[stiff scarab]

Hello everyone, and thank you to Thunk and the mod team for giving us the chance to show our game here!

Usurper is a roguelike tactics game that answers the question "What if Chess was a deckbuilder?" Play cards from your deck to drop units onto the board and checkmate your opponent. Build your Deck, Upgrade your Ruler, and Claim the Throne!

Features:
- Unique chess-inspired tactics gameplay
- 4 distinct factions with over 40 cards to play with
- Roguelike campaign with more than 10 unique bosses to defeat
- 8 starting decks and 10 difficulty levels
- Local and Online Multiplayer

Usurper is out now, and we also have a public demo where you can try out 2 of the 4 playable Factions!

Please check out the game if you like chess, deckbuilders, or if you just like new twists on classic games!
