Your pieces
are your towers.

Chess meets tower defense.

Deploy rooks, bishops and knights that auto-attack by real chess movement. Earn points, level them up, fire their specials, and hold the line against waves marching on your King.

Live gameplay · iPhone & iPad

The roster

Every piece fights the way it moves.

Six pieces, each a distinct tower with its own reach, leveling curve and chargeable special ability. Position is everything: a rook rakes a whole file, a bishop owns the diagonals.

01

Pawn

Cheap front-line picket. Its forward reach stretches as it levels.

02

Knight

Leaps the L to strike targets nothing else can reach. Burst damage.

03

Bishop

Sweeps the diagonals with fast, repeated fire. Frost Ray freezes a lane.

04

Rook

The heavy hitter. Rakes entire ranks and files. Barrage hits every direction.

05

Queen

Commands all eight lines at once. Premium cost, devastating reach.

06

King

Your base. Place it, move it, level it. It fights too. Lose it and it's over.

How it plays

Three decisions, every wave.

Step 01

Place your King

It's both your base and the enemy's target. Move it any time to reshape the battlefield.

Step 02

Deploy your pieces

Spend deployment points on chess pieces. Each auto-attacks along its real movement lines.

Step 03

Survive the waves

Earn points, level pieces mid-fight, and unleash specials as enemies close on the King.

In the box

Depth that rewards a chess brain.
