WizardChess: A Roguelite Chess Adventure Unveiled (Gameplay)

Hello friends. This is a Let’s Play video of “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!

WizardChess reimagines the classic game through the whimsical lens of cosmic wizards, transforming each piece into a unique entity with extraordinary abilities. This turn-based roguelite challenges players to navigate procedurally generated biomes, each teeming with distinct rooms, enemies, and formidable bosses whose strategies evolve dynamically. With over 50 specialized unit classes, every decision carries weight, as even minor missteps can lead to significant consequences. The game’s deckbuilding mechanics add depth, allowing for the recruitment, upgrading, and strategic sacrifice of units to craft a powerful team capable of confronting the enigmatic Fae Queen.
