About Checkmage! Demo

A chess-based strategy game with casual deckbuilding elements.

In this world, magic is kind of boring. And that's okay.
On wizard island, wizard students play games instead of studying. One of these games involve opening a small portal to the Chess Dimension, where Checkmage! is played.

  

Explore the island! Find secrets, trade cards, and get to know unique characters.

  

This is a demo of the full game. This demo only has one location as a small sample of the full game features listed below:

  • 20+ thoughtfully-designed characters with unique personalities, battle strategies, expressive dialogue and backgrounds. You can rematch them and see their strategies and loadouts improve.

  • 100+ unique pieces, tiles, and spells to collect and experiment with. Mixing and matching different cards in your deck provides endlessly creative ways to play with surprisingly deep and emergent interactions.

  • 6 detailed, hand-crafted locations to explore. Characters you'll meet in one location show up in other places and change their dialog as you progress.

  • A black wind blows through your body... Enter a creepy dungeon for an optional gauntlet mode where you fight randomly generated opponents.
