About this game
Chess, but all your army has gone over to the white side, leaving you with nothing but your royal shotgun and your wounded pride. Carried by your dark folly, you decide it's time to teach those white pieces to fear the Shotgun King.
Every turn, you may either move your king or shoot at enemy pieces, after what you'll need to move again to reload your shotgun. Avoid checkmate and kill the enemy king to complete the floor. After each floor, you may choose between two random combinations of one upgrade for you and one upgrade for the other side. Choose wisely and keep on winning floors and you just may get your kingdom back.
Runs may take ~20 minutes to complete. The game features 15 ranks of difficulty, unlockable cards, over 100 achievements to complete, an endless mode, and now a chase mode where you get continually assailed from all sides!

The game is fun, but the game state is not saved when you change apps, so it is basically unplayable on mobile. The runs are not super long, but unless you have 15-20 min, you can't play the game. So you can't play it while pooping, you can't play it if you have children, etc. Very large oversight by the devs/porting team.

Excellent concept of Roguelike game. I used to play chess a lot and this game is an excellent and fun way to come back without the pressure of losing any ELO points. One thing I kinda don't like is the touch control when shooting is a bit off and sometimes not accurate. But luckily it has a full native support for plug and play controllers lile gamesir x3 pro. So I suggest to play this with a controller for a better experience, also I wish they improve the touch control.

Shotgun King is a solid game with simple mechanics that grow complex when stacked and allows for all sorts of strange builds. While certain things aren't explained in full, it's a roguelike, so you're expected to learn through runs One star down because it doesn't autosave after every complete level, and sometimes just restarts if you go to another app, which is kind of annoying when I'm playing at the bus stop, swap to my transit app, and come back to see my progress all gone.
