Description

This is WR in the admittedly niche category of "Iron King, Any Gun" where you have to play with no folly shields. I got a pretty lucky setup that could assassinate the king without fighting much else, and that had enough firepower to kill the boss, it's not quite as fast as a choked PB but I'm satisfied. Good thing I had Black Mist to save me from the one otherwise fatal mistake I made, or this also would have been a choked PB. The gun I used in this run, the Victoria, seems by far the best just for its starting firepower, 5 can one-shot any non-king piece that gets adjacent to you (on Rank 1 difficulty), which queens and rooks often do.

Shotgun King is a really fun roguelike chess game, I thought the powers and balancing of them were all really well done. The achievements kinda suck, though, winning with arbitrary sets of 3 cards is a RNG grindfest as you can go several runs without seeing a set. At least trying to quickly reset runs to maximize chances at sets got me faster at playing the game, so was kinda speedrun practice.
