## Shotgun King Description
Chess, but all your army has gone over to the white side, leaving you with nothing but your royal shotgun and your wounded pride. Carried by your dark folly, you decide it's time to teach those white pieces to fear the Shotgun King.

Every turn, you may either move your king or shoot at enemy pieces, after what you'll need to move again to reload your shotgun. Avoid checkmate and kill the enemy king to complete the floor. After each floor, you may choose between two random combinations of one upgrade for you and one upgrade for the other side. Choose wisely and keep on winning floors and you just may get your kingdom back.

Runs may take ~20 minutes to complete. The game features 15 ranks of difficulty, unlockable cards, over 100 achievements to complete, an endless mode, and now a chase mode where you get continually assailed from all sides!

## Shotgun King Reviews in United States

### ***** "Good"
Good
-- Rider f, 2026-03-25

### ***** "Good Game"
Super satisfying graphics and sound design + interesting and engaging gameplay.
-- WeaMac, 2026-03-18

### ****- "Good game, but no mid-run saves"
The game is a fine take on the roguelike genre. Very replayable, interesting choices once you get your head around the gameplay. Losses really feel like it’s your fault and not simple RNG, which is satisfying.

There’s a few small UX issues when playing on mobile, like differentiating between moves and attacks when you have long movements available. However, my main issue is the lack of a save file mid-run. If you close the game for any amount of time you will lose all progress and have to start anew. A pretty frustrating feature on mobile (where play sessions are shorter than PC) – would probably give it 5-stars if they fixed that.
-- Alzer9, 2026-03-17

### ****- "Stay away from the Royal Loafers"
Great game! Experimental builds are rewarded with new shotguns, which is a fun incentive. Different game modes to switch things up if you need. I personally love the original Throne and climbing the ranks. Would be a 5 , but the game is currently bugged. The Royal Loafers, the one that makes you run and gun, crashes the game. If you’re curious , try the demo on Steam and see for you like it. That’s how I got into this. I prefer the ease of playing on my phone instead of being locked down on my PC. Seems very fitting to be a game you can play on the go.

### ***** "If you pay for a game, pay for this one"
The gameplay loop is so entertaining to me, so many little details I’m surprised this game is not more popular.

However, I keep encountering a glitch where using right stick to aim while using the white shoes or the search orb causes the game to freeze completely. Works same as pc version otherwise
-- Anfytsg, 2026-03-13

### ***** "The best chess roguelite finally comes to Mobile"
Bought this game the SECOND I saw it on the App Store because I’ve played at least a dozen hours on steam and it’s been amazing, easily the best chess roguelite ever made and I can’t wait for it to take up hours and hours of time I would normally have spent doom scrolling.
-- carpe-dmt, 2026-03-09

### ****- "Amazing Game, Critical Bugs (Crashes)"
I love the game but the game crashes various points. The most regular crash seems to be when wearing the “shoes” and aiming. Some other crashes have occurred as well. Happens 25% of my runs which is frustrating.
-- Mac2298, 2026-03-07

### ***-- "Clunky controls"
Great game if it werent for the clunky controls. Either let me drag and shoot or drag and move or tap to shoot or tap to move, every time but not all 4 at random.
-- Astrottt, 2026-03-06

### ***** "Gloriously Decadent"
Chess with Shotguns… need I say more?
-- Cipher Lost, 2026-03-06

### ***** "What a game!"
Ive never left a review but this changed that I dont really like games on my phone and didn’t expect much honestly, but this game is well thought out and fun. Super addicting and rewarding.
