Reviewer’s note: It should take at least 2 hours to complete the game’s story and beating the final boss. There is much more content to experience and unlock that could take around 10 hours to play through.
Every turn, you may either move your king or shoot at enemy pieces, after what you'll need to move again to reload your shotgun. Avoid checkmate and kill the enemy king to complete the floor. After each floor, you may choose between two random combinations of one upgrade for you and one upgrade for the other side. Choose wisely and keep on winning floors and you just may get your kingdom back.
