What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We’re excited to connect with players and hear your feedback to help shape the game during Early Access. Alongside bringing the essence of the Chessplus board game to life digitally, there’s room to add polish, new features and modes to make it even better — and we’d love for you to be part of that journey.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We might remain in Early Access for around 6 months, but that will change depending on how the game develops with player feedback.”

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

“We plan for for the Full Version to have updated art, more online metagame features (ELO ranking etc) and the Roguelike Adventure mode completed with your suggestions and feedback gathered during Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We plan to launch the Early Access version with Singleplayer vs AI and Multiplayer and the first iteration of the Roguelike Adventure mode. We plan to expand the Roguelike Adventure mode over time with your feedback!”

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

“We might increase the price during Early Access period as additional content and features are added.”

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

“We love getting the community involved during development and are active on the Steam forums. Our small team would love to hear your suggestions, bug reports and feedback on the Steam forums to make Chessplus the best game possible.”

About This Game

PLAYTEST Available Q1 - 2026

It's Not Chess. It's Better!

PLUG & PLAY. Nothing new to learn...just fun new moves & easier gameplay.

Modes of play:

Online Multiplayer  - Single Device Multiplayer - Battle the A.I. - Variant Options - Roguelike / Deckbuilder.

NEW Strategies. MORE Possibilities.

  • Combine Powers: Move two pieces onto the same square using traditional chess moves to create powerful hybrids such as the "BIOOK", Bishop + Rook, and move as either of the combined pieces.

  • Split Anytime: Either piece of a joined piece can move away as an individual piece in it’s traditional movement.

  • Risk & Reward: Watch out! If your new hybrid piece, like a Queen + Knight, "QUIGHT", gets taken you'll lose both your pieces.

FASTER Promotions, MORE Often.

  • Build your forces: Get more queens with quick promotions. Combine the Rook with a Pawn then fast track it across the board for an extra queen.

  • Stage huge comebacks: Utilising quick promotions to tip the balance of power back in your favour.

  • Balanced at its core: Chessplus removes reliance on memorised plays. You must rely on sheer creativity to try and checkmate your opponent with adaptive, improvised gameplay.

ROGUELIKE - Deckbuilder

  • Master Variants: Battle progressively harder AI in different variants such as Fog of War and King of the Hill before taking on a Grandmaster boss battle. 

  • Choices Matter: Every run is different. Every piece you sacrifice, card you add to your deck or mini-game you win will dramatically change the outcome of your run.

  • Battle your friends: Play against your friends in custom variants such as King of the Hill with the Roguelike ability cards enabled for drafting.
