Overview
This Is Not Chess is a charming turn-based tactics game that swaps traditional unit-by-unit turns for a more strategic action point system. Developed and published by Courtney Dawson, this title offers a fresh take on the genre with its quirky characters and colorful battlefields.
Highlights

- Tactical Depth: The game encourages strategic thinking by allowing players to plan ahead with techniques or react quickly by spending actions to hasten their execution.
- Moddable Content: With a level editor and modding support, players can create and share their own battlefields and scenarios, extending the game's replayability.
