Mateforge
Chess Roguelike Deckbuilder
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New update: 15 new cards, brutal Ascension difficulty tiers, fresh relics and boss powers, plus a How to Play guide for newcomers.
Mateforge is a single-player chess roguelike deckbuilder. Command an army of chess pieces, cast powerful spell cards, and survive an ever-collapsing board across an endless run of battles.
Each round the board crumbles beneath you — capture every enemy before it does. Between fights, draft upgrades, recruit and merge pieces, forge your deck, and grow stronger for the boss waiting ahead.
FEATURES
- Chess meets roguelike — pieces move by real chess rules, but the board falls apart every turn
- Build your deck — craft custom decks from 29 spell cards: lightning, meteors, freezes, teleports and more
- Evolve your pieces — defeat bosses to permanently evolve your army through 3 tiers of power
- Merge & recruit — fuse pieces into stronger ones and expand your squad
- Boss battles — face bosses with shields, swift moves and spawning, scaling in difficulty
- Daily challenge — a new rule-bending mutator every day
- Meta progression — earn shards and unlock permanent perks that carry across runs
- Endless runs — no two are ever the same
- 6 languages — English, Türkçe, Deutsch, Français, Español, Italiano
How far can you get before the board swallows you?
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Mateforge just got a lot bigger.
- 15 NEW CARDS — from cheap removal to game-ending legendaries. The pool jumps from 29 to 44.
- ASCENSION — a new difficulty ladder for endless mode. Each level stacks a tougher rule (fewer resources, faster crumble, tougher bosses). Clear a level to unlock the next. High tiers add Permanent Losses: fallen pieces don't come back for the rest of the run — your call whether to face it.
- 9 NEW RELICS — economy, tempo, defense and card draw. The relic pool goes from 6 to 15.
- 3 NEW BOSS ABILITIES — Regenerating, Cursed and Fortified bosses keep the late game dangerous.
- HOW TO PLAY — a new illustrated guide, shown automatically on first launch and always available from the menu.
Thanks for playing — good luck out there!
