Check and Slash

Are you ready to slash your way through chess-inspired challenges?

Check and Slash is an action-packed roguelite where chess meets fast-paced combat. You play as the Black King, wielding a sword to fight your way through waves of White enemies in a single epic level, all while seeking to free your army from the enemy’s grasp.
Welcome to the world of Check and Slash!
In this chess-inspired battlefield, you’ll slash through White enemy pieces, using your strategic mind and swift combat skills. With every enemy you defeat, you move closer to reclaiming your throne. But beware—the challenge grows with each encounter, and only the strongest will survive. Can you conquer the board, defeat the final boss, and free the Black pieces?

• 1 handcrafted level with increasing difficulty.
• A variety of obstacles to solve and overcome.
• Chess pieces to rescue scattered throughout the mazes.
• Charming chess-inspired mechanics that are easy to learn but hard to master.
