In the studio's words

Chaos Chess is a new chess variant that turns every capture into a battle. Think twice before attacking and prepare for the consequences. Build your army, fight through four custom campaigns, and challenge players worldwide in a tactical RPG twist on classic chess.

You know chess. Every capture becomes a battle. Your knight may charge a pawn expecting an easy victory—and never return. Every decision carries weight. Strength matters, experience matters, and sometimes the battlefield has other plans. Chaos Chess takes the familiar rules of chess and builds an RPG strategy game around them, where every match leaves its mark on your army. Every Battle Forges Your Army Your pieces are more than disposable units. Survive battles, gain experience, and turn ordinary soldiers into veterans and heroes. Develop powerful traits, shape your army over time, and create a force with its own history of victories, defeats, and unlikely survivors.
