There's so much Shotgun King to watch on this channel! Check out the full playlist of videos here: ua-cam.com/play/PLIwiAebpd5CLjusQtt46WYv08caEEU6z3.html
@@Aliensrock fun fact about the update, you know how before there was the secret bishop final boss? There are now 2 more. Hint for the two, the queen is needed for one and the horses are needed for another. That’s all!
I love how this was maximum espionage. The pawn is your spy. The horse is helping your movement. You were able to replace your opponent's best queen by empowering his mistress.
@@Aliensrock If you are going for opponent synergies, there is a secret boss if you go for some bishop synergies and leave only a bishop alive for the final boss. One of the cards that can lead to it is the spy card (along with the fake king card). Also if you didn't get the one that made the king invulnerable while there was knights on the board, there is another secret fight if you leave only 4 knights on the board once the final boss is dead.
The editing is actually phenomenal. Like Tyler having his own box and showing the stats of what each upgrade does so its easy to follow what is happening. Its a level of polish that you don't see often with gaming UA-camrs that I really appreciate
"Hey King! It's me, the spy! I'm over here!" "Oh, I see the spy. So do I need to eliminate him or what?" "...What?" "Yeah, maybe. Yeah, that might be the catch." "No, nononono! Hold on, I'm on your side, remember?" "So if I come on over to the spy, what happens?" "No, n-no wait! What are you doing!? WAIT! STOP!!! STOPSTOPSTO-"
So a quick tip for the new update: there's a way to highlight every square currently being attacked. It's done by pressing the mouse wheel I believe. Won't help much against discovered checks but can make it easier to tell which squares are safe (especially with some of the wackier effects on enemy moves).
The rook didn’t discover check you at 16:30 because of the castling card. Whenever the king gets damaged, the rook is stunned to prevent discovered checks. Even though it can’t swap places with the boss, it still triggers the stun. Great to see you playing the masterpiece again!
Hi Tyler's editor. Hey Ty, guys here, these videos are 10/10. The smile on my face seeing a shotgun king video come up. I hope you guys both get a cold side of the pillow to sleep on tonight. it's 1000% deserved. have a good day!
I'm glad people are showing appreciation for the editing, because the inclusion of things like prolonged info boxes for the viewers and in-theme additions make the video so much more enjoyable
14:18 The completely unnecesary overkill for BM points. I actually wanted him to take the king down with the blade (if he could) to add to the disrespect, but I guess this was also good.
The rook didn't attack at 16:30 because you hit the king, causing him to "swap" with the rook, which stuns it for the duration of the turn. It didn't actually swap because the big king is too big to swap with anything, but it still stunned the rook.
The rook didn't attack you at 16:33 because of Castle. You hit the big king, which redirected damage to the rook. Normally, they'd swap places but the big king can't swap. It still applied the stun it gives the pieces so you don't swap the rook into your face and die.
I just finished the game 100% a few days ago, all endings, all challenges, all difficulties, this was a harsh journey but worth every second of the 130h I put into it! Happy to see you're back to it!
@@bend.7590 1. Because the Switch is portable. This is of particular note for people who live in countries other than America, as they have the innovation of actually good public transport, and the Switch (and Steam Deck) are drastically better than a laptop on most forms of public transport. 2. The exclusives. While you probably won't like ALL of them, the Swich has far and away the broadest and deepest selection of exclusives of the three current consoles, ranging from the obvious Mario, Zelda and Pokemon titles to the genre defining Metroid series, the cute innocence of Kirby to the decidedly not innocent Bayonetta, the legendary Xenoblade Chronicles series and the less reputed Pikmin series. Oh, and did I mention Splatoon?
There are more ending bosses and endings you can trigger now. I’m not completely across how they all work, so if you haven’t, I would advise looking into how to fight them.
I suspected they improved the IA on floor 8 when the Rook went to the second rank instead of checking you. On the second rank he could either kill you if you forgot the knockback, or trap you for the pawns put you in check next turn. Much better than a simple check.
16:34 Rook didn't attack you as you also hit the king, perfoming their swap, although because the king is very big they don't actually change spaces but the Rook does get stunned and damaged for the "swapping", you live this time.
I just had a thought: The fact that the arrows only move about one tile per turn implies the king is Moving at the Speed of an Arrow, which, while not lightspeed level stuff, is enough to make me say this: The shotgun king is stuck in an action movie, How else is he reloading a shotgun in a single turn, While moving at the aforementioned speeds, and being able to Strategise enough to Avoid capture all at the same time? also, no, I don't wanna hear "Oh it's just game logic," I'm aware, I just wanted to bring this up since i thought it was funny, anyways i'm done ranting for now, so bye :D
You should be able to take pieces just like normal and when you take them they would just die but there'd be a rare upgrade that makes them convert to your side and spawn on a random black tile
16:30 you didn't get attacked by the rook because it wasn't shaking, pieces shaking shows movement on the next turn and because the rook wasn't shaking it could not attack.
In this game, all pieces(&pawns) can attack out of turn (they only have to wait for the timer when moving normally). Otherwise the game would be too easy. The actual answer is that "Castle" swaps the king and a rook upon recieving damage, stunning both of them, and the rook(s) take all of damage for the king. In the boss fight, even though the king is too large to be swapped, the rest of the effects(including stunning the rook) still happen. As the rook is stunned, he cannot attack the king.
I loved your old video's about this game. I remeber you never got the other ending. There is one more reqierment for it ( without Counting red book) . At the final fight you need to keep bishoop alive. After beating the king while one bishoop is alive and you have red book your set for the batle

