The rules of chess have been broken. Victory is no longer decided by a single, careful move, but by split-second decisions and god-like control. Mechanical Chess is a fast and furious real-time chess that has thrown off the shackles of turn-based gameplay. Forget taking turns. In Mechanical Chess, every piece moves in real-time at your command. The strategic depth of chess collides with the intense micro-control of an RTS. Control multiple pieces at once to flank your opponent, dodge incoming attacks with lightning-fast reflexes, and shatter their king's defense before they can react. Key Features INTENSE REAL-TIME PVP: Forget turns, and test your mechanics against players from around the world. There is only skill. CHALLENGING SINGLE-PLAYER: Hone your strategies against a variety of AI opponents and conquer a series of unique campaign missions. CLIMB THE GLOBAL LEADERBOARDS: Win matches, increase your ELO rating, and see how you stack up against the very best under your banner of Gambit Forge. STRATEGY MEETS ACTION: Experience the timeless depth of chess fused with the adrenaline-pumping, moment-to-moment gameplay of a real-time strategy game. From solo developer Gambit Forge, this game was forged with a passion for chess and a love for action-strategy games. We look forward to seeing you on the new battlefield!
