Update Version 1.4
See patch notes in-game for more information.
Four Kings One War is a 1 or 2 player strategy game inspired by chess. Each player controls two armies as though they were one and get's two moves per turn. This opens up guerrilla style tactics and hidden attacks. This is strategy for the modern mind, outside the 64th square. When people think of strategy, the game that regularly comes to mind is Chess. Developed over 1,400 years ago, this classic strategy game, beloved by millions, hasn’t evolved much since it was first conceived. Until now. Four Kings One War is a strategy game designed to suit the modern mind. We believe that just as military strategy has become more complex and strategic over the years, so too should the strategy games we enjoy. We no longer stand face to face in the field of battle. Instead we look for blind-side manoeuvres and guerrilla-styled tactics to baffle our opponents. This is the promise of Four Kings One War. If you think you are a strategist then take the challenge and put it to the test.

A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.
