FPS Chess

Ever imagined what would happen if you combined the strategic depth of chess with the fast paced action of a first person shooter? Well, FPS Chess does exactly that and it’s as wild and fun as it sounds. Developed by Meta Fork, this Windows game takes the traditional chessboard and turns it into an explosive battlefield where every piece packs a unique weapon or special ability.

You might be a grandmaster at classic chess, but here, your opening strategies and careful planning won’t be enough on their own. In FPS Chess, you’ve got to stay alert, think on your feet, and adapt to your opponent’s arsenal. Whether it’s a rook with a rocket launcher or a knight that can teleport, each piece brings something unexpected to the game. There are six completely unique toolkits full of special weapons and powers, and you can even design your own dream board with the custom editor.

Want to challenge a friend? How about a stranger online? FPS Chess lets you play in online matchmaking, over LAN, or even locally with split screen 1v1 battles. Jump into a lobby, invite a buddy, and get ready for some chaotic fun. And between moves, you can explore interactive duel rooms little playgrounds that keep the energy high even when you’re not capturing pieces.

One thing to keep in mind: FPS Chess started as a student project at DigiPen Institute of Technology. It was built for learning and experimentation so while it’s packed with creativity, it’s also a passion project with that indie game charm.
