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?

“Chess Kingdoms is ready to play. The Academy, AI opponents, tournaments, multiplayer, and progression system are all fully functional. I'm launching in Early Access because I'm a solo developer, and no matter how much you test alone, real players find things you never will. There will be bugs. I'd rather be upfront about that than pretend otherwise. What I can promise is that I'll be active, I'll fix things fast, and I'll use this period to add the features and content that matter most to the community. If the demand is there, I want to keep going and make this the most complete chess experience on Steam. How far this goes depends on you.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“It depends on the demand, at least about a month to improve and streamline. However I want time to add more countries, expand the content, and respond to community feedback before calling it finished. Overall I'm expecting between 2 and 6 months.

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

“The Early Access version already includes all six training campaigns, ten AI opponents, tournaments, elimination mode, async multiplayer, daily puzzles, and game analysis. The full version will have less bugs, and improved UI and and UX, and overall more features, and more content. I'm also open to add more community requests.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is fully playable from start to finish. All six training campaigns are complete with 133 scenarios. All ten AI opponents are functional with distinct playstyles. Tournaments, elimination mode, async multiplayer via Steam, daily puzzles, puzzle rush, and Stockfish-powered game analysis are all working. The progression system with 100 player levels, XP, titles, and cosmetic unlocks is active. The country skins system is live for all 33 nations.

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

“I plan to gradually raise the price as I ship new content and features. If you buy in Early Access, you lock in the lower price and get everything that comes after as a free update. I think that's the right way to reward the people who support the game early.

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

“I'll be active in the Steam community hub, reading what players want and what isn't working. That feedback directly steers what I work on next.”

About This Game

Most chess apps teach you the basics and leave you hanging. Most chess games are fun but won't make you better. Chess Kingdom does both. Whether you've never touched a chess board or you're looking for your next real challenge, this is where you grow.

START ANYWHERE. KEEP IMPROVING.

Six structured training academies take you from absolute beginner to advanced player, each one focused on a specific part of the game. Piece movement. Tactics. Openings. Middlegame strategy. Endgames. Deep calculation. 133 hand-crafted puzzles, carefully ordered so every concept builds on the last. No guessing what to study next. No jumping in the deep end. Just clear, satisfying progress with star ratings, XP, and titles to show for it.

THEN COMES THE REAL TEST

Training only takes you so far. Chess Kingdoms gives you every reason to keep playing.

◆ 10 AI opponents, each with a distinct personality and playstyle. Start easy. Work your way up to Titan.

◆ Tournaments. Single Elimination, Round Robin, Swiss. Climb a bracket. Prove your ranking.

◆ Elimination Mode. Win or go home. One loss ends your run. How far can you get?

◆ Async Online Multiplayer. Challenge friends via Steam and make your move whenever you're ready. No need to be online at the same time.

◆ Daily Puzzles and Puzzle Rush. Stay sharp every day.

◆ Game Analysis. See exactly where you won or lost the game, move by move.

MAKE IT YOURS

Choose your country from 33 nations, each with a fully unique board and piece set inspired by that country's culture and art. Indian Mughal pieces. Japanese Shogi-influenced designs. Dutch Delft-style boards. Your flag in your profile. Your style on the board. Unlock more as you level up through 100 player levels, piece sets, board themes, backgrounds, and titles earned through real progress.

BUILT TO GROW WITH YOU

Chess Kingdoms is built by a solo developer using AI-assisted development, which means faster updates, more content, and the ability to act quickly on what the community asks for. New country skins, training content, and features are added regularly. Your feedback directly shapes what comes next.

ONE GAME. EVERY LEVEL.

Chess Kingdoms grows with you. The beginner finishing their first puzzle and the player grinding tournament rankings are playing the same game, just a different chapter of it. The board is set. How far will you go?
