Build An Army And Battle The Darkness In Moonlight Chess
We're not entirely sure why it's called Moonlight Chess, but we do know that saving a kingdom from orcs, undead and demons sounds like a rather different sort of evening at the board.
Moonlight Chess
Released Nov 13, 2025
Moonlight Chess is an indie strategy-adventure game where players build armies to defend a kingdom against orcs, undead, and demons. Released in November 2025 on PC, the game combines tactical combat with what appears to be a darker fantasy campaign despite its chess-themed title.
Coverage remains limited since launch, with early impressions noting the disconnect between the game's name and its action-oriented premise. The core appeal seems to center on army-building mechanics and strategic battles against supernatural threats, though deeper details about how these systems actually function remain sparse in available reporting.
