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
