About GRIDLOCK GAMBIT

A roguelike tower defense where you build your own maze on a chessboard that reshapes itself every turn.

Place white pieces as towers, combine them with traps and cards, and hold back the advancing army of black chess pieces.

♜ Six Chess Towers

•
The Pawn and Knight, attacking single targets
•
The Bishop and Rook, striking along diagonals and straight lines at once
•
The Queen, calling down lightning on every enemy in range
•
The King, dealing massive damage to a single enemy

Limited resources, and a choice: which piece goes where? Placement itself becomes your strategy.

♞ Blocks

Unlike traditional tower defense games, GRIDLOCK GAMBIT has you carve out the enemy's path yourself.

•
Enemies that leap over single-tile walls
•
Enemies that warp forward in a straight line
•
Enemies that stun your towers

Read each enemy's ability and rebuild your maze to match a board that changes every turn.

♝ Traps

•
Electric shocks that stop enemies
•
Poison swamps
•
Pitfalls

Lay traps with all kinds of effects across the chessboard to disrupt the invading army.

♛ Cards

Buy cards from the shop each run and build a deck.

•
Builds around Bishop and Rook line attacks
•
Builds around the single-target Knight and Pawn
•
Builds where the shape of your maze powers up your towers
•
Builds centered on traps
