Chivalware Guides

Chivalware is a tile-matching action roguelite from Regal Pigeon and The Arcade Crew / Dotemu. Its grid turns every match into more than damage: the same move can open an attack lane, charge a weapon disk, answer a shield color, or leave a knight trapped when the board closes. The Steam demo is available now, with full release listed for Q4 2026.

Chivalware guide route

Beginner

Beginner Guide

Learn the first route habit: keep a readable grid, charge one weapon plan, and avoid chasing every upgrade tag.

Grid

Grid Control Guide

Use tile matches to open attack lanes, escape lanes, and charge windows instead of filling the board with panic movement.

Shield colors

Shield Color Counter Guide

Choose matches by the attack color they create, avoid wasting the wrong color into shields, and decide when a smaller match is the safer counter.

Weapons

Weapon Disk Charging Guide

Turn weapon choices into charge jobs: quick clear, safe control, boss burst, recovery, or setup support.

Boss prep

Boss Prep Guide

Check whether the run is losing to grid clutter, late charge timing, unsafe greed, or a mismatched Disk Knight plan.

Reference

Route Reference

Match a crowded grid, late damage, boss collapse, or upgrade drift to the next route correction.

The run breaks somewhere

Find the First Bad Turn

Matching tiles, charging weapons, positioning, and attack timing all compete for the same attention. The useful clue is the first turn where the plan stops working—not the final hit that ends the run.

  1. No safe lane: clear space before building a longer weapon sequence.
  2. Wrong shield color: preserve the attack color that can actually break protection.
  3. Late weapon charge: shorten the setup or choose a disk that fits the room's pace.
  4. Boss collapses the grid: enter with an escape lane instead of spending every match on damage.
  5. Upgrades pull in different directions: keep the option that fixes the last failed turn.
