Step into a new arena where strategy meets speed. In Mechanical Chess, you pit your wits against the clock, facing off against opponents who demand both precision and planning.
About this game
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.
