Our take on Wulin Chess
Positioning is central to combat: rear and side attacks, as well as pressure formations, can increase damage and cause special movement effects.
What is Wulin Chess?
Wulin Chess sets turn-based strategy battles in a dark fantasy world influenced by Chinese martial arts.
Gather martial heroes and assemble a lineup; each character has distinct movement, attack, and skill attributes. Develop them by raising cultivation levels and selecting equipment and items to improve their combat capabilities. Battles take place on boards with terrain features such as obstacles, collisions, rewards, and traps. Positioning also affects combat: attacks from behind or from the side, as well as pressure formations, can increase damage and trigger special movement effects. Resource management is part of each encounter. The story unfolds through battles, introducing allies and adversaries and including plot turns that affect events on the battlefield.
