About Rooklike Gambit

✦ AI summary

Rooklike Gambit is a real-time tactical chess game where you command pieces that actively shoot across the board to destroy the enemy King while defending your own. Collect resources, level up surviving troops with randomized abilities, and battle through a campaign or face escalating challenges against the Black King on the leaderboard.

Make your gambit as each battle will require your tactical wit and reflexes be in top shape: playing chess is hard, playing chess in real-time is harder, playing chess in real-time where pieces can shoot across the board is AWESOME. Destroy the enemy King, but don't forget to defend your own, or it's game over!

Your surviving pieces will gain XP after each mission, when leveling up they can gain powerful abilities from a randomized selection.

Collect wood and stone, earn gold by killing enemy pieces, look for treasure chests hidden on the map! Each resource is valuable to recruit troops or craft items providing passive bonuses.

Two different gamemodes are available:

In the Campaign you must defeat the enemy all through the land of to earn back your kingdom.

Going for the Challenge means you need to beat the Black King with its ever increasing army on the regular chessboard. Earn the top scoire on the Steam leaderboard!
