Prepare for a challenging descent into a corrupted kingdom in Chivalware, a fast-paced action roguelite developed by Regal Pigeon and published by The Arcade Crew, Imperfect Games, and Dotemu. You step into the armored boots of a Disk Knight, a warrior renowned for wielding powerful weapon disks.
The kingdom's fate rests on your shoulders as you're tasked with confronting its mad king, driven to ruin by isolation and unchecked power.
However, the path to the castle is not straightforward. Strange glitches plague the land, hinting at a deeper, more sinister truth lurking beneath the surface.
Chivalware blends intense combat with unique tactical tile-matching mechanics. To unleash devastating attacks, you'll need to charge your weapon disks by strategically matching colored tiles on the battlefield.
The more tiles you match, the more potent your offensive capabilities become.
Mastering Chivalware requires constant movement and keen observation. You must fluidly weave in and out of enemy assaults, timing your weapon recharges on the fly.
Learning enemy patterns and the battlefield's layout is crucial for identifying the perfect moment to strike. Standing still is not an option for a Disk Knight; survival depends on your agility and tactical prowess.
With its pixel graphics and arcade-inspired gameplay, Chivalware promises a demanding yet rewarding experience for players seeking a fresh take on the roguelite genre. The game is slated for release in Q4 2026 and supports full controller input, Steam Achievements, and Steam Cloud saves.
