Me too

Looks like a fun game. Probably wouldn’t have given it a second look without these videos

I’ve played chess my whole life. This game definitely puts a fun spin on one of my favorite board games.

Been playing this a lot, awesome game! Click down the left stick to see where the opponent moving options! Helps a TON, also head up. The shaking pieces are the one moving next. This game is fairly deep, I like the blade builds! This means you can upgrade and one hit melee sometime with a stun if you get the upgrade card!

It's a great achivement to give the most classic game a Twist that actually works. Really cool!

I bought this at lunch and I’m having a blast with it. Tough as nails though

Great to see this gem come to Switch. Now just to get Pawnbarian ported over and we’ll have the two best chess roguelites around on here.

Oh snap! Ive been playing this on PC for a while and i didnt know it was coming to switch and getting a physical! I really like the "you and your enemy" power up system because it keeps the balance from being too overpowered on either side. Also protip: be careful who youre shooting at! If you kill a piece that has another piece behind it with a movement option towards you it will bypass your shields and kill you on the spot

@@voodooguitarz let's say on your board you're about to shoot a pawn that has a rook behind it. If you kill the pawn, the rook now has a clear path to checkmate you even if you have full shields. Same thing goes for bishops and especially queens. It's easy to overlook and I've lost a handful games that way

Looks pretty interesting and fun. I love games that put a spin on "traditional" games. So many indie developers are great thinking outside the box

At least 2 games i saw this week have "chess combat" mechanic in them. Almost as if "universe" decided: "This is the time for chess combat!!"

There is also a game on Steam called Chessplosion, which is a chess-themed version of Bomberman.

It would be really funny if I this was the only form of Chess i ever learned how to play

Makes me think of a Devolver Digital game… definitely on my radar… unless… we’ll, maybe 😉

Certainly a neat premise. I dig the visual style too. Lovely review as usual gents, will definitely pop this on the wish list!

Looks really cool. It’s been on my wishlist for a bit. Your video encourages me to keep it on the list.

As for the over saturation of roguelites we have, playing as a chess king with a shotguns sounds very innovative. I'll add this to my wishlist for sure

I love chess, shooting, rogue-likes, tactics games, pixel art, and low prices... looks like we found a winner.

I love a bit of strategy. Recently finished Disgaea story mode. Even though I'm not a fan of chess myself, it looks like an entertaining game, well paced too.

@@Whocareslol420 I know that feeling, kind of an addiction.

Honestly never heard of it until Glen mentioned it in a the upcoming games video series but I’m super hyped for it tbh ❤ so I’m glad you guys ended up reviewing this 🙌

This game looks absolutely amazing, it went on my wishlist *immediately*

What a great time to be a gamer. I'm cycling through ShotgunKing, Blasphemous 2 and Bomb Rush Cyber Funk lately. Just incredible games!

What a great idea, Savaloy to D4

Seen this game a while back played in the indie community. So excited its coming to the Switch! What a delightful mix of ideas. Love chess, enjoy rogulikes gonna be a grab down the line for me.

Very interested in playing this. Will go on my wishlist for sure.

I can't believe something like this didn't already exist, seems like such a great and simple idea, can't wait to give it a try. I wonder if it'd actually help me not be awful at real chess as well lol 😅

I was hoping you would cover this I just saw it last night!

Parents: why don’t you go work on your chess Me: alright then 😏

I was in chess club back in elementary, and now with my love of roguelites... this looks perfect! Wishlists immediately

This looks right up my alley. I love roguelites with a twist

Game so cool can't wait to try it

Really nice twist on a checkers

I have this on PC, got it in a bundle and it went straight to my backlog. I think I might need to try this one out.

To bad I can't equip my King with a shotgun otherwise, I would be a chess champion in no time.

Hope you both had a great holiday 🎉🎉

Honestly, I hadn't paid this one much notice since I thought it was just chess. Looks like a lot of fun. Reckon I'll stick it on the wish list!

Love the idea, we need more games bases on chest

This is a great pick up and play game. Was great on pc and will get it on switch,perfrct for when you have a spare 20 min

seen this game a few times and looks interesting might pick it up great vid lads

Oh man. I’ve been waiting for this one!

Wow this looks great, love the concept!

