- Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate Part 15 - apparently rats aren't being blamed for the Bubonic Plague anymore, that's a shame. They are, however, blamed for causing a plague to these enemy white pieces.

I've got newborn twins that I have to feed every three hours. So 11pm cst happens to be during one of those feeds every night. I look forward to these videos to help deal with the cries of babies lol. Keep up the great vids!
Glad to keep you entertained, good luck with the kids!
Zane the insurance guy, do you by chance work with Jake from State Farm
ah, I just have a shit sleep schedule and Tyler uploads at midnight
The true hardest difficulty. Good luck and have patience
@@matirion Well in UTC+1 i get a tyler video every morning
I'd find it interesting if, instead of after choosing all your cards for a build and then completing another floor some new white pieces joined, you had to choose another set of cards that would replace the first cards you picked. Allowing for builds to change and forcing you to adapt, maybe this system + the current system could make something interesting?
Update: I have been informed that this is the Chase mode hinted at the end of the video
not sure i entirely understand your suggestion, personally i’d like to see a mode where you only buff white pieces and have to beat the final boss with base stats
There's a mode for that called Chase
I think you'll be liking his next video then...
@@That-_-Guy sounds hellish , give me more
I think the reason the undead armies card (spawn a pawn after rooks, knights or bishop die) doesn't work on the last row is because if a chess piece died, it would spawn a pawn that would immediately promote, therefore leading to a loop of basically invincible pieces as long as they stay there
It's a balance fix and a frankly reasonable one
This is actually an insane build because white had insane anti-synergy. Everything was invested into pawns when there are basically no pawns and tyler could pick off pawns easily.
19:10 wow what a great move by that bishop! But I too didn't see it shaking, so there was very little way to predict it and avoid it
It didn't shake. And neither did that pawn that moved at the same turn.
You can always see what units are about to move by highlighting them, the lack of shaking is a loop-2 change to increment the difficulty
Thankyou for playing these strategy and puzzle games I’m too dumb to play lmao. Even more props for consistently keeping them entertaining. Good work bro
Wand of Wrath + Theocracy is a hilarious combo where you can just instantly snipe one of the bishops and potentially win instantly if you find a way to lower the number of bishops
If the pawns had 1hp it would just be a massacre
Thank you for being so consistent Tyler! I’ve been watching all of your videos for awhile now and I love every single one.
12:30 The Chess comparison Aliensrock used while complaining about btd battles 1 powers is really holding up right now.
For those who need context, the comparison was: if they introduced a power to chess where you could just remove any piece from the opponent's board at any time, a large portion of the game's theory would start revolving around what piece to remove and when. Some people would just remove the queen right when the game starts and you would play no-queen chess.
I'm pretty sure the theory would in large have you removing the queen as late as possible so they hopefully waste as many moves as possible with it. Some would also choose to save the ability to allow for the removal of defenses from the king allowing for a really potent attack without having to bring more pieces. It's an interesting idea and I'm curious how itd work out.
@@id01_01 however, if you knew your opponent well you might end up removing a non-queen piece
like if you knew your opponent likes playing King's Indian Defense you destroy their king's bishop
@@musicexams5258 naaaahhhh queen too op
Did anyone else see on the opening part that there's a little writing in the book that reads:
Shotgun King
(Endless Theme)
*ALIENSBACH*
?
They should have a sandbox mode so you can just mess around with different builds and stuff. I'd love to see how viable a "blade-only" build would be.
This game looks really cool! Love the content, keep up the good work!
If I recall right, pawns spawned from destroyed pieces can't check you when they first emerge.
He did it twice in the video with zero problem. Idk y he was so anxious about it even after seeing it be fine
@@GhostGlitch. Tyler is know for not remembering basic information he learned a few seconds before
@@danielm.595youtuberitis
Pawns spawning from undead armies don't kill you on their first turn.
I tried out Hades after watching you play it, and now Hades 2 has been announced! Super excited for it.
“Militia is so unthreatening” if I remember correctly you died to it last time
Still waiting for Tyler’s face on Tyler’s head. I need my Tylerception just once
Love the rat build, I always pick it bc it’s so wild to see the chain reaction. I will say though, I have died a few times from a rat taking out a piece
Thanks for the sweet content! Really enjoying your playlists!
I watch these video to retain my sanity after playing medic tf2 for 5-10 hours straight
Mom: go play chess
Me: **plays shotgun king**
I had to watch the Egotic Maelstrom part three times to find the edit. I knew there’d be one.
Thank you for coming back to this, I was hoping you didn't quit this game.
You know maybe for some interesting ideas for the game, instead of adding 1 power for black and white for each level:
1) Black already has 10 full random powers, but black has to remove some of those powers (maybe keeping 5 or 3 at final level)
2) White has 5 random powers, but will get additional 5 more powers (means white has 10 full powers at final level as normal)
I love it when tyler posts on shotgun king, can’t get enough of shotgun king content❤❤❤
My favorite strategy is the toggleables. Cornered despot, High focus, Black mist WHICH LITERALLY REVIVES YOU ONCE PER FLOOR, and afterwards I just wanna debuff enemies as much as possible.
Aliensrock:Wow pawns are now strong
Also he:MORE PAWNS
3:50 I see the editor is not letting you go for what you first called it
Tip: if you go to the settings, you can change the amount of folly shields you have. (You can set it to three)
Right on time, perfect thing to fall asleep to.
You really P L O W E D that King
5:20
*King is ready, click to plow*
What a nice surprise after watching the game awards. Ty for the content ❤️
When are we going to see 14 minesweeper variants? I’ve unlocked both # and * and I want to see what you make of the tower eyesite.
and devil's calculator
3:36 “Can attack in ALL DIRECTIONS” (btw its 4 directios)
I feel like you could've queen moved a lot more often considering you got a free soul every floor. Might've even saved you in the end
Bro this new editing style got me dead out here
Rats Rats we are the Rats!
