It took 2,000 years for someone to make chess better! The most challenging game on earth comes to life in Battle Chess. An entire medieval world at war is reflected on the checkered field. Everyone who's ever had a knight take a pawn has seen that capture as more than one piece replacing another on the board.

I like the game. It is cool. But it is extremely broken and buggy. It crashes on most of my computers and it has severe texture problems. I like it, but I also can't recommend it due to how broken it is.
The game constantly crashes and they won't offer a refund for this game
game keep crashing and the models would randomly turn black. not worth it
Things are far better now
It will Crash to desktop and in most games the game skins will go to all black what makes it hard to keep track of your side
Jeux d'échec amusant mais... Entre les bugs de texture qui rend tes perso noir d'encre et les crashs inopiné en pleine partie je préfère me le faire rembourser avant de ne pas pouvoir le faire. Si plus tard les devs décident d'être sérieux je reconsidérais de l'acheter, malheureusement j'ai l'impression que c'est encore un de ces enfants dont les parents ont abandonné la garde, dommage.
Awesome
it really hurts that I have to give this review because I really wanted to like it. However, it is just not there. While I did find some of the game play enjoyable. for instance, the AI is definitely no rookie. The game simply does not operate like normal chess. The king can move multiple spaces, something I never saw before in a game. There is virtually no multi-player (dead community) Plus the animations are more annoying then fun since they are repetitive and take up your time. While I praise the developers for upgrading the graphics from its 1988 original, there is simply no excuse for leaving it a buggy mess with barley entry level AI in 2024 and pricing it has high as 30$ this game would be acceptable at a 15$ or less. Hard pass and refund.
best chess i ever played
This would be a decent chess game if it didn't crash so much. The game does many things very well, especially the graphics and battle animations. The chess engine is OK though not the best. I managed to get decent positions a few times on the highest difficulty level before it crashed or I gave up due to how long the AI takes to move. I wonder if it would have been better to just plug Stockfish into the game instead of creating a custom engine. Play Magnus on my iPod touch is stronger and faster than this game. If you want to play some Chess, the best option is probably the completely free Lichess website.
