Check and Slash

Check and Slash combines real-time hack-and-slash combat with the movement patterns of chess pieces. You make your way through a procedurally generated maze of boards, slash enemies, dodge attacks and rescue black pieces to earn upgrades. Your goal is to face formidable opponents and find the enemy king.

Combat and progression

Combat is real-time rather than turn-based, combining chess rules with action-game mechanics. Each enemy you kill makes your attack stronger, and you gain skills and upgrades for the main character as you progress. Randomly presented options let you choose a build.

The maze

The maze has 43 rooms to unlock, each with different combinations of enemies, and contains six unique bosses. Its paths are randomly generated.
