Does he make you some chess games in Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate? I warn you that they are a bit different…
Since time immemorial, chess has had many variants. Fischer’s random chess, the Patt-snatch variant, transcendental or retiree chess, etc. But thanks to the study TOP Delicious, We have a new, much more direct and faster modality: shotgun chess. Yes friends, this noble board game is updated in a very forceful way in Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate. And although a priori it may seem like a huge stupidity, I assure you that it has a complexity that will make us be in front of the screen for hours.
Checkmate with headshot
Our kingdom of black pieces has succumbed to the advance of the white pieces. The bad decisions of our ranks on the board have meant that only we, the black king himself, are left standing. But that does not mean the end of our sovereignty, since we have one last weapon: the real shotgun. If the traditional movements are not enough to stop the enemy, Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate invites us to execute other more… contemporary attacks. So get ready for a forceful checkmate.
Destroy the white king. That will be the objective that the game will mark us at all times. To do this, we will have to go through a series of phases until we reach the final confrontation. Being a lost piece in a sea of squares, we will have the special help of our real shotgun. As a black king, we will be able to move through each square in the turn that corresponds to us, although later we will be able to execute a powerful shot that will take away pawns, bishops, rooks and everything in its path.
shoot with head
Each level (or each phase) will go with pre-established turns. To get to the rival king, we will burst with lead all that piece that poses a threat to us. Of course, we will have to be especially careful to see which piece we destroy, since if we kill a pawn, and right behind it is a rook in its line of movement, we will be irretrievably killed. At first it will seem that we are indestructible with our attack power, although little by little we will see that everything gets complicated. First, because as we progress there will be more enemies on the screen. And second, because there will be a series of conditions that will complicate the game a lot.
One of lime and one of sand
Pros and cons. What makes each Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate board special are the alterations that we will undergo when we finish a phase. Before starting the next round, we will have to choose a positive and negative factor that will remain active throughout the game. And here is the grace of the game. We can choose an option to have greater attack power, but if that penalizes us by adding 6 pawns and a bishop to the enemy ranks… maybe it doesn’t compensate us that much. And if we choose to be able to jump over the rival pieces? Well, if that implies that the opposing queens are indestructible, maybe it doesn’t compensate…
There are a multitude of options and conditions, and all of them significantly affect the game. We will be able to count on magic wands that do damage to the opponent, fragmentation grenades, new types of shotguns, a useful sword for hand-to-hand combat… On the other hand, the enemy will have ghost horses that will only suffer damage when it is their turn to move , bishops that become kings, and other crazy series that make this game a perfect procedural title to play a game from time to time.
Perfect your technique the way you want
No longer only this factor of pros and cons will be the only strategic factor to take into account. We have an innate ability, which will consist of absorbing the soul of the first piece we kill. This allows us to be able to move like that specific piece when we want, which will allow us to better manage attacks and, above all, defenses if we feel very cornered.
Don’t be scared if you are not very good at chess. Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate is rigorous, but it raises its hand so that we feel completely unprotected. In each turn, we will have two warnings that will indicate that the movement we are going to make would be certain death. This help with the progress of the game itself is disappearing, but it is very important at the beginning of the game so as not to feel frustrated until we completely get the hang of the game mechanics.
In addition, for the most expert in the field, apart from having the story mode, there will be another series of modalities that extend the useful life of the game much more. On the one hand, in the infinite way We will have to endure as many rounds as possible. And on the other hand, in the chase mode, You will have to escape from a series of the most dangerous situations.
Kasparov’s idyllic game
Visually we are facing a title that drinks directly from the retro and pixelated essence. In fact, we can even include a CRT filter that emulates both retro screens and those electronic devices where we could play chess. And it is that no more is needed. While in other games I miss more decoration and elements on the screenIn this specific case, “solemnity” suits you very well that we find at all times. Everything so that we can concentrate on the important thing about this board game: checkmate based on lead.
Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate Conclusion
PUNCAKE Delicious offers us a very fun experience based on this classic chess game. We will embody the black king, who with the help of our real shotgun, we will have to liquidate the white king in a series of levels. Described like this it seems like a huge nonsense, but as one plays, and sees the strategic possibilities of each round, everything becomes more profound. This is due to the pros and cons that we will have at the end of each level, which will give a different look to each game. Some variations that make each attempt unique, with a procedural style that feels great and that I have rarely seen so well executed. I am warning you, although each game lasts about 20 minutes, you will be hooked on Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate for hours and hours.
