes it isnt good with weakly drawn shots but if you fully pull back the bow and land a headshot it does immense damage it will kill everything in a maximum 2 shots as long as the bow is fully drawn before hand. It is a purley accuracy based piece
Still though that just sounds like a weaker rook can just snipe you in one shot.
Squirrel swooping in like Batman there at the end 🤣
You can climb the walls and table legs by holding jump. You can also break the windows and go outside.
Reminds me of that harry potter chess
We need more of this game, it’s hilarious!
i love that every cartoonz outro has him and the person he played with
"The bishop is trash": *Meanwhile them not even using him correctly*
I need more of this also bishop glude is like an elytra
Been playing this since it came out. You can actually get out of the map completely
Ok, the idea that you cannot simply capture a piece, makes so many strats in chess moot. I love it.
Normally hate chess but this game makes it much more enjoyable
This video was amazing and funny can we get more of this?
A helpful tip for you is that the bishops flying works like the elytra from minecraft
Huh. What do you know. When you think we're starting to run out of weird games, you see something like this.
Toonz talking about the queen's gambit reminds me I need to finish watching Arrow still.😂 Pretty cool game tho tbh, love how he found so many ways to get stuck in shit lol totally relatable to me.🤷♀️😂
Cartoonz: "imma move my horsie"
Me, forced to play the game through my childhood: has a existential crisis
There’s one thing I love chess and FPS shooters so why not make a game with a chimera abomination of the two.
14:15
That was Awesome 😄
Anytime I see you 1v1 Squirrel, I cheer him on cause it's always a boss battle for him
wow this takes chess to a whole new level
looking from both perspectives i noticed some desync, it's more noticeable on the 2nd king vs king. Also noticed some screen tearing in the third king vs king fight, when you turned after squirrel jumped from the chandelier.
When playing Chess, you call the horse a knight, the end pieces are called the rooks and the bishops can go vertical.
Squirrel not flying with his queen against the kind made me frustrated for him 😭😭😭
The perfect combo I love this idea
