## What is Jiangjun 将军?

The enemy plays perfect, classical Xiangqi. You don't have to.

JIANGJUN is a single-player roguelite built on strict Chinese Chess. March a small, persistent army of named heroes through nine escalating battles. Your fallen soldiers stay dead — forever, across every campaign — in the Hall of Fallen Heroes.

• Strict Xiangqi rules: the enemy always plays the canonical game
• Your army breaks the rules — additive upgrades, Spirits on the five-slot War Altar, one-shot Stratagems from the Thirty-Six Stratagems
• Every battle has a target: bring the enemy commander's HP to zero, or checkmate him for the finishing blow — the Shadow General himself awaits in the final battle
• Three ways to muster: the classic army, the drafting tent, or the hidden war
• Boss battles every third round with announced gimmicks
• Lasting progression: commander ranks, piece mastery, the Art of War Codex, daily campaigns and unlockable war tables
• Procedural music and sound that build with the battle, plus seed-reproducible runs — no internet required

No ads. No accounts. No data collected. Just you, a cracked board, and a general who must fall.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-10-05

The biggest update yet: the Shadow General has come.

A WAR WITH A FACE
• Every battle now has a target you can see: the enemy commander's HP. Captures, checks and combos deal damage — bring him to zero, or checkmate him for a dramatic finishing blow.
• Each battle is led by a named enemy general, while the Shadow General watches from behind the brazier — until the final battle, when he takes the field himself, with Iron Will and Rally the Fallen.
• See exactly how much damage a move will deal before you play it.

NEW HERE? START WITH PRACTICE
• A guided practice battle walks you through your first fight, step by step.

PROGRESSION THAT LASTS
• Commander ranks: every campaign you fight, won or lost, earns XP — promotions unlock new spirits, stratagems and upgrades.
• Mastery of Arms: master each piece type to unlock new upgrades and its legendary artifacts.
• Art of War Codex: discover every upgrade, spirit, stratagem, encounter and boss.
• Win streaks, a Daily Campaign, and milestone moments to celebrate.
• Seven war-table themes (six to unlock), each with its own ambience and music.
• The Hall of Fallen Heroes now ranks the worthy into tiers.

DEEPER BATTLES
• Legendary artifacts reworked and far more powerful.
• Bigger stratagems, bolder spirits, and the Four Symbols set.
• Forced March: spend gold for extra moves.
• Reworked bosses (Twin Generals, The Flood, Tax Collector) and fairer checks on both sides.
• More moves per battle and a full balance pass.

LOOKS, SOUND & FEEL
• New battle effects: stratagem stamps, chain captures, spirit animations and finishing blows.
• Music with full arrangements that build with the battle.
• A new camp menu to pause, return to the war table, or abandon a campaign.
• Touch-friendly tooltips, full-screen iPhone support, and many fixes.

### 1.1 — 2026-08-28

The biggest update since launch — new music, a clearer scoring system, and a deeper campaign.

• Original soundtrack — procedural music now scores every phase of your campaign: the menu, battle, boss duels, victory, and the war-camp shop each get their own theme.
• Simpler scoring: Mate or Points — capture value now adds up as material points, so it's obvious how well you're doing. Checkmate still wins outright.
• New content — fresh stratagems, war spirits, bosses, upgrades, and random encounters to discover across your runs.
• Move-budget warnings — on-screen alerts and a sound cue when you're down to your last few moves, so no more running out by surprise.
• How to Play Xiangqi — a built-in Chinese Chess primer with diagrams for newcomers.
• Separate music & sound toggles, greyed-out locked seals, and a full balance pass across the whole campaign.

Thanks for playing 将军. More to come!
