Games Like Chess 3: The Final Chapter

Playtest Chess 3!

The first playtest for Chess 3 is live! This is a very early dev build focused on finding the relative power and difficulty of different Modules and Liberties. It's currently missing the skill tree which will be added in next couple weeks. Expect near-daily patches and frequent major changes. This playtest will run until Oct 31st. I'm eager to hear your thoughts and suggestions so join the discussions on the playtest discord (link in-game), use the in-game feedback menu (F8), or drop a line in the steam community.

About the Game

Chess 3 is a turn-based tactics roguelike about turning Stockfish against itself with crushing tactics

Use chess fundamentals and rule-bending Liberties to setup crushing tactics that exploit Stockfish's plan. Every checkmate earns Insight that buy you upgrades from a procedural skill tree. And you're going to need all the synergies you can get, as each round Stockfish gains Modules that ratchet up the difficulty by giving it ways to fight back. Find a way to the end of the skill tree and defeat Stockfish in its final form.

Chess 3 is early in development, so a lot might change! But here's what will be in the playtest:

In addition to more Modules and Liberties, here's what's cooking on the roadmap:
