Chess game with roguelike elements
Passant: A Chess Roguelike is a premium strategy PC game developed by Marc Makes Games. It takes the traditional chess gameplay and introduces roguelike elements to create a unique experience that is both tactical and unpredictable. Newcomers can check out the demo version to get a preview of what the full release will be like.
A different kind of chess
Passant: A Chess Roguelike is a chess game featuring roguelike elements and more action-oriented gameplay. Take on challenging levels and collect unique chess pieces, including the dragon knight capable of removing multiple pieces of the board, the archbishop that can chain down adjacent enemies, and more. Beat each stage until you face the final boss and beat him to earn the title of Grandmaster.
What's more, you can use special items that bend traditional rules like freezing board pieces in place and demoting them to pawns. Choose from multiple game modes, or enter the challenge modes and see how many matches you can win. Now, if you enjoyed the demo and want more, you will have to wait a while longer since the game is not officially out yet, and there is no specific release date either.
Bend the rules of the game
Overall, Passant: A Chess Roguelike is a fun twist on traditional chess that both fans and newcomers will enjoy. It's familiar enough to make it easy to get into but has enough unique elements to keep things interesting. Hopefully, it will be released sooner rather than later. Keep this on your radar for when it does.
