Kings and Catapults is a turn-based strategy game set in a fantasy world, blending elements of chess with hack-and-slash combat. Players engage in tactical battles on an 8x8 board, where strategic placement of pieces and terrain is key.
Overview
This game offers a unique take on strategy, where players secretly arrange their units and terrain tiles on their half of the battlefield before play begins. Once both sides are ready, the turn-based action commences. Movement and combat mechanics are reminiscent of chess, with players alternating turns. Capturing enemy pieces is a core mechanic, ending your turn and bringing you closer to victory. The ultimate goal is to capture the opposing King, though unlike chess, there is no 'check' mechanic.
