About This Game

Collect cards, build decks, and battle fierce opponents in Top Check, a roguelike deckbuilder and card game inspired by the classic game of chess. Demonstrate your deck building prowess in the Roguelike Run game mode, or clash with a CPU opponent using your favorite constructed deck. With many unique pieces and abilities, only the best strategists will emerge victorious. Do you have what it takes to reach the top?

Top Check distinguishes itself from other chess-inspired roguelikes in the following ways:

• The game takes deckbuilding literally.  Pieces have card forms and you build a deck using those cards.

• You're not just playing with pieces; use action cards to devise creative synergies.

• Make a mistake?  Use the undo ability to turn back time and recover gracefully.

• There's always a chance!  Start each stage at full power and choose a new randomized modifier.

• The King is in the house; checkmate your opponent to claim victory!

• Or enable Conquest Mode to win by capturing all your opponent's other pieces.

Will you devise a strategy around copying important pieces?  Or perhaps dominate the board using synergy between pieces of the same type.  Whatever you choose, the possibilities are sure to captivate your inner strategist.

Top Check has plenty of features to keep you coming back for more, including:

• Rich tactical combat

• 120 cards with tons of original pieces and unique abilities

• A dedicated roguelike game mode with 10 ascension levels

• 30 unique items and over 20 challenge modifiers

• A 1v1 CPU Versus game mode

• Background, board, and piece color options so you can choose your own aesthetic
