Rooks Keep is a fantasy deathmatch game by RuneStorm that is self-described as “[Unreal Tournament] with swords”. That is surprisingly accurate, as the entire focus of the game is to take down your foes for the glory of standing atop of the leaderboard.

Rooks Keep is an interesting mishmash of things that come together in what appears to be a promising title in its Early Access stages. The game itself is themed around medieval fantasy and chess, but it brings a great deal more to the table. There are some rough edges here that still need polishing, but if the team at RuneStorm can stay the course and take some early feedback to heart, Rooks Keep could prove to be a pleasant surprise when it finally releases.

Rook's Keep is a game of chess if it were run through the Unreal engine and bishops could shoot blue light at their enemies. Simple controls, requires strategy.
