Prismarch

Prismarch reworks chess with pieces that can use modular abilities. You fight through seven realms, challenge the kings who rule them, and gather crown shards to strengthen your pieces and advance the Main Story.

Chess with abilities

Each piece can have up to three abilities, and some abilities work differently depending on the piece type. For example, a Glacial Queen shoots in eight directions. Knights can explode, Rooks can gain an action surge at the end of their turn, and Kings can warp away from check or roll a death saving throw.

Capturing an enemy piece grants experience. Fill the EXP bar to gain a level reward, then choose from randomly selected rewards of various rarities to shift the balance of the fight in your favor.

The seven realms

Usurper kings have stolen the power of the elements. Fight the Kings of Grass, Water, Fire, Ice, Lightning, Sun and Moon; each has a distinct ability, environment, theme and playstyle.

Restore the world

Dethroning the false kings grants crown shards, slivers of their power that unlock roster upgrades. These upgrades permanently increase the power of your piece types and also progress the Main Story. Gather all the crown shards, embark on quests and talk with the realms' denizens and colorful characters, including in philosophical conversations, as you work to restore the world to its former glory.
