Summon new pieces, move multiple times, trample opponents, and unleash 100+ arcana - a tactical chess roguelite where the AI casts back. Climb the Gauntlet one floor at a time.
Your mind is the armory.
Tactorius takes the foundation of chess and expands it into a spell-driven system where strategy is created in the moment, not memorized in advance. Every match is shaped by your decisions, what you equip, how you adapt, and what you see that your opponent doesn't.
Over 100 spells let you summon pieces, alter their move patterns, warp mechanics, and chain interactions in ways never imagined. With 6 spells per loadout and countless combinations, no two matches play the same.
Gauntlet:
The centerpiece. Climb a tower of increasingly difficult encounters across 80+ unique enemy and boss types. Earn spell points, build your spell tree, and find the run that cracks the top floor.
Spell Lab:
Experiment with the new spells and pieces. Try out suggested game modes. Save your loadouts.
Skirmish:
Pick a commander and leverage their spells and units to your advantage. Play a match against the engine.
Training:
Learn the pieces, learn the spells, learn what's possible.
