A strange chess roguelike "Gambonanza" burst into Steam - sales exceeded 100 thousand copies
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
Gambonanza unexpectedly became another Steam hit. The unusual roguelike game with chess elements sold over 100 thousand copies in just eight days.
This is a variation of chess that can be as addictive as the card blockbuster Balatro, which proved that simple mechanics can be engaging and attract masses of players.
Gambonanza was created by a solo developer. Currently, the project holds 77% positive reviews based on almost 800 ratings, and the peak online reached approximately 2150 people.
Additionally, the low price helped the game — until May 15, the game is sold at a 35% discount for 298 rubles.
The developer commented on the project's success:
100,000 copies sold on Steam in 8 days. This is absolutely unreal for me! Thank you all for the love, chaos, streams, and support. It means a lot to me to see how many people enjoy this strange little chess roguelike.