Hey Tyler, you should play The Rookery for another Chess Roguelike
Editing so seamless I didn't even realize Tyler's box is not part of the game
It should be
Every game should have a Tyler dedicated box in their hud
Right, thank you editor Ben
Wait where do I need to go to see a picture of Tyler’s box? 🤔
@ ayo
I love how this was maximum espionage. The pawn is your spy. The horse is helping your movement. You were able to replace your opponent's best queen by empowering his mistress.
And I guess the lesson is be careful if you are a spy working for Tyler or he might murder you
@paulomatute4114 as long as you aren't tyler's first spy
@paulomatute4114 he was a double agent, can't be trusted

He deserves it :3
He has been contained... For now...
Just about to comment this
It’s part of the new update. The Tyler upgrade
Thank goodness he was so close to escaping containment

That Tyler box could have fooled us. Maybe we should just add it to the game... 🤔
Great video! Thanks for giving our game some more love!!
Great game! Thanks for making a fun game packed with many hidden interactions and good time for hours!

is this gonna become another peglin situation where a new thing gets added and its called "alien's rock"

@@jasan9973 correct. Middle mouse button toggles it on. Honestly I wish there were an option to have it always enabled.
16:30 rook didn't checkmate due to king 'swapping' with rook which stuns the rook (no swap actually happened due to the king being so large)

Spy pawn: Hey, boss, I'm here when you're ready - just give me the word
Tyler: *racks shotgun*
I mean, the King is canonically an asshole and a terrible ruler.

Turmoil, peglin, and now shotgun king? You’re really spoiling us Tyler, thanks so much ❤
Thanks Ben for giving Tyler his own little Box
Shotgun King absolutely deserves his space on the outro scene. Prop his shotgun against the portal boulder, maybe?
14:18 The completely unnecesary overkill for BM points. I actually wanted him to take the king down with the blade (if he could) to add to the disrespect, but I guess this was also good.
4:42 "woof" -aliensrock 2025
Why use an opening, when you can just use a shotgun!!
1:43 you almost lost the game if the pawn behind the horse was damages with one more pellet lmao
Pawn: SIR, I HAVE EXCRUCIATING INFORMATION ABOUT THE WHITE KING
Tyler: KA-CHA-POW 💥💥 🗣️🗣️🔥
the editing is on point, the gameplay is simple but fun... glad to see this series returning!
The king shooting arrows makes it feel like chess-themed superhot
The rook didn't attack at 16:30 because you hit the king, causing him to "swap" with the rook, which stuns it for the duration of the turn. It didn't actually swap because the big king is too big to swap with anything, but it still stunned the rook.

Nice, always good to see new Aliensrock content
Editing is so smooth

I realize that Sawed off justice (at least depending how you use it) can have no downsides if used correctly
So glad to see this return! Not my sort of game since I suck at chess, but it's really entertaining to watch
Let's go!! Shotgun king is so back!!! 🔥🔥🗣🗣
9:36 "nobody protects the king uh except for spread"
I bought Shotgun King on my switch a few days ago and I don’t think I’ve seen the Tag Team upgrade shown at 1:16
I guess the latest update hasn’t reached the switch yet
Of course not, why would you get anything on a Switch?

