Über diese 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.

This Demo provides access to the core Apochess MMO experience, including:

• Animated automatic chess battles.

• Marketplace trading between players.
• Daily quests.
• Credit and Karma progression.
• Steam account synchronization with the web version.

DEMO RULES
