About Gigachess
Gigachess is a single-player puzzle board hero defense game that turns chess into a tactical rush. You assemble a party of Knights, Rooks and Bishops to defend the board’s bottom from waves of enemy Pawns advancing downward. Enemy formations can be difficult to break, and the Pawn onslaught tests how long you can survive.
Game modes
- Endless mode: face randomly generated waves, with a choice of four difficulty levels. It includes autosaves, Hyper states and Mutators.
- Puzzle Attack mode: clear 48 logic-based stages, with an Easy Mode option.
- Knight’s Dungeon mode: solve 40 knight’s tour-inspired puzzles. It includes a Level Editor and Steam Workshop support.
Tactics and progression
Strategic power-ups can block advancing Pawns, plant explosive traps and provide other effects. Playable tutorials introduce the game’s mechanics, while tooltips offer information on demand. Competitive leaderboards rank your best games against players around the world, and the game includes achievements and trading cards.
