This game is pretty fun, for the price I got it for it was very good, whenever I have a bit of free time I go to this game, bloons, and risk of rain 2. Very good strategy game and would reccommend to anyone if you want a fun and brain-needing time waster.

Quite a crazy rougelike. When you take the traditional mechanics of chess, and throw in an entire melting pot of other pieces and abilities, it can get pretty crazy. I admit I wasn't very good at predicting the computer's moves. Variables can change and grow exponentially, but luckily there are plenty of QoL mechanics that help you take back turns, reroll, etc. I believe the game's really well done, though maybe a bit to ambitious as some of the pieces don't really synergize and the computer opponent will occasionally make poor move decisions. It's still a very nice approach to the genre. Anyone that understands chess and enjoys rougelikes will definitely have fun with this game.

If you like Chess you will definitely like this. Some of the names of the extra pieces in this are made up for this game, like war wagon, but many of these piece types exist in official chess variants that I have played. The War Wagon is a promoted Shogi rook for example. But many of these are completely unique to this game. I got a little bit addicted to this game because I play chess every day already and this is my style.

You might have thought it was shotgun king, you might have thought it was 4d chess, you might even have thought it was pawnbarian of all things, but no. Ouroboros King is chess 2. That being said, if you are expecting a fun roguelike, you will be disappointed. There might as well be no story, playtime for a run is very short, and there aren't really any bonuses carried from run to run. HOWEVER. You could say all those things about chess. Only play this game if you like chess. You may have noticed that i refunded the game, here's why: i can't play chess. If you are a chess player this game will be one of the best games you will have ever played. if you are not good at chess, you will not be good at Ouroboros King.
