About Chessplosion

Chessplosion is an arcade action puzzle game where you drop chess piece bombs to create chain reactions and trap opponents. Defeat enemies and bosses in Adventure Mode and the roguelike-inspired Dungeon Mode, break targets with limited bombs in Puzzle Mode, or fight friends and AI in Battle Mode.

Defeat a variety of enemy types and boss fights in Adventure Mode, inspired by the movement patterns of chess pieces. Avoid charging Rooks, don't get shot by Bishops' diagonal projectiles, and watch out for stomping Knights.

Venture into randomized dungeons in Dungeon Mode, defeating enemies and collecting money on your search for the Grandblaster Crown. A wide array of powerful upgrades and weapons mean that no two runs are the same!

Solve over 100 puzzles in Puzzle Mode, by using limited bombs to cause a chain reaction and break the targets. Or use the Puzzle Editor to create your own puzzles and share them with friends!

Dodge explosions in Survival Mode, where you're pitted against waves of tricky bomb patterns. It starts simple enough, but by the end you'll be dodging bullet hell Queen explosions and solving chess puzzles in real-time.

Go head to head in Battle Mode, either fighting against the AI or against other players in online or local multiplayer. If you want a change from the regular Free For All Battles or Team Battles, the Tennis Battle mode lets you throw bombs over the center line to create bomb patterns for your opponent to dodge.

Features

  • Fight through 8 bosses and over 90 stages in Adventure Mode.
  • Explore randomized dungeons in Dungeon Mode.
  • Solve over 100 target-breaking puzzles in Puzzle Mode, or create your own puzzles and share them with friends.
  • Survive over 10 stages of explosion-dodging challenges in Survival Mode.
  • Battle your friends in 20 different arenas in Battle Mode, with up to 4 players in online or local multiplayer.
  • Use the comprehensive Assist Mode to adjust the game to your liking by tweaking health, lives, game speed, or outright skipping troublesome stages.

Think Bomberman plus chess and you get this fun game that has way more depth than it should have. Its a fairly interesting game where all the bombs have different effects based on the chess pieces that really make you think about where actually can be considered a safe spot until you get blindsided by a bishop, knight, or king. This game offers a lot of modes that keep people invested from a puzzle mode, adventure mode, and even volleyball, survival, and dungeon runs. The game is well thought out and is an unique take on the classic Bomberman series.
