Strafe Mode’s instant disgust into rapid redemption arc was great

Secret Heir: Gets knocked back. Tyler: Secret Heir is dead.

I learned that if you run out of ammo, and then load one into your chamber, if you continue to move around before firing you will regenerate 1 every move, but if you fire and then move you will only generate 1 every other move because you must load it before you will generate another one.

I like how historically, black mist has done _nothing_ and Tyler still finds it preferable 😂

11:43 you missed this chance, strafe the king + taunting hop him will deal 5 damage and ultimately giving you a brutal victory

That final battle was close, man had so 2 immortal queens along with a bunch of random pieces, and a knight that needed to be killed. Your win there feels like a miracle. Also Black mist finally did something

The trend of shitting on something and then almost immediately finding a smile-inducing way to use it makes this twice as enjoyable to watch

I think a lot of people have the wrong philosophy when it comes to upgrades. The game gets harder only because of the upgrades. If you could skip every upgrade for the first 10 floors you could win even against the boss pretty easily at least up until ultra hard. You need to focus on taking the better downgrade more than taking the better upgrade in most cases.

3:13, strafe mode is the only reason you potentially could have been able to get out of that. Also props to the backup pawn ;) Except for that knight power lol.

Nice, i was worried about conscription at the end there, promote knight was unironically a death sentence, sometimes lucky Mechanic of the day: turn types. You can categorise all actions in the game into 4 categories, this can help to figure out how strong some of those active abilities are. Aggressive action: An action that allows you to fire your gun in addition to any other effects it entails: e.g. loafers is good because it allows you to tag movement onto an aggressive action. Recovery action: An action that allows you to either generate ammo or reload your shotgun: e.g. taunting hop is actually a recovery action, probably the only thing making it usable. Extra action: An action that does not progress time: e.g. All wands are extra actions Its own action: An action that does nothing other than its listed effects and progresses time: e.g grenades would be an extra action. Extra: A reload action can load all ammo in a single turn, if you are in need of dps over time, holding onto enough spare ammo to reload your gun in one turn will give better dps than loading one shell at a time (2+ ammo shotguns only). This of course comes with the risk of leaving more enemies alive in the short term.

True fans will remember the title was originally "My King Moves Like A Queen"

Speaking of missed opportunities, I would've found it to be a neat little detail if the player's color swapped with every victory. Doubly so since the end screen even says that the black king would be ruling again. Having the player be part of the cycle would've probably been way too much to program for something so insignificant and not even part of the gameplay, but seeing it happen would be incredibly satisfying. It also provides the devs with a good excuse to have that Court of the Crimson King card Tyler mentioned.

Maybe they should change the knock back so pieces are stunned afterwards so they can't immediately check you or something like that

Tyler: *unlocks knight soul upgrade* Souls: and i took that personal

That was probably the most fun run I've ever seen of this game. I loved the insane movement perks you built up! I kind of wonder what the "best build" for movement is in this game. I'm sure this comes incredibly close lol

Man is playing Doom Chess. Doing executions with gun and foot.

"Checkmate!" **TAKES OUT A SHOTGUN**

14:50 it bothers me that white has all of the correct pieces on the back, but the rooks, bishops, and knights are in the wrong spot

You can regain more ammo quicker by moving a bunch with your gun loaded!

Thanks for the videos! Good stuff!

a small thing: Shields won't activate if you're shooting an *adjacent* piece and have enough damage to instantly them, *not* if you have a 100% chance of killing them the difference is that when you're shooting a piece 2 spaces away and have a 100% chance of killing them (enough damage, insanely small arc) the shields will still trigger. And if you're shooting an adjacent piece with a non-100% of killing (enough damage, insane arc/possibly blocking pieces/bodyguards card) they won't trigger. They are a bit weird and misleading, always make sure you have a clear shot

A discovery I've found is if your shotgun is fully reloaded, every move you make gives you ammo. So sometimes a good strategy is to move without shooting to stock up ammo for future pieces.

This was a good one! I was at the edge of my seat at the final battle.

Great run always kept me wondering what would happen next

It's intresting seeing all of the different unique upgrades

3:15 strafe is good for killing something that has you in check then you can move into that area

Love it, subscribed :)

11:55 question: what if you strafe-shot jump over the 5 hp king?

“movement is king” love it

Wow, Tyler! Your King Can Move LIKE A QUEEN!

I like how if this was put in a real scenario it’s just a king with a shotgun going on a killing spree

damn fire last fight also wow black mist actually works

Tyler out here playing chess like it's Titanfall

Becayse tyler likes to show failed runs as well as successes, I had no clue if that was going to win or not. I liked it.

Scouting's a good job mate!

This game is awesome :D

The rook looked so intimidating when it slowly got to the king

For the next run you should take the red book, and keep the bishop alive at the end for an extra challenge.

