Been playing this a lot, awesome game! Click down the left stick to see where the opponent moving options! Helps a TON, also head up. The shaking pieces are the one moving next. This game is fairly deep, I like the blade builds! This means you can upgrade and one hit melee sometime with a stun if you get the upgrade card!
Oh snap! Ive been playing this on PC for a while and i didnt know it was coming to switch and getting a physical! I really like the "you and your enemy" power up system because it keeps the balance from being too overpowered on either side. Also protip: be careful who youre shooting at! If you kill a piece that has another piece behind it with a movement option towards you it will bypass your shields and kill you on the spot
@@voodooguitarz let's say on your board you're about to shoot a pawn that has a rook behind it. If you kill the pawn, the rook now has a clear path to checkmate you even if you have full shields. Same thing goes for bishops and especially queens. It's easy to overlook and I've lost a handful games that way
As for the over saturation of roguelites we have, playing as a chess king with a shotguns sounds very innovative. I'll add this to my wishlist for sure
Looks really cool. It’s been on my wishlist for a bit. Your video encourages me to keep it on the list.

I love a bit of strategy. Recently finished Disgaea story mode. Even though I'm not a fan of chess myself, it looks like an entertaining game, well paced too.

@@Whocareslol420 I know that feeling, kind of an addiction.
Honestly never heard of it until Glen mentioned it in a the upcoming games video series but I’m super hyped for it tbh ❤ so I’m glad you guys ended up reviewing this 🙌
Seen this game a while back played in the indie community. So excited its coming to the Switch! What a delightful mix of ideas. Love chess, enjoy rogulikes gonna be a grab down the line for me.
I can't believe something like this didn't already exist, seems like such a great and simple idea, can't wait to give it a try. I wonder if it'd actually help me not be awful at real chess as well lol 😅
This looks so cool, I've had it in my wishlist since you mentioned it in a previous video, and i'm just waiting until I have the available funds to ull the trigger on it. Thanks for the review... and thank you to the developer for sponsoring you, I guess. 😅
if you didnt cover great games and make such convincing comments early on I'd finish more of your videos. Just gotta go download it now. Thanks for the look!
I’m sad there is no meta progress.. it’s pretty much the only thing that can get me to buy a roguelike/light as I want to get stronger and have the game get easier the more I play..
I get that feeling, which is why I usually prefer Roguelites over Roguelikes. Maybe think about it like this: You don't get any stat increases, but you get another form of progression after each run: knowledge and skill.
@@matti_xiii yesh I know.. but i’m really not a fan of difficulty in games, that’s why I mostly play jrpgs so I can just grind away the difficulty if need be 😝 even roguelites are often too difficult for me to enjoy them. I wouldn’t mind them if you could, after playing dozens of hours, unlock skills that makes it a lot easier to finish the game. Never really found any game like that yet and reviews rarely talk in depth about the unlocks from meta progress so it’s hard to know..
I never liked these kinds of games until Vampire Survivors came out. Binding of Isaac almost got me, but I didn't like the art style or the creator's sophomoric sense of humor and I don't think I ever got very good at it lol but games like Vampire Survivors and Balatro have become my new obsession, this looks right up my alley.
Great idea for a mashup. Gotta be honest, playing chess makes me want to wield a shotgun sometimes. Just kidding YT. Don’t send the police to check me out. 😅
Watching the game play, I'm surprised how they changed things to make it work on console. Working with a mouse to aim is more my style, though, so I'll keep playing on PC
@@hands_of_stone Brotato is awesome. Very satisfying. Army of Ruin and Void Scrappers if you love Vampire Survivors. Dicey Dungeons is another favorite of mine and of course Hades.

I have been playing this on Steam for quite a while. Loads of fun.
Me too
Looks like a fun game. Probably wouldn’t have given it a second look without these videos
I’ve played chess my whole life. This game definitely puts a fun spin on one of my favorite board games.
It's a great achivement to give the most classic game a Twist that actually works. Really cool!

I bought this at lunch and I’m having a blast with it. Tough as nails though
At least 2 games i saw this week have "chess combat" mechanic in them. Almost as if "universe" decided: "This is the time for chess combat!!"
what are the others?
@@kjhansonkjhanson6643 There is a "chess Boss battle" in 9 years of shadow metroidvania game.
There is also a game on Steam called Chessplosion, which is a chess-themed version of Bomberman.
Great to see this gem come to Switch. Now just to get Pawnbarian ported over and we’ll have the two best chess roguelites around on here.
Looks pretty interesting and fun. I love games that put a spin on "traditional" games. So many indie developers are great thinking outside the box

What do you mean by that last but - could you give an example?

@@nubocerbo ah right, yeah that makes sense and defo an important thing to keep in mind!
It would be really funny if I this was the only form of Chess i ever learned how to play
To bad I can't equip my King with a shotgun otherwise, I would be a chess champion in no time.
As for the over saturation of roguelites we have, playing as a chess king with a shotguns sounds very innovative. I'll add this to my wishlist for sure
Certainly a neat premise. I dig the visual style too. Lovely review as usual gents, will definitely pop this on the wish list!
I love chess, shooting, rogue-likes, tactics games, pixel art, and low prices... looks like we found a winner.
Makes me think of a Devolver Digital game… definitely on my radar… unless… we’ll, maybe 😉

