Rooks Keep

Overview

Deathmatch. AI & Multiplayer. Chess. Decapitation.

Descend into a brutal tournament where factions of sinister knights and grotesque beasts battle for domination in bloody arena matches and furious melee brawls. Crush opponents with hammers and shields, rend flesh with razor sharp claws and slice off heads with swords and axes.

Game Modes

In Rooks Keep, players will maim their competitors in a selection of deathmatch-arena game-modes such as Deathmatch, Team-Deathmatch, Conversion, Chess, Last-Man-Standing and Combat Chess. Play solo, jump into multiplayer matches, or add AI opponents to squash under-foot in both single and multiplayer. We even support 3rd party Chess engines.

Melee Combat

The focus of Rooks Keep is on the fantasy melee combat system, featuring quick and heavy attacks, parrying, blocking, dodging and special abilities and skills.

Chess Modes

Players can play in both Classic Chess and the unusual Combat Chess mode, where players have the opportunity to fight to retain their place on the board if attacked.

Play Options

Rooks Keep presents players with single-player against AI bots, LAN and online multiplayer. Also supported are 3rd party Chess engines and hot-seat Chess.

Modding

Built on the Unreal Development Kit, Rooks Keep offers extensive mod support. Players will be able to use the included UnrealEd tool to build their own maps and mods.
