The Ouroboros King

About This Game

The Ouroboros King combines the tactical depth of chess with the build variety and replayability of roguelikes. Build a formidable army, discover powerful relics, and buy surprising gadgets to defeat the Covenant.

Core Gameplay

• Build the Ultimate Army: Combine classic and new chess pieces, relics that give them bonuses, and consumable items that grant you temporary advantages to create a formidable army.
• Perfect Your Strategy: You can only move one piece per turn, so you must choose carefully. Make your troops work together to obliterate the enemy army.
• Another Chance: If you’re defeated you can go back to action on another timeline, where the path to victory will change: different map, different enemies, different rewards…

Other Features

• Lots of end-game options to dial up the difficulty to insane levels.
• Chess-based tactics, easy to learn and hard to master.
• 15-45 minute runs, good for a short break and also longer sessions.
• No gatekeeping, all the content is unlocked from the start. Win or die based on your skills.
• No need to learn any chess openings or study anything.
