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.

  • Maximized Credit Earnings: Full access to Weekly and Monthly quest rewards to supercharge your account growth.

  • No Pay-To-Win: Credits cannot be purchased directly from the developer. Growth, wealth, and power are earned entirely through gameplay, trading, and strategy.
