🥁 Let's follow the rhythm and have fun playing chess together! ♟️

A brand-new genre blending the thrills of rhythmic combat, the deep strategy of chess, and the tactical depth of turn-based wargames.

In Rhythm Chess: Black & White Endgame, you take on the role of a chessmaster, stepping into a mythic chessboard world where rules and fate have been rewritten. Move your pieces to the beat of the drums, uncover the conspiracy behind a thousand years of reincarnation, and rewrite the fate of every piece trapped by destiny.
