RogueMate

Pixel chess roguelike.

Line up your army, pick your gambits, topple five bosses.

RogueMate brings chess pieces into the rules of a roguelike. A run has 5 Stages of 5 Rounds, and a boss waits at the end of every Stage. The Piece Wheel picks your first army; then you line up your pieces in your zone and try to capture every enemy piece. The King is an ordinary piece: there's no check and no checkmate. Go too long without capturing and the squares crumble.

Features

A new army every run

The Piece Wheel picks your first pieces; the rest is up to you. After each round you buy pieces, gambits and tokens in the Shop.

A growing board

One more column every Stage: from 5×5 to 9×5.

48 gambits

Build your own style with powers that trigger on their own: they earn money, skip the enemy's turn, summon phantom pieces.

Bosses with rules

One hides its army, one scrambles its pieces, one bans your Bench or your Wait.

Classic or Route

The Shop after every round, or your own path on the map: battle, elite battle, shop, event, campfire, treasure.
