About Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate
You're a lone king with a shotgun fighting an entire chess army—move and shoot each turn to survive checkmate and eliminate the enemy king across escalating floors. Every victory offers strategic upgrade choices for you and your foes, with 20 difficulty ranks, endless mode, and 100+ achievements to master in this roguelike chess-shooter hybrid.
Every turn, you may either move your king or shoot at enemy pieces, after what you'll need to move again to reload your shotgun. Avoid checkmate and kill the enemy king to complete the floor. After each floor, you may choose between two random combinations of one upgrade for you and one upgrade for the other side. Choose wisely and keep on winning floors and you just may get your kingdom back.
The game features many unlockable cards, 20 ranks of difficulty, over 100 achievements to complete, an endless mode, an arcade-style chase mode, a new charnier mode where you go raiding the kingdom, mod support, and free content updates.
Runs may take ~20 minutes to complete.
Play with mouse and keyboard, or with a game controller.
Plays great on the Steam Deck!

They put a great accessibility feature behind cheats now, so the game is much harder and less fun. Yay!
