Twin Stick Checkers

Twin Stick Checkers turns an 8x8 checkers board into a real-time combat duel. You control pieces that act as turrets, using bullets, shields and tactical actions as two opposing armies try to capture each other’s pieces. Winning depends on positioning, planning and timing as well as captures.

Piece combat

Each piece has health, ammo, a shooting direction and a position on the board. Pieces can fire in any direction, activate shields against incoming attacks and use action meters for offensive and defensive maneuvers. Bullets can ricochet off the board walls, creating crossfire, and friendly fire can threaten your own pieces.

Game modes

You can play solo against AI opponents, including increasingly difficult challenges, or face a friend in local couch co-op. Online matches use Steam Remote Play Together, so friends can play together with only one copy of the game.
