Description from Steam STEAM

WizardChess is Deckbuilding Chess from a preposterous fantasy realm, invented by mysterious wizards. Multiple game modes challenge players to think on their feet and balance tactics with speed: hit the Arcade for quick, replayable runs or explore the world in Story mode. Whether you're an amateur or an expert WizardChess has something for Grandma's and Grand Masters alike. Manoeuvre specialized units (of 50+ unique classes) in emergent, often unhinged, turn-based combat and use unique skills to defeat enemy units. Much like chess, small errors can (and often will) lead to harsh consequences. Unlike chess, your pieces are enchanted and have ATK, DEF and SKL stats... and your opponent(s) are the Fae. Recruit, upgrade, sacrifice, trade and gamble your units away to create the most powerful build you can. Learn the systems, unlock the full pool of units and take calculated risks and maybe you’ll defeat the Fae Queen herself. WizardChess is entirely procedurally generated. Every run, every room, every tile, every item, and every unit is determined by a combination of luck and a dynamic response to your playstyle. Each biome features unique rooms, enemies and a boss with its own opponent 'style' and scaling difficulty. TwoPM consists of Ben Follington and Ricky James, both based in Queensland, Australia. We've been best friends for about 15 years and have been making games for almost as long.

Description from IGDB IGDB

WizardChess is Deckbuilding Chess. The roguelike gameplay includes procedurally generated maps, randomized encounters, individual unit modifiers and permadeath. It is designed to challenge the player strategically through short runs (20-30 minutes) with gameplay that is simply to pick up, but near impossible to master!

Storyline IGDB

Say hello to "The Bard". This is you! An egomaniacal adventurer determined to leave their mark on history. Somehow(TM) The Bard has been invited to the annual WizardChess tournament, a contrived battle of magic and tactics hosted by the Fae, for the Fae. The Fae have watched over this world since time eternal, gently steering destiny along its tracks. To be honest though, there's not that much to do. Nothing of any Fae-level importance has happened in hundreds of years... Until now. Step into the shoes of The Bard, master WizardChess and scribble your name into every history book. Your prize for competing in their tournament? A boon from the FaeQueen herself. The Song of The Fae is yet to be written.
