WizardChess

What if chess was invented by silly cosmic wizards? WizardChess is a turnbased roguelite where all the pieces have insane abilities that came to us in a shamanic vision. Fight chaotic-yet-tactical encounters with magic powers out of a fever dream! Defeat the FaeQueen and Claim Your Wish!

Welcome to WizardChess 0.9.7! We've been in the dungeon, crossing our I's and dotting our T's (and then realising our mistakes). We have increased the RRP of WizardChess to $15 USD. This will be the full US release price but if you feel subject to unfair price localisation, please reach out and let us know. Stay tuned for a 1.0 release date announcement!
