Chogue: Where Chess Turns Into A Dungeon Crawler Roguelike Title

Chogue is a bit like Chess (in term ò the movement) and a bit like Rogue (in term of the actual gameplay). It can surely deliver some surprises to your very vulnerable King.

Chogue gameplay

In this game, you will get to explore some labyrinths with a checkerboard layout; the dangers are just hidden every single step out of your sight. All the pieces (characters/ enemies ) move exactly how they move in Chess, but there is the further problem with that fog of war so you can't see where your enemies are hiding. Check out the trailer below for a visual demonstration:

A good tip for you is to send that Rook to check out the corridor beforehand to see what will happen down that hallway once you enter. Or you can use the Pawn to slowly crawl into the room so you won't lose too much to the Bishop that lurks just around the corner to catch your valuable pieces.

A more stressful Chess

This unique formula makes a significant change to the traditional game mechanic of Chess, which results in a stressful, tense roguelike game where you could step right into danger without noticing it. Not that Chess isn't stressful, but in that game, at least you can see where all the pieces are. In Chogue, you can easily step into a group of Knights in an L-shape formation. And remember that each piece you lose will bring you closer to your own doom.

Chogue is an intelligent mingling game, and its playstyle results in a satisfying yet stressful gameplay experience.

The game is now available on Google Play, App Store, and its developer’s site.
