He can’t help but synergize even if it’s for the other team

@@vmp916 lol TRUE

When you put it like that yeah... he did that

You’ve got to love when the devs have a good sense of humor about their game not requiring literally anything to run

Indie for life

Laidback humor and well-dosed wit in the sales pitch, you love to see it.

Runs great on linux!

I'm pretty sure it's possible to do a demake on SNES

I thought this might be true but didn't know. Thank you for the validation lol

@@D33r_Hunt3r_wdym? It’s apparent by using your eyes.

The double iron queen situation was an absolute highlight, I love the NL attitude era.

The angry 🥚

This mechanic made me hate the game, sadly. Luck has no place in a chess-like game. Adding random elements to it just makes it bad. At 16:13 for example he hits the knight and the pawn right in front of him, 3 tiles away, for 1 damage, then the pawn at 4 tiles away for 2 damage, and the rook all the way back 5 tiles away for 1 damage too. Just bad.

@@xxgattox that's because you're no fun.

@@xxgattox ah see, your problem is that you think this is a chess-like game. It is a shotgun-like game, with chess elements.

@@xxgattox it's a rougelike shotgun based game that just happens to use chess pieces, not a chess game

@@CDCHexaku oh I see, I'm interested now!... Nah I'm kidding idgaf about semantics, I still don't enjoy it.

Funnily enough adding more pawns isn’t that bad because they are still very weak and help block other stronger pieces (unless you take the buff that lets pawns move in any direction)

lol that drove me crazy, he gave the AI as much synergy as he could

@@DouePls Still pretty bad with the pike one too. You end up with a wall that just takes extra turns to deal with.

It's his first time playing man chill

@@DouePls Definitely, and if you chain that with the one that refunds ammo for killing pawns-you turned a seeming negative into a positive; stunning game!

The Wire?!??!?! Damn homie i read that in the exact voice lol

og devs been sleeping on their game for too long, these fan-made spin-off are popping off

Only chess 960 and this are better than OG chess

Jasper Horn There’s a bunch of fairy chess variations as well that are cool.

@@jasperhorn3271 this is not better than og chess

I'm seventeen minutes in and he's making manic misplays and asking the dumbest questions that have common sense answers. So idk what vid you're watching.

13:51 "if i moused over him the arc was so big but if i moused just slightly before him there was no problem" drove me nuts lol

He thought he went from hip firing to ads, but in reality he just said "if I can hit it from this far away, surely a _little_ further won't be a problem"

why does this not work?? wouldn't that ensure that every bullet hits the one unit?

@@divinelathe the arc is the opening between two lines, your mouse shows it at varying distances, but the opening still stays the same at that distance.

I thought the same thing as nl. For a minute I thought I was just dumb, but I now realize that the crosshair is just sorta confusing and misleading. I think this mainly stems from there being no visual representation that your shot is going to hit the enemies between you and your crosshair. If it showed a cone of coverage that followed up until the arc I think it would be much more clear.

Rogue like youtubers are contractually forced to play at least one rogue like that has recently released every once in a while

I believe aliensrock usually uploads videos of games before NL plays them.

K8 played it the day before too when nl raided her

@@speedfastman true

He watches sifd's channel

NL: *plays a chess roguelite with shotgun* me: -_- Luna: "Hi Chat!" me: OwO

@@Keisuki raising a streamer to take his place when he retires

wait if ur dissapointment is immeasureable then how could you possibly have excitement to the same measure, when it was immeasurable?

@@TheWolfanderson imaginary numbers

Now your day is not ruined anymore.

@@TheWolfanderson Disappointment was equal to x Now excitement is equal to x

Just say "I'm pogged!" next time

I agree

Yeah but almost every youtuber quit it because RNG influence > your influence (Tyler, trying to get secret ending but failed even with ~19 recorded runs), discovery checkmate (Cartoonz, died 99% because of that), too difficult for casual / non-puzzle gamer (ZackScottGames, lose in the NORMAL and even EASY difficulty several times until he got pre-nerfed grenades in earlier version of the game), random bullet spread and knockback (Gamegrumps, getting checkmated by a 3HP pawn checking that is protected by another pawn blocking 2 out of 4 pellets and by a knight that is knockbacked away in earlier version. In addition, off-topic talks and not paying attention to a litteral modification of a competitive game that require your attention to not lose like every other competitive game), etc.

and there's still no En Passant, literally unplayable

@@randys2669 En passant is only available pawn vs pawn when 1 of the pawn use the double move to the side of the opponent pawn. You can't en passant with litteraly no pawn let alone an army in SG: The Final Checkmate.

You can just read the Folly Shield's description ( i rccomended SK: The Final Checkmate Wiki in fandom version because it's informative). Also your CSGO example is a game review while folly shield is a warning which tell you this is risky move in the computer's view (Taking a shot on pieces that check you more than 1 tile away, moving into check, and not moving to safety while being in check).

Absolute genius.

He's not a shape rotator, I wanna believe most people realized that.

There are options to remove that, the screen shake, and the crt tv effect

So goated calling it a minigame hurts because that shit could be its own game its so fun

The Ludum Dare version didn't have an ending, the white side would get stronger indefinitely until the black king was checkmated.

@@imperiallarch7610 Ah, ok. Now it makes sense.

it reminds me of Hobo with shotgun for some reason lol
