About

Rogue King

Features
Read full description

You are the king. Your army is gone. All you have is your wits and an arsenal of superpowers that break every rule of chess. Rogue King is a roguelike chess game where you control a lone king fighting through waves of enemy pieces. Survive each level, earn new abilities, and push deeper into the run. Superpowers change everything. Leap like a knight. Charge like a rook. Freeze enemies in place. Summon decoys. Teleport across the board. Move twice in one turn. Every run plays differently. Simple to learn, hard to master. If you know how chess pieces move, you know enough to start. The strategy comes from combining powers and outsmarting increasingly dangerous enemy formations. No timers. No ads. No internet required. Just you, the board, and the next move. How many levels can you clear?
