Prisoners Chess
You know how the pieces move. You don't know how they die. A chess roguelike where every piece bleeds. Level them, perk them or lose them forever. Take the enemy King's head, or bleed their army dry. One path saves you. One damns you. Hell keeps score.
Your like matters. Every heart nudges this game's GamingPickz Score and where it ranks (a small 5% of the score), so the lists get better for everyone.

Where Prisoners Chess sits on the grid
The grid places every game in the catalogue on measured axes rather than on an opinion. This is where Prisoners Chess lands on each map it has the data for, with the share of the catalogue it beats on each axis.
- Year
- 100ahead of 77% of the catalogue
- Reach
- 0ahead of 0% of the catalogue
Percentiles are against the games that carry a reading on that axis, not the whole catalogue: counting a game with no figure as a zero would flatter everything that has one. How the grid works.
What readers say about Prisoners Chess
Reviews written by people who have played it. These are separate from the GamingPickz Score and are never averaged into it: that score comes from thousands of Steam reviews with a sample-size correction, and a handful of unverified ratings would distort it rather than improve it.
