“《霰弹国王：终局将死》是由PUNKCAKE Delicieux制作发行的基于国际象棋舞台的像素风格策略肉鸽游戏，玩家将控制手持霰弹枪的黑棋国王开始复仇之旅。玩法方面还是很好懂的，即使你没有玩过国际象棋的也可以轻松上手，不过由于霰弹枪的设定和肉鸽元素的加入，游玩起来依旧有很不错的策略挑战性。总的来说是十分不错的策略肉鸽游戏，提供了DEMO下载，感兴趣的不妨下载试试，觉得对胃口再入手。7.5/10”

Reviews

“The funny premise belies a supremely addictive turn-based roguelike, one of the best to come around in a while.”
PC Gamer

“Shotgun King [...] is the vastly improved version of the dated, low-violence game of Chess.”
Buried Treasure

“I am terrible at chess. [...] So, the fact that I can’t stop playing PUNKCAKE‘s fast-paced chess roguelike Shotgun King, truly says a lot.”
Turn Based Lovers

About This 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.

Runs may take ~20 minutes to complete. The game features 15 ranks of difficulty, unlockable cards, over 100 achievements to complete, an endless mode, and now a chase mode where you get continually assailed from all sides!
