Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate - Don't Chess Your Luck
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate is a game about cheating at chess. One side cheats by having vastly more pieces that can all move at the same time. The other side cheats by bringing a shotgun. I know which side I'd bet on.

Jon, 5 minutes into the video: Use these soul cards liberally
Jon, the other 25 minutes of the video: Forgets about souls for entire floors, even when it's desperately needed and his only good option
Chess with homebrew rules...
It was funny how Jon got the August Presence trait which prevents pawns from moving to any square adjacent to him and he never intentionally used it to stop pawns from moving across the board.
I'm pretty sure he either forgot that he had it, or never understood what it did in the first place. Which is exactly what I expected from good ol 1/10 perception Jon.
In fairness though, the alternative upgrade would probably not have fared any better.
Look this is like magic to me. I can't understand normal chess
Jon seems like the type to call the knight a horsie unironically
Nobody calls it a horsie unironically. Horsie is its proper, ironic name.
r/anarchychess?
he called the rook a castle enough times
@@loveless8241 en passant but it’s given to every piece
@@KanonHara Chess names are weird. Where I´m from: (translated)
Tower. Rider/(or Horse). And Archer. (How they got that one from Bishop I have no idea.)
In case Jon wants to bring this back in any way (or just continue playing it in his own time) you *can* reload without moving, you just click the shotgun at the top of the screen.
Also if youre ever in checkmate like how this ended, just shoot at whoever has you in check and hope you can kill them before they get you, the queen in this instance, dont know what her health was but its better than moving into what you know for sure will kill you.
Jon literally forgot that no non king piece could get within one square. That saved him so many times in floor five.
You can fire while in check but if you have a less than 100% chance of killing the piece putting you in check the folly shield will stop you from shooting. If you burn all your folly shields you can shoot and hope you kill the peice putting you in check. The same applies if you're in check but can shoot the king.
The knight's shield absorbs all damage once. Best to scattershot and get multiple shields in a si gle salvo than point blank and waste so much damage
John says to use souls pretty liberally proceeds to not touch the souls again for the next ten minutes
This one is full of Jon moments. I really needed this.
You're saying Jon has difficulty engaging with something that requires serious technical study? Inconceivable!
8:13 “There’s too many pawns in the field so I don’t want to power them up, let’s add more pawns instead” truly incredible thought process Jon
When Jon said "Yes, that's where the shotgun comes in," I cracked up XD
Yeah, a great moment.
John creates Knights who need a minimum two turns to kill and give the king immortality.
WHY IS THE KING STILL ALIVE!?
BTW you can reload in place by clicking the shotgun in the top left.
You can also push through your shields to take a shot if you really want to, but its often RNG if you'll live if you don't have arc reduction.
I love how Jon gave himself a massive time limit by swarming the board with tons of more hardy pawns heading towards his end of the board for promotion and/or boxing him in, then made it so he had to take at bare minimum six turns extra turns by giving the enemy knights shields and then allowing them to Bodyguard the king.
he didnt give himself six extra turns, he could have used a single turn to hit multiple knights with a single shot to eliminate their shields
he played it very poorly, not only was he wasting a single turn per knight shield, but he was also burning turns in order to get right up next to them in order to shoot their shield
also the amount of turns he made unnecessarily moving further away from his target(s) when he could have just moved to an adjacent, equally close space certainly didnt help and had me shouting at my monitor
24:33 the Queen can't put you in check here because of the ability that makes enemy pieces not be able to come within one square of the King.
he completely forgot about that card after he got it it seems
I like how Jon avoids being put in check, as if THAT was the lose condition! Admittedly, it is, by definition, one step away FROM defeat, but it still isn't the same thing!
He’s thinking TWO moves ahead
if you end your turn in check you've lost
@@Xenotric Yes. But he was worrying about how he would START his NEXT turn. For example, he would choose to move instead of taking a shot, because if he didn't a knight could put him INTO check.
Thing is, if he DIDN'T move, and WAS put into check, he could then MOVE OUT OF CHECK.
It's not even a case of "well, if I get checked here, I might not be able to get out of it!" He just refused to let the opposing pieces put him into check in the first place!
At first blush this may not seem like a big deal, but each unneeded move is a shot not taken. And those missed shots add up, ESPECIALLY if you could have killed (or severely wounded) something, opening up more options for the turn when you are ACTUALLY IN CHECK.