What a great idea, Savaloy to D4
Thank you so much for this recommendation I am having a blast on my day off. You guys are the best. I would not have learned about this game otherwise
This game looks absolutely amazing, it went on my wishlist *immediately*
What a great time to be a gamer. I'm cycling through ShotgunKing, Blasphemous 2 and Bomb Rush Cyber Funk lately. Just incredible games!
Shotguns and Chess... two of my favourite things.
Seen this game a while back played in the indie community. So excited its coming to the Switch!
What a delightful mix of ideas. Love chess, enjoy rogulikes gonna be a grab down the line for me.
Honestly, I hadn't paid this one much notice since I thought it was just chess.
Looks like a lot of fun. Reckon I'll stick it on the wish list!
Hope you both had a great holiday 🎉🎉
Game so cool can't wait to try it
Parents: why don’t you go work on your chess
Me: alright then 😏
I can't believe something like this didn't already exist, seems like such a great and simple idea, can't wait to give it a try.
I wonder if it'd actually help me not be awful at real chess as well lol 😅
I was hoping you would cover this I just saw it last night!
Very interested in playing this. Will go on my wishlist for sure.
This looks right up my alley. I love roguelites with a twist
Really nice twist on a checkers
I have this on PC, got it in a bundle and it went straight to my backlog. I think I might need to try this one out.
I was in chess club back in elementary, and now with my love of roguelites... this looks perfect! Wishlists immediately
Finally!
A version of chess I have a chance of beating my Mum at...
😂
Positive and optimistic comment !!
This definitely looks like a game I can get addicted to
looks amazing, and glad they are doing a physical
Wow this looks great, love the concept!
This is a great pick up and play game. Was great on pc and will get it on switch,perfrct for when you have a spare 20 min
Love the idea, we need more games bases on chest
seen this game a few times and looks interesting might pick it up great vid lads
I love chess, was actually on the Chess Team back in HS. What a fun take on an absolute classic.
How to reinvent chess: give them a freaking shotgun to shoot you in the freaking face! Love it :)
This looks so cool, I've had it in my wishlist since you mentioned it in a previous video, and i'm just waiting until I have the available funds to ull the trigger on it. Thanks for the review... and thank you to the developer for sponsoring you, I guess. 😅
This looks so interesting! It seems like a nice spin on it!
Oh man. I’ve been waiting for this one!
This might kill my brain lol.
It looks very tricky but very fun!
Is that physical a retail release or a limited special kinda release because I do wanna pick this one up
Ahhhh my perfect new Sunday evening pub game 😍
if you didnt cover great games and make such convincing comments early on I'd finish more of your videos. Just gotta go download it now. Thanks for the look!
Love chess. Adore roguelikes. This was a no-brainer. Thanks for giving it some attention!
looks very cool. I would try it.
I dont understand why it's 138 mb to download though 😭 that's about as much or more than cod or gta lol
this looks like one of those LUA games PICO-8 games.
Shotgun king looks like so much fun, can't wait to play it. (I love chess)
Well now I need to wait for the physical...
I’m sad there is no meta progress.. it’s pretty much the only thing that can get me to buy a roguelike/light as I want to get stronger and have the game get easier the more I play..

I love chess. This is definitely a new take on chess that I could see enjoying!
Super interested in trying this out
Surprised this game can run on the Switch.
Idk what a roguelike is but I am gonna play some before the physical copy comes out because I must play this game.
This really look funny as hell to play
Huh so a different take on chess. Looks fun!
I love chess. I'm grabbing this one now . This looks amazing. Also is there a multiplayer mode?
I love Chess and I love shotguns! This seems like a win/win for me!
What a great idea for a game! I look forward to playing t!
So I asked myself, "What is check missing..."
Love to play this looks awesome
Here i was,waiting for chess 2 and it didnt disapoint.
Hope is as fun to play as it looked in your review.
I’ve almost finished Advanced Wars, so this might be my next game.

I've been interested in this ever since watching Northernlion play it on twitch.
Saw northernlion play this ages ago and it really looks like a lot of fun. It is on my list to get
This looks 'king good
it looks so fun!
Regular Chess ❌️ Murder Chess ✅️
😂 exactly right!
Buying this asap.
Great idea for a mashup. Gotta be honest, playing chess makes me want to wield a shotgun sometimes. Just kidding YT. Don’t send the police to check me out. 😅
This seems a really cool game. Unfortunately, im thick as mince and cant play chess 😂
Don’t play chess. Don’t play roguelikes. Want this game.
I’d like to see Magnus Carlson play this
Isn't pickup! Roguelike chess with a shotgun. What more can you love about a game?!
Can I use the King’s Gambit opening? 😂
Watching the game play, I'm surprised how they changed things to make it work on console. Working with a mouse to aim is more my style, though, so I'll keep playing on PC
Does this game teach you to how to play? It looks like a lot of fun, but i’ve never played chess cus my grandfather was too strict about this
Chess but roguelike? Sign me up!! 😋
I’m an absolutely terrible chess player, maybe wielding a shotgun will help? Looks fun!
It looks great but compared to Brotato and Vampire Survivors that price tag seems steep for something that seems to have much less variety
Agreed, when it goes on sale I'll get it tho. How's Brotato? I'm loving Vampire Survivors. Any other recs?
@@hands_of_stone Brotato is awesome. Very satisfying. Army of Ruin and Void Scrappers if you love Vampire Survivors. Dicey Dungeons is another favorite of mine and of course Hades.
Sold.
Why does this game make me think of Battle Chess???
can you atack a chess peice normaly?
I want fhis
Nifty.
It seems a little expensive for the content. Vampire survivor is better bang for your buck!
Now do u have to know how to play chess in order to enjoy the game or nah🤔?
Love Chess
Looks funny
Butt you should play Real chess ❤