@@alexstewart9592 Sounds like excuses to me. Also, bad Public transportation is exactly why handheld gaming is better in the US. Longer commutes.
dude I gotta try this game! 😮
I love the "Tyler" label, very funny
Let's go! I just got the game recently (together with Peglin, both because of you) and it's great to see it back!
Oh wow great editing compared to last shotgun king videos ! Good job Ben Ranger :D
This guy has the best editor of any youtuber I've seen
I would love to see more shotgun chess, this series was so fun in the past, hope to see more of it!
I love shotgun king. Really creative take on chess
One of my favourite series returning on my birthday? This truly is one of the greatest president of all time!
Happy birthday :)
happy birthday sandise
I've been playing Shotgun king since you introduced me to it in an earlier video. It's nice to see you return to it.
Better run, better run, faster than my
WE'RE SO BACK LADS!

I loved shotgun king!
the editing is pretty cool
Someone’s been watching the good place
loved this game the first time round, hopefully it continues to be a banger
haha i get it
THANK YOU

Chess blasting ammunition
dude I've been trying to write my college apps the last two weeks and you've been the perfect distraction with these great vids haha
I adore Shotgun King- I'm so happy to see that it's back!
Commenting for the algorithm. Love this game so much, I’m gonna have to go rewatch all the previous episodes while I wait for a new one

Because of you I got this game a few years back. I totally forgot about it and need to get back on it.
Guys what are ur favorite chess variants?
I like FPS chess and orobourous chess lmao but im kinda curious to see what y'all's favorites are
Love that you’re playing this again
So happy to see more shotgun king! Such a cool take on chess
“King king! It’s me, your spy!”
Tyler: shoot him like the traitor he is
SGKing, Peglin, Turmoil and Potion Craft?
This is the era of returning
Thumbnail was so cool I had to watch! 😁😊
Hope we are going to see more, this was, is and probably will be one of my favorite games
14:15 tyler you can't murder people! of course i can i have 18 power in shotgun king
Excited to see you play shotgun king again 🎉
Glad to see this again
Everyone is talking about the Tyler box but nobody is talking about the Tyler trapped in the Tyler box
It seems you may have forgotten, if you move into check and get an extra turn, you have the opportunity then to move out of check
I may have spoke too soon...
me when im attempting to reach my king with vital information from behind enemy lines, but then he points his shotgun at me:
Amazing editor
12:00 I wonder why the enemy card turned into a dove there 😅
EVERYTHING COMING BACK BABY
It’s back! Yay this was fun to watch
Dude the game wich got me into this channel is back... Oh my god

at 1:44 tyler could've lost
How?
@@Woopy-boi-good if 6 power hit the 2 pawns there would've been a discovered check by the rook
@@Ryelplaysgames I see
Ben cooked on this one... and Tyler was ok too I guess.
You should be able to take pieces just like normal and when you take them they would just die but there'd be a rare upgrade that makes them convert to your side and spawn on a random black tile
talk about coincidences.
i was just recently looking back at both shotgun king and ouroboros king, and then this shows up
Yessir I loved the videos you made with shotgun king
16:30 you didn't get attacked by the rook because it wasn't shaking, pieces shaking shows movement on the next turn and because the rook wasn't shaking it could not attack.

Shot gun king is back and good Tyler videos are back
Let’s see Tyler get some of the secret endings!
YES THANK YOU TYLER FOR MY CHESS ROUGHLIKE GAMEPLAY ADDICTION XD
So glad this game is back
I loved your old video's about this game. I remeber you never got the other ending. There is one more reqierment for it ( without Counting red book) . At the final fight you need to keep bishoop alive. After beating the king while one bishoop is alive and you have red book your set for the batle
8:10 should have killed you I think? revealed check rook swap. The fact it didn't is either a bug or them being very generous with the mechanic IMO XD
He was on an extra turn spot
Yay aliensock video on shotgun king
I recommend using the Victoria shotgun in higher difficulties
Love this series and all your vids
We are so back
SHOTGUN KING BACK??? woo!
So excited this game is back
I love your channel, I am a long time fan.
I think the worst white card (for white) is by far ruin, which adds a rook and 2 pawns, but minus 2 rook hp
Tyler box! I love it!
I hope more vids have something to do with the webcam like the Tyler box, it looks so cool!
oh my god, when i saw this was so excited! I love this game so much :D
