About this game Read the full description
Outthink. Outlast. Outplay.
Step into a tactical roguelike where every battle is a puzzle, every move matters, and defeat is just the start of the story! Assemble your team of unique idiots and fight through 4 dangerous regions — each with its own enemies, gimmicks, and secrets... From goblin ambushes in dense forests to mind-bending traps in a forgotten library, every encounter forces you to adapt your strategy.
Chess with Idiots is a turn based strategy roguelike. You control a self made team of 'Idiots' with the goal of completing as many runs as possible. A run starts at the forest and ends at the final boss on top of the volcano. Finishing a run allows you to either continue, or completely end your run. If you decide to continue, you restart at the forest but will notice that all the enemies have become a lot stronger...
Key Features
Custom turn order - Determine the order of actions yourself and create the optimal strategy.
Four Distinct Regions – Forest, Cave, Library, and Volcano — each with unique visuals, challenges, and bosses.
Roguelike Progression – Unlock new characters, abilities, and strategies with each run.
Dynamic Encounters – No two battles play out the same thanks to randomized enemy setups.
Environmental Hazards – Lava flows, collapsing tiles, magical anomalies, and more keep the battlefield alive.
Handcrafted 2D Art & Effects – Colorful environments and smooth animations bring each region to life.
Will you conquer the dragon at the heart of the volcano… or become just another hero swallowed by the flames?
DISCLAIMER! This game is not a variant of chess, it is it's own concept but influenced by the game of chess.
