About

PEGI 12Developer site
A unique strategy roguelike based on the timeless checkboard classic
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!

★★★★★positiveJovon William · 2026-08-30 · v1.1.28-google
just a good game in general
★★★★★positiveHoward · 2026-08-30 · v1.1.28-google
Great game! Could use some tweaks for a better mobile experience. Such as moving the shotgun icon to the bottom of the board to make it easier to tap with your thumbs. Also, having a portrait mode option would be especially convenient.
★★★★★positiveThe Mobile · 2026-08-30 · v1.1.28-google
very gud and cheap one, genuinky the best in this economy
★★★★★positiveyoraco marcanos · 2026-08-29 · v1.1.28-google
I enjoy playing this game👌.
★★★★positiveLinus Mok · 2026-08-28 · v1.1.28-google
Some interesting take on chess. My only problem is there no save between stages. It might not be big issue on PC, but it's tricky to finish one run in mobile. At least having some save/exit option between stages will be awesome. Or trigger save the moment "app minimise" could be useful.
★★★★★positiveSomething Right · 2026-08-28 · v1.1.28-google
did see this game on pc at first. i did played it before and it was very fun. i like this sort of roguelike games. very fun indeed. for me i give it 9 shotgun shells out of 10 shotgun shells.

Truly amazing.
★★★★★positiveMichael Malcolmson · 2026-08-20 · v1.1.28-google
I am the king and I have a shotgun 10/10
★★★★negativeNemo Robles · 2026-08-19 · v1.1.28-google
Bought this to play on the airplane ✈️ but when I booted it up it would not start without signing in online! Please fix the online reliance on bootup.
★★★★negativeWallace Andrews · 2026-08-14 · v1.1.28-google
I remember enjoying the demo on steam a lot a while back, and never managed to get to the end of it, so I expected i was buying a game with a challenge to it. Completed the game in about 10 minutes. Balancing is terrible. theres essentially nothing else of interest, and apparently its against policy to give refunds for this game?? i regret giving them anything.
★★★★★positiveMax · 2026-08-14 · v1.1.28-google
VERY AWESOME GAME
★★★★★positiveBrian Terrill · 2026-08-13 · v1.1.28-google
Great single player variation on chess.
★★★★★positiveTaha Jawaid Chaudhry · 2026-08-09 · v1.1.28-google
I've played Shotgun King on PC many times and I downloaded it for good time pass. A bit finicky on mobile but still a lot of fun.
★★★★positiveJSRhedgehog 99 · 2026-08-09 · v1.1.28-google
mobile feels a little finicky when it comes to aiming and shooting. but overall, it's faithful to the steam version
★★★★★positiveTao Andrus · 2026-08-08
fun and well ported
★★★★★positiveKristian Rivera · 2026-08-03 · v1.1.28-google
best game with a lot of replayability.
★★★★★positiveBen Scheper · 2026-07-26 · v1.1.28-google
peak
★★★★★positiveSam Olgers · 2026-07-26 · v1.1.28-google
very good game, the only thing its missing is constant saving and being able to go back to your old session. since its now a mobile game its very easy to get distracted and put your phone away from some time. when you get back your run is wiped, would be awesome if there was a continue option like with the other rogue likes on mobile
★★★★positiveBridget Ravensbergen · 2026-07-20 · v1.1.28-google
Very fun, well made game that executes well on the base concept. my only complaint is that there's no way to save progress on a run, and the game resets if you don't play for long enough. with save files it would be an easy 5 stars.
★★★★★positiveMentions pricingJon D · 2026-07-19 · v1.1.28-google
Absolutely love it! Well worth my money
★★★★★positiveDebjyoti chatterjee · 2026-07-19
very good
★★★★★negativeBogdan Hobinca · 2026-07-19 · v1.1.28-google
The game is pretty fun, but it has some issues, mainly with the mobile experience: - text font and color can be hard to read on a phone screen - run cannot be saved (as far as I can see). For me, for a phone rogue-lite this is a deal breaker. I play the game while waiting or on small downtime between activities, but losing all progress of a run because I couldn't play without a break makes me want to play something else instead
★★★★★positiveMyXperiaActiveDev Sony · 2026-07-18 · v1.1.28-google
Very fun game
★★★★★positiveErsen · 2026-07-17 · v1.1.28-google
an instant classic, perfect port to mobile.
★★★★★positiveBaolau Oh · 2026-07-16 · v1.1.28-google
turn based battles with some chess and some shooting. tons of fun