Thank you so much for this recommendation I am having a blast on my day off. You guys are the best. I would not have learned about this game otherwise

Shotguns and Chess... two of my favourite things.

looks amazing, and glad they are doing a physical

This definitely looks like a game I can get addicted to

This looks so cool, I've had it in my wishlist since you mentioned it in a previous video, and i'm just waiting until I have the available funds to ull the trigger on it. Thanks for the review... and thank you to the developer for sponsoring you, I guess. 😅

This looks so interesting! It seems like a nice spin on it!

I love chess, was actually on the Chess Team back in HS. What a fun take on an absolute classic.

looks very cool. I would try it.

This might kill my brain lol. It looks very tricky but very fun!

Super interested in trying this out

What a great idea for a game! I look forward to playing t!

How to reinvent chess: give them a freaking shotgun to shoot you in the freaking face! Love it :)

Love chess. Adore roguelikes. This was a no-brainer. Thanks for giving it some attention!

Idk what a roguelike is but I am gonna play some before the physical copy comes out because I must play this game.

it looks so fun!

Love to play this looks awesome

if you didnt cover great games and make such convincing comments early on I'd finish more of your videos. Just gotta go download it now. Thanks for the look!

Saw northernlion play this ages ago and it really looks like a lot of fun. It is on my list to get

Ahhhh my perfect new Sunday evening pub game 😍

this looks like one of those LUA games PICO-8 games.

Here i was,waiting for chess 2 and it didnt disapoint. Hope is as fun to play as it looked in your review.

I’ve almost finished Advanced Wars, so this might be my next game.

Buying this asap.

I never liked these kinds of games until Vampire Survivors came out. Binding of Isaac almost got me, but I didn't like the art style or the creator's sophomoric sense of humor and I don't think I ever got very good at it lol but games like Vampire Survivors and Balatro have become my new obsession, this looks right up my alley.

Shotgun king looks like so much fun, can't wait to play it. (I love chess)

Well now I need to wait for the physical...

This really look funny as hell to play

Positive and optimistic comment !!

This looks 'king good

Finally! A version of chess I have a chance of beating my Mum at...

Isn't pickup! Roguelike chess with a shotgun. What more can you love about a game?!

I love Chess and I love shotguns! This seems like a win/win for me!

Is that physical a retail release or a limited special kinda release because I do wanna pick this one up

Huh so a different take on chess. Looks fun!

Surprised this game can run on the Switch.

Watching the game play, I'm surprised how they changed things to make it work on console. Working with a mouse to aim is more my style, though, so I'll keep playing on PC

I've been interested in this ever since watching Northernlion play it on twitch.

I love chess. This is definitely a new take on chess that I could see enjoying!

I love chess. I'm grabbing this one now . This looks amazing. Also is there a multiplayer mode?

So I asked myself, "What is check missing..."

I dont understand why it's 138 mb to download though 😭 that's about as much or more than cod or gta lol

I’m sad there is no meta progress.. it’s pretty much the only thing that can get me to buy a roguelike/light as I want to get stronger and have the game get easier the more I play..

@xiii.5331

I get that feeling, which is why I usually prefer Roguelites over Roguelikes. Maybe think about it like this: You don't get any stat increases, but you get another form of progression after each run: knowledge and skill.

@@xiii.5331 yesh I know.. but i’m really not a fan of difficulty in games, that’s why I mostly play jrpgs so I can just grind away the difficulty if need be 😝 even roguelites are often too difficult for me to enjoy them. I wouldn’t mind them if you could, after playing dozens of hours, unlock skills that makes it a lot easier to finish the game. Never really found any game like that yet and reviews rarely talk in depth about the unlocks from meta progress so it’s hard to know..

This seems a really cool game. Unfortunately, im thick as mince and cant play chess 😂

Can I use the King’s Gambit opening? 😂

Does this game teach you to how to play? It looks like a lot of fun, but i’ve never played chess cus my grandfather was too strict about this

can you atack a chess peice normaly?

Don’t play chess. Don’t play roguelikes. Want this game.

It seems a little expensive for the content. Vampire survivor is better bang for your buck!

Now do u have to know how to play chess in order to enjoy the game or nah🤔?

Chess but roguelike? Sign me up!! 😋

This looks tres bonne
