Hi everyone!

I wanted to share my first Sega MegaDrive / Genesis game with you: Monster Chess.

It’s a dark fantasy chess game where the classic rules of chess are turned into monster battles, with animated pieces, attacks, deaths, FM music, campaign mode and local multiplayer.

The game keeps the real rules of chess, including check, checkmate, stalemate, castling, en passant and promotion, but wraps everything in a gothic arcade-style presentation.

Main features:
  • Real chess rules
  • 8-level campaign
  • 20 endings
  • 4 CPU difficulty levels
  • Local 2-player mode
  • English and Spanish text
  • Animated monster battles
  • Original FM / XGM music
  • Tested on real Sega Genesis / Mega Drive hardware
The game has been tested on original MegaDrive / Genesis hardware, as well as some Chinese and Russian MD2 / MD3 clone systems. However, I can’t guarantee compatibility with every clone system. It should also run on Analogue Mega Sg.

You can watch the teaser here:



Physical pre-orders are now open through Homebrew Factory:

The campaign needs to reach 20 units for the physical release to happen, so if you like the project, your support would mean a lot.

Thanks a lot for reading, and I hope you enjoy Monster Chess!
