Coming Soon — iOS

Kings

A chess RPG adventure game for iOS where every piece has a story, every move shapes the kingdom, and the board is just the beginning.

The Game

Chess Meets Adventure RPG

Kings reimagines chess as a living, breathing world. Your pieces aren't just shapes on a board — they're characters with histories, abilities, and fates. Every match is a campaign.

RPG Combat System

Pieces level up, earn abilities, and carry scars from previous battles. Your knight who survived three captures plays differently than a fresh recruit.

Story Campaign

A hand-crafted narrative unfolds across dozens of puzzle-battles. Discover why the kingdoms went to war and what it costs to end it.

World Map

Navigate a kingdom map between battles. Choose your path, unlock regions, and build alliances that affect which pieces fight by your side.

Ranked PvP

Take your leveled pieces into ranked matches against other players. Pure chess strategy — but your roster of battle-hardened pieces is yours to build.

Characters

Every Piece Has a Role

In Kings, the classic chess pieces become archetypes in an evolving roster of characters with unique personalities, upgrade paths, and lore.

The King
Tactician — Protect at all costs
The Queen
Champion — Unstoppable force
The Rook
Guardian — Fortress of the realm
The Bishop
Sage — Master of angles
The Knight
Ranger — Unpredictable & fierce
The Pawn
Recruit — Hidden potential
Platform

Designed for iPhone & iPad

Kings is built natively for iOS — touch-first, gorgeous on any screen size, and designed to be just as compelling in a 5-minute session as in a deep weekend campaign.

Touch-First Controls

Designed from the ground up for touch. Intuitive drag-and-drop moves, swipe gestures for menus, and haptic feedback for captures.

Hand-Crafted Art

Original artwork for every piece, kingdom, and ability. A visual style that stands apart from every other chess app on the App Store.

iCloud Sync

Your campaign progress, ranked record, and piece roster sync automatically across all your Apple devices.
