Short description
It seems like Chinese Chess, but perhaps you can hold the entire game with just a crossbow. A strategy-based turn-based roguelike game.
About this game
This time it's Chinese chess, but you have to play alone against the enemy. You can act every turn and have the long-range shooting ability of a crossbow; the enemy's army is closing in, and they will act whenever their patience runs out. On your turn, you can choose to move or shoot. Your crossbow has an extremely long range, but it is only precise in a flat shot within effective range. At long distances, the shot will randomly land somewhere within the expected area. Skillfully control the distance between you and the enemy to avoid being checkmated, and decisively shoot arrows to weaken the enemy’s ability to act, perhaps finding a slim chance of survival in the deadly battle. After each level, the shop will randomly offer various options for both character and enemy buffs. You can spend gold to strengthen yourself or take a risk by choosing to give buffs to the enemy, earning extra money to further enhance your own abilities. Balance the risks and rewards, and make careful decisions as you face increasingly complex challenges. In this unpredictable battlefield, who knows whether you can defy fate and perhaps truly end some of the boring chess games. Each game typically takes around 15 minutes to complete. The core gameplay is mostly complete, but we are still working on gameplay refinement, balance adjustments, and performance optimization . Your feedback is invaluable in helping us further polish the game and enhance the final experience.
