Prismarch

From the Steam store

Prismarch is like regular chess, if your Knights could explode. Or your Rooks gained an action surge at the end of their turn. Maybe you've wished your King could warp away from check (or roll a death saving throw). In this game, it can!

Abilities are modular, and any piece can have up to 3 at a time. Many abilities are affected by the piece type - a Glacial Queen will shoot in 8 different directions, for example.

When you capture enemy pieces, you'll gain experience. Fill up the EXP bar and gain a level reward! Choose from randomly selected rewards of various rarities in order to tilt the balance of the fight in your favor.

In the 7 realms reside usurper kings who have stolen the power of the elements. Fight the Kings of Grass, Water, Fire, Ice, Lightning, Sun, and Moon - each has a unique ability, environment, theme, and playstyle.

Dethroning the false kings will grant you crown shards, slivers of their power that can be used to unlock roster upgrades - metaprogression that permanently increases the power of your piece types, in addition to progressing the Main Story.

As you carry out your duty, you'll restore the world to its former glory. Gather all the crown shards, embark on quests, and have philosophical conversations with various denizens and colorful characters on your path to greatness!
