Chess Crusade

MEET CHESS CRUSADE It’s the game that’s easier than chess and harder than chess at the same time. It’s chess for the curious, and it’s a new challenge for the deck-builders. Wield powerful new character pieces like Nightrider, Archbishop, and Angel to attack or protect the king in stunningly colorful worlds.

Checkmate is just the beginning. Even when one game ends, your strategy continues. Refine your deck, experiment with your opening line-up, plot your next character upgrade, redeem your rewards, and win your way to the nearly unstoppable Angel. The more you play, the more powerful you become.

GAMEPLAY Gameplay starts with a few pieces; choose wisely or you won’t have long to live. With each turn you survive, earn more Material and spawn a strategic new piece from your battle complement. But watch out, the game can change in a single turn—who will your opponent spawn? If they’re saving their gold, you could get slapped with the Angel, and she’s anything but angelic.

DECK-BUILDING Between games, build up your deck. Your deck has four card slots for Chess Crusade pieces—upgrade pawns to Rangers, sanctify your Archbishop, or run the brutal Rook Rush play.

WARRIORS AND ROYALTY Chess Crusade springs from traditional chess—you’ll find the bishop, rook, knight, pawns and queen protecting the king. But in Chess Crusade, everyone in the kingdom has counterparts who are biggerbetterfaster.
Ranger—Every pawn wishes he were a Ranger: the awesome hat, the damsels, and the freedom to move back and forth.
Priest—The Priest sidles in the shadows, following in the bishop’s footsteps for a lower ante.
Tower—He’s a rook in training. What he lacks in reach, he makes up for with his willing spirit.
Princess—She’s delicate and beautiful, but she’ll send you straight to the gallows if you attack the throne.
Nightrider—He’s in the king’s special forces, brave like a knight with sneak-attack range.
Crusader—The Crusader is a battle machine. He’s all knight and all rook, balancing long-range straightlines with a hooked-L surprise.
Archbishop—The Archbishop is holier and more corrupt, with a staggering 20-position reach.
Angel—She’s terrifying.