When you're action economy is you're biggest advantage (yes, that includes the shotgun, this is subjective), then wasting a move for any reason just niggles at me.
...Also, kittens. No reason. They are just adorable.
@@Msatthew Yes, I agree, very good point.
(I´ll let people guess what point exactly I mean.)
@@johnyshadow both, obviously.
"folly shields, protects you from your suicidal instincts" You know the person that made this game has a sense of humor.
Just over 5 minutes in and this seems like a *really* interesting game 👀
And it's less than a fiver too... I need to remember to pick this up.
Edit: I love the system requirements, by the way XD
"Processor: yes, you should have one
Graphics: you'll need a screen
Sound Card: if your computer can play sound, you should be good
Additional notes: in theory, if your computer can run Windows, it can run Shotgun King
Reminds me of the system requirements listed for the Undertale OST (not the game itself), whose minimum specs are absurdly low while the recommended specs are things like "graphics card so good it turns music into 3d images somehow" and the like.
So, I never played this, but I watched another tuber play it through to the final of the hard modes. Some hints if you wish to continue (And haven't learned them yet) If you can kill a piece that has you in check at that moment you shoot, you don't lose. You will if it doesn't die but if it does it can't checkmate you. And you can look at the cards at any time. Also use the souls liberally, like candy. As long as you have other non-pawn pieces, they're expendable, and lifesaving. The final hint I have to say that I noticed is DON'T PANIC! Or do if it helps you focus. Scratch that, just focus and look at board state. And actually, the last hint is to always have fun! Honestly, you're one of the best tubers I see on the platform.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Jon was an egg box, not a spud!?!
I play so much chess I actually started screaming at the screen. You've got me all fired up John. I was having a good day man!
This is how Jon sells games
im also screaming at the screen
Its like how those bad mobile game adds work
Now you're having a great day!
Jon's -1 perception is even more pronounced in puzzle games like this
Are we learning from games like this and Dorfromantik that -1 perception is actually -1 patience?
They finally released chess 2!
Not only that, but they buffed the king as well!
People have done that before
Did Jon forget he could take pieces by landing on their square?
Until I read this comment I forgot it too.
You can in this game?
i was wondering if that was actually allowed. now that i know you can... that makes this whole thing just that much more painful.
This was the winner of Ludum Dare 50 (1-4 April, 2022) and was made in just 72 hours. The theme was "delay the inevitable".
72 hours? That's damn impressive.
Love the theme of this video! Recently tried some old SNES games, including Chessmaster, which is good but beatable (roughly 2000 Elo, i.e. a decent chess player). And then while digging through my old video-games collection found that I'd actually bought Chessmaster 11th Edition (for 50 eurocents!) which was handily beating grandmasters by that time. I can highly recommend both as a way of seeing how a computer develops over time to achieve great things at such a beloved and universal game.
Fun fact: "Into the Breach" (by the makers of FTL and featured on this channel) is a chess game in disguise. Just count the squares on the board!
Magnus Carlsen would definitely destroy this game.
I would love to see him play this
I was just thinking I want to see Levy try this.
hikaru would be pretty fun too.
Alternate game title: Hail to the King to Pawn four.
This could work at tournaments outside the main competition; one side full, the other side just a king that can shoot in any direction, but needs to be double-checked to lose.
Chess and shotguns, my two favourite things!
Ohh...I thought you said Shoguns, and was expecting Chess with Japanese warriors 😫
almost as fun as chessboxing
It's even the title...why can I not read!!
classic jon gameplay! take a perk, instantly forget about said perk for the rest of the game!
Jon has a very poor understanding of shields if he thought it sounded perfectly reasonable that they somehow magically heal their wielder *after* they've been damaged.
I like how he will analyze everything out loud like it's a you only live once run.
I was mentally rolling a perception check when that pawn got turned into a knight. xD
This would make for a really good claire vs jon stream series like dorf romantic
He's going to call a rook a castle for the entire video, isn't he? This is going to be difficult viewing.
are you talking about the tower thingy
At least he isn't calling the bishop a rook as well...
@@forthexp8649 THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO DO THAT?!?
Horsey takes King Prawn…
surprised he isn't calling the pawns 'peasants'. ;)
Finished the demo of this some months ago. The final boss is cool.
Greetings from Texas! My mom turns 71 today and would love a happy birthday from across the pond!
Happy birthday to your lovely mom friend!
Happy Birthday Steven's Mom.
