WizardChess is Deckbuilding Chess. The roguelike gameplay includes procedurally generated maps, randomized encounters, individual unit modifiers and permadeath. It is designed to challenge the player strategically through short runs (20-30 minutes) with gameplay that is simply to pick up, but near impossible to master!
The balance is ♥♥♥♥. The best strategy is always to just make 4-5 megaunits and then you are literally unstoppable. Ridiculous.
As others have already written, this game has nothing in common with chess. Except that the board is made of squares, and units move vertically, horizontally, and diagonally. Perhaps if hints explaining all the rules were easily accessible (e.g., in bubbles when you hover over a detail) and the UI weren't so clunky, it would even be a fun game. But...
The music is fun and the visual outlook is charming. Writing is silly, but as others have written, nothing in common with chess and very frustrating at times.
nothing chess about this???
you can just make a power house unit and just use them the entire time for everything. all upgrades go to 1 or 2 units
