About This Game

Fool’s Road is a chill, turn-based roguelike strategy game inspired by chess. Instead of playing identical pieces, you build and lead a living medieval army.

Become a Commander of your own class and shape your army around your fantasy. Recruit and train unique units as you progress, facing tactical challenges along the way. Every run is a new campaign, and every decision matters.

This isn’t about memorizing openings or perfect moves, it’s about building an army that reflects your playstyle and adapting to what the road throws at you.

  

Key Features

  • Chess Inspired Tactical Combat
    Familiar grid-based battles with custom units, abilities, and bosses that break traditional chess rules.

  • Roguelike Army Building
    Instead of random power-ups, grow your strength by recruiting and training troops throughout each run.

  • Class Based Playstyles
    Choose your role and live your class fantasy, build armies focused on brute force, strategy, control, or balance.

  • Challange Encounters
    Face encounters that test your army composition and tactical planning.

  • Chill, Thoughtful Gameplay
    Turn based pacing with no time pressure, plan your moves, experiment, and enjoy the journey.
