From the Steam store

Tired of the slow, "one move at a time" pace of traditional board games? Hyper Chinese Chess seamlessly fuses classic Chinese Chess (Xiangqi) rules with the high-stakes thrill of RTS (Real-Time Strategy) and Roguelike squad-building! Here, time to think is a luxury. Only sharp instincts, decisive micro, and wild tactical builds will get you through the siege!

The Core Revolution: Real-Time Action Point System

We've completely abolished traditional turn-based limits and introduced a brand-new Action Point (AP) system:

Time is Your Resource: Action Points regenerate automatically over time (max 4 AP, 1 AP restored every 3 seconds by default).

Split-Second Decisions: Every move costs 1 AP. Both players strike simultaneously—meaning you can read your opponent’s trajectory and intercept their pieces mid-move!

Explosive Tactics: Will you play it safe and advance step-by-step? Or secretly hoard your AP to unleash a devastating, synchronized combo with your Chariot, Horse, and Cannon all in the blink of an eye? You control the tempo of the battlefield!

Game-Changing Features

All-New Roguelike Expeditions—Build Your Ultimate Formation: Start with a lone General and a handful of pieces as you embark on a high-octane expedition across three major acts! Recruit new pieces along the way, freely combine Seals, Engravings, and Tactics, and craft endlessly varied synergy builds. Spend the military funds earned after each run on permanent meta-upgrades to conquer increasingly brutal ascension difficulties!

East Meets West Crossover: Who says the Xiangqi board is only for Chinese Chess? Western Chess Bishops, Knights, Queens, and Pawns are crashing the battlefield! Tear open the flanks with Western Knights immune to traditional "leg-blocking" rules, slice through defenses diagonally with Bishops, or escort a Pawn all the way to the enemy backline to promote it into a powerhouse Queen!

Suspenseful Fog of War Mode: Our original Xiangqi "Fog of War" mode brings true RTS vision mind-games to the board—you can only see the area surrounding your own pieces. Watch your step! An enemy Chariot could come barreling out of the darkness at any second!

Rich Single-Player & Multiplayer Experiences

Creative Single-Player Stages:

Campaign Mode: Step-by-step levels tailored for newcomers. Even if you know nothing about traditional Chinese Chess rules, you’ll master real-time movement and combat mechanics with ease.

Challenge Mode: Dive into mind-bending special-rule scenarios—escort a designated soldier to safety in Lone Escort, pull off miraculous comebacks against overwhelming odds in Break the Formation, or take on thrilling asymmetrical Boss Battles!

Online Multiplayer & Crossover Duels: Enjoy low-latency online matchmaking and randomized endgame scenarios across multiple maps with unique mechanics. Whether you want an epic "East vs. West" clash of titans or a stealthy game of ambush in the Fog of War, grab your friends, settle the score, and see who the true Chess King really is!

Evolved Smart AI: Powered by a newly upgraded, formidable AI engine with finely tuned difficulty tiers, delivering an intense, rewarding sparring experience anytime, anywhere.
