SIEGE CHESS
A Medieval World of Strategy, Adventure and Royal History
Chess is just the beginning.
The Krycon Warriors are marching on Henstien Castle. You are the last defence between the enemy and the gates. Fight for your kingdom through chess battles, castle sieges, dungeon adventures, ancient puzzles and tactical warfare.
MEDIEVAL CHESS WITH A TWIST
Challenge the Krycon Warlord across three difficulty levels. Rise through five ranks, from Raw Recruit to Veteran, and discover what happens when your King falls into enemy hands.
Activate The Siege to unleash dragons, hidden trapdoors and flaming arrows. Watch the weather change through lightning, rain, mist and snow.
When only two kings remain, enter the King's Duel, where Charge, Strike, Guard and Feint decide the outcome.
Learn as you play with a 3D piece tutor, overhead Plan View and advice explaining how a checkmate could have been avoided.
Play against the computer, challenge a friend locally or compete online through Game Center.
