laidback typa game, you can hardly get bored from smth like this. I enjoy the solo playin that only you move them pieces, you ain t got no enemies or have to think much about moves, u just enjoy munchin on them pieces. I really enjoy the replayability, a roguelite done as it should be. Also big ups for all the homemade graphic design and animations. 10/10 would leave my wife to play this

The first 30 minutes were a bit rough for me. There's definitely a learning curve, and it took some time before the mechanics really clicked. The tutorial helped, but I still needed a few runs to fully understand how everything worked. Once it started to make sense, though, the game became incredibly fun. The hour I spent playing flew by. I already enjoy chess and chess puzzles, but the roguelike twist adds a whole new layer of depth. Upgrading pieces, unlocking abilities, and using skills during runs makes every encounter feel fresh and engaging. If you're a fan of chess puzzles and enjoy roguelike progression systems, this is an easy recommendation.

I actually tried the demo back when it was available, and I knew right then that the concept was awesome. Now that the full game is out and I've put a few hours into it, it’s even better and super catchy. Once you start figuring out the synergies and broken upgrades, it gets incredibly addictive. It's so satisfying to hit big combos on the board. Definitely recommend it!

Shattered Chess proves that chess-inspired games can still feel fresh and innovative. Great strategic depth, satisfying progression, and enough variety to keep every run interesting. Easy to pick up, difficult to put down. One of the most unique indie games I've played recently.

A very cool game inspired by balatro, you can get crazy combos with the right abilities, perks and if you capture with all your pieces, don't spam just one. I like the gameplay, had to remember how to actually play chess, not just spam capturing, you have to think in advance to get some good combos. I recommend this game.
