About This Demo

About This Demo

Apochess is a progressive Chess MMO where chess pieces battle automatically using RPG-style stats, equipment, progression, and more than 80 unique skills.

A major balance system makes attacking pieces strike 4x faster, creating gameplay that more closely resembles traditional chess where initiative and aggression matter.

WHAT THIS DEMO IS

This is not a cut-down trial. The Demo runs the complete Apochess MMO — the same

server, the same systems, the same content as the full game:

• Animated automatic chess battles

• Character and account progression

• PvE BOT and PvP battles

• Equipment and item collection

• Marketplace trading between players

• Daily, weekly and monthly quests

• Credit and Karma progression

• Steam account synchronization with the web version

• Cross-device play on desktop, mobile, and browser

Nothing is time-limited, level-capped, or content-locked. There are no server

resets — your account, items, Credits and Karma are permanent.

THE ONE DIFFERENCE

The Demo has in-game purchases disabled. Everything obtainable in Apochess is

earned through play.

Credits are earned by:

• Completing quests

• Selling items to NPCs

• Trading items with other players through the Marketplace

Credits can be freely traded between players through the Marketplace without taxes.

MONETIZATION

The Steam version of Apochess is designed without the ability to buy Credits from

the game owner. There is no energy timer, no loot box, and no paid advantage.

The full release will be a one-time purchase that includes future updates and

long-term progression. Everything you build during the Demo period carries forward.

STEAM AND WEB PLAY

Steam accounts can also be used on the Apochess web version.

Players may continue using the same account across different devices and screen sizes through Steam authentication, or by creating optional external login credentials linked to their Steam account.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Apochess is created and maintained by a single independent developer.

The game has been extensively playtested over thousands of gameplay hours across previous web platform versions, helping shape its balance and progression systems.
