Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate coming to Switch
Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate previously released on Steam last year, but it’s now been announced that a console version is on the way with Switch getting the game next month. A release is scheduled for August 24, 2023.
Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate is a turn-based roguelike chess inspired game. The console version includes new visual flourishes, along with revised interfaces and a brand-new tutorial.
Here’s an overview of the game:
Chess, but all your army has gone over to the white side, leaving you with nothing but your royal shotgun and your wounded pride. Carried by your dark folly, you decide it’s time to teach those white pieces to fear the Shotgun King.
Every turn, you may either move your king or shoot at enemy pieces, after what you’ll need to move again to reload your shotgun. Avoid checkmate and kill the enemy king to complete the floor. After each floor, you may choose between two random combinations of one upgrade for you and one upgrade for the other side. Choose wisely and keep on winning floors and you just may get your kingdom back.
