Chessplosion is like Bomberman but with chess piecesIt’s chess, but the pieces are bombs, and you are a duck
It’s chess, but the pieces are bombs, and you are a duck

In Chessplosion you control a cute duck who hefts chess piece-shaped bombs onto its head. The aim of the game is simple: drop these pieces onto the board, create explosive chain reactions, and toast your opponents. But crucially - don’t toast yourself in the process.
Each chess piece-bomb explodes in a manner similar to how they’d move. For example, drop a Rook and it’ll explode in a cross shape, while a Bishop explodes outwards diagonally. Things get frantic when you pop multiple pieces down quickly, as you can imagine.

I like the sound of Chessplosion’s PVP modes too. You’ve got one on one fights, team battles, and even a Tennis Battle mode which has you throw bombs over a centre line for your opponents to dodge. Man, developer CT Matthews has absolutely packed the game full of splodey goodness.
Chessplosion arrives onSteamanditch.iothis September and I can already tell I will be awful at it.
