Overview

Chivalware is a fast-paced action roguelite that blends real-time combat with tactical tile-matching. Developed by Regal Pigeon and published by Dotemu and Imperfect Games, this pixel-art adventure puts you in the role of a Disk Knight — a legendary warrior who wields weapon disks.

The kingdom is in peril: its king, driven mad by power and years of isolation, must be slain. But as you carve your way toward the castle, strange glitches hint that something deeper is at play.

Highlights

  • Tile-Matching Combat: Equip up to three weapon disks, each with its own color. Charge a weapon's energy by matching tiles on the battlefield; the more you match, the more you can attack.
  • Dynamic Movement: Constantly move in and out of enemy attacks as you recharge your weapons on the fly. Read the patterns on the battlefield to find the right opportunity to strike.
  • Roguelite Progression: Each run offers new challenges and opportunities, with grid-based movement and a difficulty curve that rewards careful positioning and quick reflexes.

Who It's For

If you enjoy action roguelikes with a twist — think fast-paced combat meets puzzle-like decision-making — Chivalware is worth a look. The grid-based movement and tile-matching mechanics add a layer of strategy that sets it apart from pure action games.

It's challenging, so players who appreciate a good test of skill will feel right at home. The game supports full controller play, making it a great fit for couch sessions or handheld gaming.