Celebrating yet another birthday bash!
We prey at night, we stalk at night, we're the RATS!
@@ChaseVaccaro-ge3gk"I'm the giant rat that makes all of the rules!"
Rat rats, were the rats. We talk at night we kill a knight, were the rats.
we prey at night, we stalk at night, we're the rats*
please.
this nearly made me fall off my chair.
Day 12 of asking Tyler to finish A potion game
potionomics lol
agreed
Yeah he just can't abandon the series like that... There's competition waiting for him!!
I guess were just geting 14:50
completely agreed
I guess we’re never gonna see the end of potionomics
15 minutes in and I just started drooling 😂. I'M GOOD FOR ANOTHER 5 MINUTES LMAO!
Tyler von Beethoven is so cursed but I love it
Would love to see some backpack hero content since it got many updates and new characters and items!
It looks like there was a bug starting around floor 18 where the wiggle turned off for the rest of the game?
btw if you kill a piece with undead armies while diagonal you dont die
Tyler has evolved into a higher being.
Rats Rats we are the Rats celebrating up another birthday bash
[Tyler] it's your birthday today, cake and ice cream is on its way and
[Tyler] is such a good boy this year, open up your cake while we all cheer
Aliensrock, do you think that both sides adding a new card every even level in Endless and having White get the generic buff every odd level would be more fun?
A god run not just because your cards are good, but the white cards are good for you as well!
Ah yes, Plague Rats. The Black Card that scales with the more White Pieces and Power you have, since it means more rats to nibble the thoroughly chipped out army to death. The fact you've combined it with Pierce is extra spicy, but you could've done even better if you'd managed to get Grenade, Blades, or the Black Death Trinity (Rats + Crow + BD) with them. On the subject of Black Death, it's the only source of passive damage you get access to that doesn't require your shotgun to 'activate' , so it's quite a sought out Perk imo, especially with stall cards like Moat, Black Mist, and Extra Turn enablers.
Discover-check is really OP in this game.
I think it would be cool if there was a grenade that used some of your reserve ammo, but it would need to have a big downside for how good it would be
Miss the old style of Shotgun king where it displays the information of the buffs on the upgrades. Now i have to pause and rewind to see what each card, sadly. Still enjoy the content.
It's a deadly combo with a sniper build you basically don't even have to be in the fight when you get both
I love u editor
i wish endless would let you choose a new card after every round and discard the oldest cards of both you and white
Rats
our Good ol' friends
I recommend you checkout Ship Of Fools. The game is a super fun rouge like game but unfortunately it’s short. The games got potential in my opinion and it’s definitely worth checking out.
i would love to see you try out yomi hustle, its a "fighting game" made into a strategy turnbased almost-card game, think it'd be great for your channel
SHOTGUN KING!!!
Ohh the music here is captivating
This is just the video just for me!
Tyler upload schedule for me is pretty good (7pm)
This is how plague spread
Bro came back to the 1300s
Rats rats we are the rats we walk at night we stalk at night we are the rats
👑🐀I am the giant rat and i make all the rules
I will never get how Tyler doesn’t get that wiping out a queen at the start does absolutely nothing for him. Sure it kills the most dangerous piece, but what does it put you in danger of? Putting you in check. if that’s the case there is no reason to not until you puts you in check
It's a good prophylactic move during the quiet earlygame, when there are no valuable moves to make, especially as an edgehugger. Later when enemy pieces are in position and start delivering checks it can easily be too late to take a pick off.
Whenever there's an empty soul slot it's even better.
The title sounds like real chess added a rule so that when the king reaches the other side of the board you win lol
it would be fun to have double rats and weaker pawns, that way killing a pawn could instantly kill all pawns
this mode should occasionally offer buffs to you
Looks cool also my sleep schedule wants to jump of a cliff
I want to see a video where a chess grandmaster plays white versus the shotgun king
5:17
you should get all range and all power buf to make a powerfull sniper
Fun fact : there is a secret ending for beating the game with white pieces having both the red book and theocracy
I hate yet love this game because when I saw you playing it I begged my parents to get it, but what people don’t tell you is that this game gets old fast
Just like the pied piper, led rats thru the streets, we dance like the marionettes, swayin-
Hey, will you play Dwarf Fortress? It's might be a bit too high of an investment, and a departure from the channel's themes partly, but it'd be really cool to see you playing it
omg its king "popiel" from polish legends
I like how there's a card called succubus
We're the rats we're the rats yes we are the rats
Hmm last video is ninja and mouse… this time it’s rats…
It has been 23 videos since the last alchemy game upload. Please bring it back.
I hope this video game gets a board game edition
guess you ratted the pieces out
RATS. WE'RE RATS. WE'RE THE RATS
I hope there's a minigun unlock!
we haven't even got deep like not 1 meter deep
So close of a loss to Floor 19 of Luck Be A White King
Absolute respect to the random kid who shouted out his Unorthodox Rabbi Bill Clinton at the Game Awards
I would love to see you play potionomic to an end if you still gonna play
I guess rats infested the 19 floors you played
rats, rats, were the rats
Tyler, please check out The Binding Of Isaac! It's a really fun game that has perhaps the most expansive, fun, and engaging weapon synergy system!
2:33 the queen couldve checkmated you
no, he had a bishop soul
Speaking of more content, do you ever get the alternative ending for this game?
Seeing as we have no video, I'd say not yet
Day 793 of telling Tyler that he never finished his minecraft series and that he should finish it.
Add something creative here
Day 753 of agreeing
day 480
