Yes! Now make it a roguelike!
Fantastic Idea, I love that its Easy to learn (with comprehensible UI and visuals) but no doubt hard to master.
Overall, I would say that with a bit of polishing this could be released as a full game.
Love the idea!
I really love this concept! Chess with a small set of RNG movesets is a great concept. It felt very satisfying to string together a series of moves that let you take a piece
Cool concept! Having every piece be able to make different chess moves is very clever.
I was so confused until I realized this was supposed to be for 2 players lol
Nice and simple game that's well made. Having some basic AI here would go a long way (even if it just tried all options this turn and greedily went for kills). Some joy is lost from lack of AI (and lack of friends haha).
The idea that a single piece can move many times per turn and assume different roles is great! My feedback on the game is: GIVE ME MORE. (more moves, units, map obstacles, non-chess moves, abilities, recruiting units, AoE attacks etc.)
Well played . really enjoyed playing with my team
Nice entry! Would be nice to have AI to play against but I totally get how difficult that would be to implement, especially considering how different the rules are to normal chess.
I really liked the game, but one suggestion would be to make one of the sides controlled by AI. Making the player play on both sides can sometimes lead to frustrating experiences.
Genuinely a very creative concept. The integration of the dice feels very natural to the design of the game, great work!
Very creative game, very interesting and good idea. A very simple AI for singleplayer would be great!
Super fun - although being able to chain all three moves on one piece can make some rounds really frustrating.
This is a very creative game that plays with how chess works.
