#TurnBasedThursday? Again!?
Take a gander at Heist Mode in Pieces of the Kingdom, a Chesslike roguelite I've been working on. Did you play Chess and think it needed better factions and a more memorable story mode? Yeah, me too.

I've iced the cake, and the tree's all put up;
It's time to find out who's moving the Bishop.
...that's all I've got for Christmas lyrics today, sadly. But here's a sneak peek at a couple of the factions (with intros!) in Pieces of the Kingdom, my #indiedev chesslike roguelite!

The last faction in my #roguelite chesslike, Pieces of the Kingdom, is finally ready to go just in time for #turnbasedthursday. They're "viking"-inspired, and they don't play chess: they play #Hnefatafl! If you like #Chess but wish it had a snarkier campaign mode, check it out: birdworks.io/l/potk

big recommend for ppl who enjoy learning obtuse games

SC6 also leans heavy on Tekken-ish juggle strings, which takes the chesslike “win in six strikes” area control mindgame dance of prior entries and turns it into a mess where you aim to score a lethal hit - a slowdown counterhit a la Strive’s COUNTER - and follow it up with fourteen hits and a super.
