An adventure game with chess-themed deckbuilding battles.
In this world, magic is kind of boring. And that's okay.
On wizard island, wizard students play games instead of studying. One of these games involve opening a small portal to the Chess Dimension, where Checkmage! is played.
Explore the island! Find secrets, trade cards, and get to know unique characters.
Featuring:
An ensemble cast of characters with unique personalities, strategies, and expressive dialogue. You can rematch them at later points in the game and see their strategies and loadouts improve.
100+ unique pieces, tiles, and spells to collect and experiment with. Mixing and matching different cards in your deck provides endlessly creative ways to play with surprisingly deep and emergent interactions.
6 detailed, hand-crafted locations to explore. Characters you'll meet in one location show up in other places and change their dialog as you progress.
A black wind blows through your body... Enter a creepy dungeon for an optional gauntlet mode where you fight randomly generated opponents.
The OST will be available on Steam and Bandcamp soon!
Checkmage! is an indie game. I poured a lot of love into it. no LLMs or generative images were used at any point in production of this game.
