RookRiot Makes Chess Loud
A game of chess with AI opponents, online rooms, collectible skins, capture cutscenes, loot drops, and a first-person roguelike mode.
Field notes
RookRiot layers collectible characters, board skins, Arena Coins, and capture celebrations onto conventional chess matches. Its homepage names three AI difficulty levels, supports rooms shared by invite link or email, and describes a desktop-only Gauntlet that recasts chess movement as a first-person run across endless ranks. Six free characters and seven Season 1 boards are currently displayed, while crossover drops remain presented as rumors or work in progress.