I never understood you guys yelling at your screen until this fucking video. God, i love you jon. This is hilarious
perfect game for somebody with -1 perception...
Does he ever remember he has the move protection lol
I thought he would figure it out when the jittering pawns failed to step forward several turns in a row. Nooooope! Closest I got there was a long silence!
This game has modding support.
What’s with the rook-ie pun in the video title? Did you spend all knight thinking that one up, or did you find it in a pawn-shop? (I’m kidding, I love your video title’s, your the best video game pun-dit).
This was way more tense than I expected it would be!
kings shoulders is actually really good. You can use it to pick up a piece next to you (even if the piece has you in check) and then throw that piece at another piece to dmage them from long range.
20:00 Jon forgetting he got a perk that makes it so pawns cannot move near him
Of any pieces. Like the queen, that 'mysteriously' doesn't put him in check.
Jon moment
"Hail to the king, baby!"
Jon has ascended to his final form.
I love watching you playing this kind of games!
I think it's safe to say Jon has a pawn addiction.
This game is delightful
25:27 is definitely a perception 1 moment
Jon acknowleges farmers are the smart ones cos we have shotguns "Sips sports direct mug of tea"
This reminds me of a game called Hoplite. It's a small simple game but very fun.
CC Subs: "Good afternoon lace jumping i´m john this is mania trudeau"
Those knight shields are so OP
Ah yes, a combination as old as time
This is a pretty interesting concept. I wonder how serious chess players feel about it.
When Jon said on stream that he had an upcoming video on a chess game with a twist I assimed he was talking about 5D Chess With Multiverse Time Travel, but this was interesting too.
What a bizarre idea, love it.
Chess meets the top-down shooter! I love it.
Just thought I'd mention that I haven't been getting your vids in my sub feed for like a whole week until this vid just came up. Thought you were gone or something for a while. Bloody RUclips.
well im sold, thanks jon
this game looks liek tons of fun! i might grabt it myself
It doesn't matter who goes first, nobody can match her perfected creativity. Tonight's Chess Night Action:
Black Queen Katana
"Always outnumbered.. Never outgunned."
Jon...I love you and your channel, but this is the most I've ever shouted at my computer screen while you've played a game objecting to your choices. (this game looks amazing).
First Card Shark, now this.
What next Jon, how to rig Backgammon?
This is amazing thank you for showing this to us Jon
It’s not a cocking castle, Jon! The rook is at best a siege tower, and I think was supposed to be a Persian chariot. 😆
Every game a tragedy for one side.
I'm going to assume that the shotgun in this game has intricate baroque ornamentation throughout and the phrase "ultima ratio regum" engraved somewhere on it(in ornate script, and gilded, naturally); and the low-fi art style just makes it too small for me to see.
As a former chess player, I am insanely intrigued by this
jon's lack of knowledge and understanding about chess made this so painful....
I am imagining a chess world where only the king existing on the black side. However he is smart enough to equip a shotgun for his lack of citizens. He also managed to learn the art of soul stealing, hence your ability to use them to gain its movement.
His arch rivals, the whites, wants to dethrone him since he is the only one in the black kingdom. Hence a mighty battle between the whites and the solo black breaks loose.
But the real question is: what happened to the black kingdom?
you can "pass" and reload by clicking the shotgun.
Yes
Is this the same devs as FTL and Into The Breach
they did it... they made chess 2!
Shotgun + Chess so you can make Chess better.
Finally. Chess 2.0
That's super clever!
I bought this a month ago and it's so good!
Hay Jon, can you use the SOULS to take the enemy king?
Chess. Idiot shields. Shotgun.
The game was made for Jon.
That red and white flickering makes this unwatchable for me. I'm not epileptic but I feel like this game needs a warning.
fucking finally
Day 742 of requesting Zoo Tycoon. I honestly would love it if the American exchange students at Hogwarts rocked up to a game of Wizard Chess with a shotgun piece.
I'd love to see Jon play real chess and get destroyed by 500 rated players
it would be pretty hilarious. i'm pretty sure i could beat him pretty easily if this is any kind of indication.
@@Darthtanos we watch him for his commentary, and listening to him justify bad moves would be hilarious lol
Way better than Wizard's Chess!
Excuse me JON I can say fairer than that, You can't say Fizzy.
howdy jon
First
shot gun chess sone one has to much time on their hands
First
No you’re not,
And don’t like your own comments.
