About This Game

Apochess is a progressive Chess MMO where traditional strategy meets deep RPG mechanics. Watch your chess pieces battle automatically using custom stats, powerful equipment, deep progression trees, and more than 80 unique skills.

Featuring a major balance system that makes attacking pieces strike 4x faster, Apochess captures the true spirit of traditional chess—where initiative, aggression, and tactical positioning dictate the flow of battle.

Key Features

  • Automated Chess Battles: Build your ideal army composition and watch your customized pieces clash in animated auto-battles.

  • Deep RPG Progression: Level up your account and individual pieces, unlock game-changing skills, and optimize your strategy.

  • PvE & PvP Modes: Test your builds against intelligent BOTs or climb the ranks against other players in intense PvP matchmaking.

  • Loot & Equipment: Collect, upgrade, and equip gear to min-max your pieces' stats and gain the upper hand.

  • Player-Driven Economy: Trade equipment, items, and currency with other players in a completely tax-free Marketplace.

  • Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Quests: Stay engaged with a steady stream of challenges that reward your dedication with valuable Credits.

  • Cross-Device Play: Play your way. Move seamlessly between desktop, mobile, and browser using Steam authentication or linked external credentials.

Built For Long-Term Growth

The full release of Apochess features fresh new dedicated server opening.

  • One-Time Purchase: Buy the game once and get full, unrestricted access to all future content updates.

  • Purple equipment set for the early-to-mid game progress (valued $90).

  • Pack which provide 100 credits daily (valued $30).

  • Premium feature (valued $10).

Each week newly joined players start like in a new server. If you are strong enough, you can climb up into the older server, getting the missed rewards of a full week from starting late. You battle and get ranked only against same-week starting players and all newer server players.

No other purchases possible in this MMO. Everyone get the same pack at the beginning.
