This game is so facinating, the rougelite genre is truly thriving

24:20 Listening to him get teacher-mad at chat is hilarious.

My god they finally did it, Chess 2.

i kinda don't like that the enemy king can just move into your king's space. something about it makes me feel uncomfortable

Imagine a collab with Levy on this where NL is coaching him on how to absolutely blast the enemy pieces into oblivion. Even better: some sort of hand and brain game with Dan where he tells Dan when to move and when to shoot.

21:08 I was listening to the ramble about how the bullets were inconsistent, and I will agree that shot was something that only RNG could actually do. That being said, I also had to rewatch the part at 19:30 to make absolutely sure there was fuckery involved, and I will say it straight- though it might seem like the bullet was wrong, because the bullet that flies off wasn't even in the arc that was guaranteed, its because of the ability that NL picked up at 17:38- Saboteur, which makes one of the bullets in the shot spread off. Of course, this also bears the question that the word should be 'Pellets', as shotguns don't fire bullets, they fire pellets in a stream. This may cause less confusion in the future, or maybe it's just me being really pedantic about shotgun physics because its my favourite kind of firearm, but I hope this little explanation helps a bit!

Of all the things that are amazing about the simplicity of this game, there's something about the music that is so perfect I can't quite explain it.

NL moving out of check, losing his scope, when he is simply able to shoot the thing checking him is killing me

Of all the ways for that last run to end, I never would have guessed it to be in that way. Absolutely brutal end for your best run thus far.

NL is 33, but treats chat like they're 10, but treats other Nintendo Switch Sports players like they're also 33 even though they're more likely to be 10 wildin

18:40 "Because you can move orthogonally... Aghh!" Had me creasing, love this game and NL playing it.

so i zoned out for a bit and came back in at 25:25 ish and i hear him yelling at chat telling them to read silently in a language they dont understand and im wondering what possibly could've brought this wrath upon the chat

Kendrick: “found myself screaming in a hotel room” NL: 18:47

Watching NL get excited about a plan and then rushing to make moves is so hilarious to me. I would suck at this game too, but god damn that is comedy.

13:15 If I'm reading this right, the Ritual Dagger plus what he had already would have resulted in a situation where (with the pawns now gone) he could've one-shot sniped the king at the beginning of each round while the moat would've kept him safe from any counter?

This game is pog, love the different upgrades and the card system, bustin through that horde mode was so satisfying

The animation and music combined with NL reaction to the game over are so good.

"You blocked my escape you pieces," NL talking to pieces

Was literally just thinking about rewatching the first episode. Fucking POG

This new chess patch looks damn unbalanced

Important Caveat to Saboteur that I just learned about today: The one bullet that gets double Arc is actually one of the pellets that is very likely to miss as a result. This means that that card is very close to just giving -1 Power.

This only makes me want to watch NL play chess again. Truely the best time

After watching you play I picked up the game and ran through till I got the final checkmate. Great game, more thought than I initially thought it would take. Solid 7.5/10 game

Im so hyped for this series it feels like you just combined chess commentary with isaac gameplay, i love it ! Please mister egg keep it coming

I am happy to see more of this

This was some unexpected pog. I hope we get another episode so we can see a bit more of what the game has to offer

Watching you and @Stanz and @Aliensrock kill your run with a discovered check is endlessly entertaining. You guys are hysterical. 😂 99% sure I’d do the same, but so fun to watch someone else.

I like the death animations on the pieces when the king is killed.

I’m really liking this game man. NL gives another hour of great entertainment yet again 💯

Wow I did not expect that god run to end like that, that's tough

I was laughing until he went teacher mode and can honestly say I haven't felt that told off since school

With God as my witness, the friendly teacher bit made me sit up straight in my chair

"because the bishops move like damn rooks man!" Is such a great out of context quote

What a neat idea for game, it's such a new look at the classic

That last run was pretty sick

i sighed so hard at the end. because i know it would be something i'd do.