If you can pick the red book, then get it. It has a special interaction if you beat floor 12 while a bishop is still alive.

The title used to be My king can move like a queen

I love this game. Not only we can play chess with a king who uses shotgun but we can also upgrade the king into a budget queen and play checkers.

cool build, better content than the people just going for firepower and nothing else

By the end of the run, you're looking like more of a shotgun _queen!_

14:51 Deja vu I've been here in this place before.

Welcome to the build where the king becomes a queen

"Movement is king, mind the pawn" lol

Yo he legit turned from king into a queen with those movement upgrades lol

King Crimson fan spotted, was not expecting that reference in an aliensrock video ngl

that final boss fight was insane. gg

Glory kills? In my chess? It's more likely than you think

Ok so im sick, just threw up an hour ago and pretty delirious and thought this synergy was so beautiful i almost started crying.

It's cool to see the thumbnail changes

You missed a safe spot when you used your black mist against the king

He gets strafe mode wrong, and then it pulls no punches... that was fun.

Theocracy + The Red Book + one surviving bishop in boss fight = Secret boss

"got the heir" lol

1: Scouting is actually fine. You might not get an extra turn from killing a knight, but you wouldn't have to deal with the bodyguard card for a while. 2: High Focus is OP. Especially when you get it twice. It becomes like a slightly nerfed scope, AND you deal extra damage. So, it's a super sniper. I don't really see any real downsides here.

16:58 you actually didn't get the heir here but just knocked it back, u got it next move

11:24 at this part you should have a win if you pay a close attention

Strafing lets you shoot at point blank while in chheck

19:45 it’s does it’s called a HIT AND RUN 😂

I just noticed that the boss king's hand is wrong, and now I can't unsee it

When the ad stoped i heard yeyes

At this point he’s playing shotgun queen

Meet The Scout

I like turning it up to 3 shields

what happens if the secert heir gets promoted? two kings?

I would LOVE to see how horde chess plays in this game.

I've got a question there is a card the caltrops card it says it slows down black reinforcement cards too so are there really rare cards that give you reinforcements or is that for the black bishop boss

Today he will be playing shotgun queen

The agility build

It seems to me like black mist teleports you to the last spot you were in. For that time when the boss skipped black mist, if black mist was activated, it would've teleported you to a spot where the king can still get you. Edit: Nevermind, that's what I get for jumping to the comments

New game i found and this is great

Havnt watched the whole video yet but Strafing is good because you can get close range damage without being close.

I never even knew it was possible to reload ammo without moving

Hard mode is hard- George Lincoln

Starscourge Radahn with a shotgun be like

I really feel like the thing with hard mode removing a shell from the shotgun isnt too bad, since without elite gem you still have to take 2 turns to reload one shell if you run out of ammo, which isnt always too uncommon

Turns out Strafe gets a lot better when you have multiple shells in your shotgun.

8:51 looks like there is 2 king

thumbnail literally changed between me seeing this and clicking on it

You aren't the only one who feels curtsey is bad. If you knock a piece so that you end up in check in any way, you will lose a life, and sometimes it gets knocked back in a wierd direction

You mind answer me why don't reload a large amount of ammo? In hard mode with 1 shell in the gun you can move to get a shell and reload or move to reload this takes 2 turns and after that every time you move it will give you one shell. It'll save you some time it's understandable to not do it in normal because it takes 4 turns to make this work but hard it takes just 2.

Fun fact before full release the kings shot gun always had a single bullet loaded .

I like how hard mode is just an easier version of the demo

To be honest I usually use strayf mode to lock on an enemy not to move while shooting

Cool

saw the video in my recommended twice at different times and noticed that the title is different lol

You should try getting theocracy and red book its unlocks a fun little easter egg :)

If a pawn is between you and a rook, and you destroy the pawn, but the rook wasn't going to move yet do you die? I guess you maybe do because I don't think you can go in the path of pieces even when they aren't going to move yet. I feel like according to the rules of chess you shouldn't die though, because being in check doesn't kill you, being in a position where you will be taken the next turn kills you, and if the piece wasn't going to move the next turn you wouldn't have been killed then.

I wonder if the pawn heir would turn into the boss king if you dont kill it before you kill the boss king

0:35 i never heard of lets plays getting dubbed, what language do you think of?

Queen Gaming

12:00 strafe + jump on king wold kill it 5 hp?

(nvm I see why he keeps them) Haven't played this game, is there an option to turn off folly shields? It seems more annoying than useful, sure it could save you if you didn't see a check, but I mean you can also just be good at chess lol

Rambo 3: Chess but AMERICAN

I saw the moment he changed the thumbnail

Can someone explain on the final floor why he didn’t just kill the king and instead zigzagged to get the knight before the king????
