About Chess Tactics
Chess Tactics is a turn-based tactical roguelike where chess meets a shooter. Control a lone king armed with powerful weapons, move across the board, predict enemy attacks and eliminate hostile chess pieces. Clear increasingly difficult chambers, unlock new weapons, choose upgrades and build a different strategy each run.
Expect arcade at its core, with a streak of board and shooter woven through the design. Use a device that supports the controls required by the game; not every browser edition supports touch input.
A couple of things help once you get going: If weapons need reloading, check the reload control and look for a safe moment to use it. Check how the game scores hits before choosing where to aim.
Press Play to load Chess Tactics in the browser player. Allow time for the game's files and any publisher screens before starting.
