Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I plan to work on this game for a long time but I also want to release *something* that I can call a finished product - this will be the Early Access phase. From there I'll just keep improving until it's the most perfect game it can be and that will be the full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“As long as it can be improved upon.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The game's battle system lends itself well to many different kinds of modes - I plan for the full release to make each mode the best it can be.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The focus is on Async Multiplayer PvP and real-time multiplayer PvP.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The full release may be priced higher than the Early Access - depends on the amount of content I can deliver.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Much of what the game is right now is a result of player feedback. The direction of the gameplay as well as which modes are to be implemented is mostly up to players to decide.”

About This Game

What if the game of chess was set in a fantasy world where pieces have health, damage, armor and all kinds of magical abilities?

You get Chessire - a roguelike turn-based tactics auto battler!


How should you build your army? There is no right answer. The systems are yours to explore and the builds you can achieve are limited by your imagination alone.

You can:

  • Outnumber your enemy with a swarm of units

  • Rank up a single carry unit to dismantle an entire army

  • Summon lots of units in a battle to overwhelm the enemy

  • Poison or Burn the enemy to whittle them down with attrition

  • Disable the enemy from acting with Stuns, Maims and Disarms

  • Buff up your units damage to one-shot enemy units (...kind of like Chess then?)

  • Break the turn economy and take multiple actions per turn while your opponent watches you pop off

  • ...and probably more because I'm adding stuff to the game more frequently than I'm updating this description.


Currently the only playable mode is Arena, a asynchronous multiplayer PvP mode. You start with a lone King and build up your army across rounds to achieve 10 victories against other players.

The game will support more modes in the future, multiplayer lobbies, turn-based puzzle missions and a roguelike singleplayer campaign!
