King-Dom

"How about a nice game of Chess ... Weaponised?"
"Verily, A Gameth That Hath The Familiar ... And Yet Also, The Not-So !-)"
PC 64-bit, Windows 7+, DirectX 11, shader model 4.0, 1920x1080 or windowed.

A TWO-PLAYER ONLY online (choose an opponent from your Steam friends list) Chess, in an edgeless landscape called "Kingland", with upgrades. You can choose to play a traditional game of Chess (choose landscape size "Chess"), or enhanced Chess in one of nine million procedurally-generated landscapes. Koins can be collected, to purchase reinforcements, and bombs retrieved, to toss at the enemy! Cheese can be picked up to replenish pieces' energy levels. You can use one Rook to build board square paths across empty landscape, and two corner Rooks to enclose and fill rectangular areas, to claim territory and "magically mine", or "pop-up", goodies from Kingland. You can move your King inside a Rook to beat a hasty retreat. Knights can perform a double move (two of the standard moves in one). Etc.

PLEASE feel free to make short video clips and post them in the relevant place - I could use some myself - my machine simply cannot run a 3D game and record video adequately (frames rate) simultaneously !-(
