How it feels

Gigachess transforms chess into a tense, fast-paced tactical rush as you defend against endless procedurally generated waves of enemy pawns.

What players say

Players describe Gigachess as a chess-themed puzzle game, not a full chess game, using only knights, rooks, and bishops. The endless mode is popular and praised for its challenge, while puzzle mode is hard. Some note performance issues on older laptops, and a few wish for more cosmetic options.
