DEATH CHESS
Death Chess is chess with a body count. Every capture triggers a kill cam, every check tightens the dread, and the board remembers what happened on it. Play classic rules against a CPU that can be set from Easy to Nightmare, or enter Powers mode, where every piece rolls a special ability before the first move.
FEATURES
- Full chess rules with a cutscene for every kill, plus a rare death you may or may not ever see
- Four CPU levels. Nightmare unlocks when you beat Hard
- Powers mode: martyrs, shockwaves, guillotines, novas and more
- Online play: matchmaking, a global leaderboard and ELO ratings
- Ranked games against a matched CPU opponent
- Challenges, hidden secrets and several endings
- Souls currency from wins, daily quests and challenges
- Unlockable death effects, piece skins, titles and nametags. Some are bought, some earned, and a few are only for the top of the leaderboard
- Calm mode, volume sliders and fullscreen
WARNING: flashing lights, loud sounds, jumpscares.
