What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“FallChess: Wizard's Chess is being released in Early Access to allow the game to grow alongside its community. We want to gather player feedback, identify areas for improvement, and use the community's response to help guide the future development of the game.

If the game receives enough engagement, we would also like to explore expanding its scope with additional content, including the possibility of a campaign mode.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Approximately 1-2 year.”

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

“We plan to continue improving FallChess: Wizard's Chess based on player feedback and community engagement. This may include new gameplay improvements, additional content, balancing, quality-of-life features, and other additions that help expand the experience.

If there is enough community interest and engagement, we would also like to explore developing a multiplayer campaign mode that expands the world

The exact scope of the full version will depend on how the game develops during Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is a fully playable experience focused on the core concept of FallChess: Wizard's Chess.

Players can play chess matches using the game's first-person system, mount and control their pieces, capture opponents, and experience the game from different camera perspectives. The game supports single-player and multiplayer experiences, with configurable chess clocks and multiple gameplay options.

The core gameplay is functional, but we expect to continue improving the game through bug fixes, balancing, polish, optimization, and player feedback throughout Early Access.”

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

“We may gradually increase the price as new content and features are added during Early Access. Players who purchase the game earlier will have access to the version available at that time and will continue to receive future updates included with their purchase.”

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

“We plan to involve the community through player feedback, discussions, bug reports, and suggestions. Community feedback will help us identify issues, improve existing features, balance gameplay, and determine which areas of the game would benefit most from further development.

We will also use community response and engagement to help evaluate the scope and direction of future content, including potential larger additions such as a campaign mode.”

About This Game

FallChess: Wizard's Chess

Traditional chess. First-person duels. The piece doesn't move on its own — you do.

Inspired by the iconic wizard's chess duel, FallChess: Wizard's Chess brings chess into a fully 3D world. Choose your character, mount your piece, move across the board, and face your opponent up close.

The rules remain faithful to classic chess. Pawns, Knights, Bishops, Rooks, Queens, and Kings move just as you know them. The difference is that now, you are the one riding the piece.

FEATURES

♟️ Classic chess, a new perspective
Play with the familiar rules of chess, including castling, promotion, and draw by repetition, on a fully 3D board.

🧙 Choose your character
Play as Aiko, Hanna, Ravi, or Sabrina — each with their own color and visual identity on the board.

🐴 Mount, move, capture
Directly control the piece you're mounted on. Choose who rides each piece before the match begins — once the first move is made, those choices are locked in.

🌐 Multiplayer
Play PvP or PvE, locally or online, with up to 2 players per team or 4 players in co-op.

⏱️ Configurable clock
Choose the pace of your match, from Bullet to Classic.

🎥 Dynamic cameras
Switch between board view, free orbit, and third-person perspectives. If your character is eliminated, take control of a free-fly camera and keep watching the battle.

🌍 Multi-language
Localized interface with dedicated font support for Japanese, Korean, Russian, Chinese, Hindi, and Arabic.

ABOUT THE GAME

FallChess: Wizard's Chess was created to give chess a body — literally.

Instead of simply watching pieces move across a board, you step into the game. Choose your character, mount your piece, and experience every move from within the match. Every capture puts you face to face with your opponent.

Board strategy meets first-person action.

Chess like it's never been played before.

Created by a single developer, with countless hours of programming, testing, and late nights. Thank you for playing.
