Dungeon Chess
is a turn-based strategy game with roguelike elements where the setting simulates a chessboard.

How To Play:

Use mouse to navigate.

Select your cards and place them on the board.

Press the “Start Game!” button to begin.

Enemies will appear in waves, so be ready to fight!

When it is your turn, your units will be highlighted. 

Select a unit to see its movement range, then choose where you want it to move.


Red indicates where you can attack, other slots are for moving. If your moving slot has a red icon inside it means you can do both. 

Enemies and allies can block your movement.

After you finish moving your units, the enemy’s turn will begin automatically. 

You can also end your turn early by clicking the “End Turn” button.

Every movement requires energy points.

Some skills can request more than one point to be used.

You can check your character energy by selecting it and checking the energy UI on the bottom left corner.


Every character is unique and has different skills.

Select the same character a second time to open the skill menu. 

There, you can read what each attack does and switch between attacks when other options are available.

Defeat enemies to earn coins and strengthen your team.


Click the “Buy Card” button to purchase new cards if you have enought coins.

 A random selection of cards will appear for you to choose from.


Your cards are stored in the inventory at the bottom of the screen. You begin with a limited number of card slots, and every card has a different effect—so choose carefully!

In the current version, the game ends when you defeat the Ogre boss, who appears after approximately 10–15 waves.
