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?

“We are releasing Twin Stick Checkers in Early Access so players can help shape the game while we continue development. The core gameplay is already fun and fully playable, but we want community feedback to refine balance, controls, progression systems, and future content. Early Access will allow us to improve the experience based on real player input while adding new features over time.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect Twin Stick Checkers to remain in Early Access for approximately 12 to 24 months. This timeline may change depending on community feedback and development progress, but our goal is to deliver regular updates throughout the Early Access period.”

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

“The full version is planned to include additional content and polish beyond the Early Access release, including:

- Online matchmaking and improved multiplayer features
- Achievements
- Additional game modes
- Improved AI and gameplay balancing
- UI/UX improvements
- Performance optimization and bug fixes”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version already includes the complete core gameplay experience. Players can currently enjoy:

- Single-player matches against AI opponents
- Local PvP multiplayer
- Online play through Steam Remote Play Together
- Functional menus and gameplay systems

The game is fully playable, but additional content, polish, and new systems are still in development.”

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

“Yes. We plan to offer a lower price during Early Access and increase the price when the full version launches as more content and features are added.”

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

“Community feedback will play an important role during development. We plan to listen closely to player suggestions, bug reports, and balance feedback through Steam discussions and other community channels. Our goal is to grow Twin Stick Checkers together with players and prioritize updates that improve the overall experience.”

About This Game

Checkers meets guns! Get ready for a fast-paced strategy-action duel!

Twin Stick Checkers completely flips the classic board game, turning it into chaotic, real-time combat. Now, every single piece is also a turret you control, opening up loads of tactical options for shooting, defending, and even sacrificing.

Go head-to-head against the AI if you're playing solo, challenge a friend in local couch co-op multiplayer, or jump online for battles using Steam Remote Play Together.

The core of the game remains familiar: an 8x8 board and two opposing armies aiming to capture pieces.

However, the battlefield has evolved. Now, every piece possesses enhanced capabilities:

  • Firepower: Pieces can shoot bullets in any direction.

  • Defense: They can activate shields to block incoming attacks.

  • Tactics: Action meters are available for both offensive and defensive maneuvers.

Success hinges on more than just captures; it demands strategic planning, superior positioning, and impeccable timing.

Each unit functions as a mini turret on the battlefield.

Unit capabilities include:

  • Health

  • Ammo

  • Shooting direction

  • Tactical positioning

Shots can ricochet off the board walls, leading to chaotic crossfire.

A crucial consideration: friendly fire is a real threat.

Twin Stick Checkers supports multiple ways to play:

  • Play Solo vs AI
    Practice strategies or challenge increasingly difficult opponents.

  • Local couch co-op multiplayer
    Face off against a friend on the same computer.

  • Online Multiplayer (Remote Play Together)
    Invite friends online and play together. Only one copy of the game is required!