I love watching him play this

1:05:15 "And it doesn't make pawns move orthogonally" That'd be so busted. lol Instant promote turn 1.

The actual quote is "his heart rips in half" but I appreciate the reference

Surprised to see more of this yet I’m still pogging

57:53 - 58:10 is pure art

That twist ending had me rolling

It’s so obvious that chat has never played the game. Which makes the back seating extra painful, because pellet rng is a serious gamble

You are not in check when there is a moat

great combo!

You’re not gonna check me with just a king… WAIT A MINUTE!

Holy shiiittt this game is made for you Ryan

>takes card that makes one of your pellets more likely to miss >complains when pellet misses

This episode is just chat being drunk all the time

NL in teacher mode with the dad buff... truly incredible

This is honestly very pogged content

Now we just gotta get him to play some chess evolved online.

This is amazing

33:53 my heart too breaks LOL

clip start: 21:56 clip end: 22:14 the most hilarious stuff!

"10 minutes silent reading in a language you don't even understand." 🤣 Get absolutely rolled!

This is awesome

When this game is good, this game is GOOD

I love this game

I love this game!!

Can you kill pieces normally by just taking them as you would normal chess, or do they all have to be shot?

34:06 the graceful fall it bothered me

the ESL teacher bit was too real

I love how he forgets chess when he plays this 😅

Yeah I don't like the rng of damage but you should definitely always go for safe moves, I mean the shields are very much like 'hey don't do that'.

That missclick ending the sniper run was heartbreaking

Took me like 10 tries but I beat it on Normal. Went in on Hard and got to 12th board on my first try. Everything's fine, easy win, and I die to a revealed queen.

Yea we here

am i correct when he got that bishop move that makes them move like rooks...he essentially turned all bishops into queens?

I cant quite see, where does it say if he's in check or discovered check ?

That teacher bit gave me ptsd

holy SHIT this was good

Roguelite creators are always so brilliant

19:38 Well, sh*t

great game

Poggers my brothers!

i love shotgun king

Watching him suck at the game got me, and I beat normal mode in 45 minutes. My chess ELO is like 690, my man

society would be 10x more advanced if NL used 3 more seconds to think when he has no shields

This game is really cool. Only complaint I have just from watching is holy mother of photo sensitivity, jesus christ developer.

MORE!!!!!!!!!!

I don't understand why the shields protect you from dying when you shoot at an enemy except for when it doesn't kill them when you could have, it seems really stupid.

Man, the "Your shot did 3 damage instead of 4 because your one bullet decided to hug the left angle so now you die with no second chance" is annoying. But it's a very fun game with many more ups than downs. Oh! And moments like 34:00 where he uses his extra move that doesn't take his turn but still gets killed by the bishop.

21:07 TF2 players: First time?

great video

Twitch spoilers: KZfaq chat will love the part where he loses it

WTF is you doing!?? x20 COMBO. Here's a little hint for you, NL: each chess piece type has a limited and defined movement capability. It's something you can exploit to plan ahead so it doesn't look like a toddler is playing. Hope that helps!

So which moment does the title refer to

All the cards were filled! What happens next?!

Tilted as fuck

I bought this game and won after 30 minutes on 3rd attempt. Default settings (normal & 2shields).

'chesslike' games are amazing cause they seem to be made for people who cannot into chess so if you can into chess its as if you already know what to do xD

NL bad chess skills aside, this game looks incredible.

what variant is this?

Also on the predictibility of damage, it seems you get one pellet on each end of the arc and the rest equally far apart. Most of the 3 dmg point blank shots are because NL yeets the outermost pellet into the void. Some markings on the arc would make the shots more clear Also if i'm totally wrong, and it's 4 random points on that arc ignore my rant

28:31 hahaha

really fun game, but I feel the bckseating will make it go to the farm upstate witth slasher's keep

Any other 30+ year old gamers around who think the sound font in this game sounds familiar? It's really good but it's driving me nuts what it's reminding me over

33:54 you’re welcome

last time I was this early egg still had hair
