Cat Chess

It’s a fun game, but there’s just one thing holding it back: there’s no time control in online mode, which means that, quite simply, your opponent doesn’t make a move in a position where the programme has calculated the best course of action, and you end up having to quit because it’s impossible to win. If this were fixed, it would be perfect; as it stands, playing online is practically impossible.

I mostly got the game in hopes of some sort of campaign and ofc there is one. Reality of it is its just 10 games with increasing difficulty which sits somewhere between 0-1000 it doesnt get much higher so its accessible for all players of all levels. Problem is after that there is really nothing more to do its simply a choose a rating and play chess game thats about it. Ofc I gave it positive because it doesnt claim to be anything else and is a fairly decent price for what it is. For me personally I'd like to see more PvE options. For example something simple would be have a PvE where your rating starts at 100 and progresses the each time you win adding a sense of progress where you can see yourself improve and see where you stand. Rather than a simple "pick a rating and play" sort of thing. It seems like something small but I personally thing it matters as games without progression in some why feels a bit pointless. (This is from a gaming point of view, specifically for people who dont want to play PvP). Now ill ramble. How about a mode where you have to conquer the cats taking over your territory. There can be multiple areas where you have to challenge other cats to regain the area. It can show the rating of that area so you know if you can and cant beat it personally. Each victory leads to winning the area and money. The money can be used to buy hints in games to help players find answers they havent seen, or move roll backs, force opponent to blunder, remove piece from opponents starting pieces. This means players can farm lower levels they feel more comfortable in and use the gold to help them overcome the harder obstacles until they win. It can also be accessible to any level while also having higher rated opponents for more skilled players looking for a more challenging PvE experience. Also AI could use some work. From my experience in the campaign all levels the AI felt like pushing the outer pawns right up to the other side until I did something for it to actively react to. Idk what the actual rating is for the last couple levels but I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt and assuming its below 1000 rather than broken or silly AI. Idk if others have had the same experience it might be something I personally caused. Also if you are looking for a fun quirky Chess game to put hours into, just take a look at all the reviews play time and reconsider for the time being. If you're in it for the cats then go for it. The game needs work but low price so I wont complain, there are infact cats. Clicking the king cats brings me alot of joy.

Nice game and all it's cats and chess. But that's honestly all it is. Not really worth getting the deluxe edition. Normal game is probably worth 3 bucks it's a little expensive.

최적화 아쉽고 시스템상으로도 부족한 점이 많음. 애들 귀엽긴한데 그것도 초회차때나 그렇지 갈수록 무뎌짐. 캠페인은 퀄리티가 조악하고 온라인은 시간 제한이 없으니 기약없는 기다림만 있어야하고 한 눈에 얘가 비숍인지 나이트인지 퀸인지 뭔지 제대로 들어오지도 않고 여러모로 좀 아쉬운 작품임.

Garbage AI. You cant win. I get a checkmate on the king and it gave me "Draw by stalemate" even though i wouldve won and the king couldnt make any move without loosing, wtf is that??? Refunded. Do better. *edit* this was on the first level of the "campaign" btw which is a joke cause theres no story, click it and you just start a chess match theres 0 story.

Love this game, but I tried to play campaign and it would not let me proceed after winning the first match. what am I missing?

Si vous aimez les échecs, les chats… ou simplement les jeux qui savent rendre un classique plus amusant, Cat Chess est une excellente surprise. Le jeu conserve toutes les règles du jeu d'échecs traditionnel, mais remplace l'ambiance parfois austère par une direction artistique adorable et pleine de personnalité. Chaque pièce est un chat avec ses propres animations, les captures sont remplies de petites interactions amusantes, et l'ensemble dégage une ambiance légère qui donne envie d'enchaîner les parties. Ce qui m'a particulièrement plu, c'est qu'il s'adresse autant aux joueurs expérimentés qu'aux débutants. Les amateurs d'échecs y retrouvent un vrai jeu stratégique, tandis que les nouveaux venus profitent d'une présentation beaucoup plus accueillante et moins intimidante. C'est le genre de jeu qui donne envie d'apprendre ou de redécouvrir les échecs sans pression, juste pour le plaisir. En résumé, Cat Chess prouve qu'un simple changement d'ambiance peut rendre un classique encore plus attachant. C'est mignon, drôle, relaxant et suffisamment fidèle aux échecs pour satisfaire les puristes tout en restant accessible aux joueurs occasionnels. Un excellent choix pour passer un bon moment, que vous soyez un passionné d'échecs ou simplement à la recherche d'un jeu fun et convivial.

И схлестнулись два котмейстера, и смахнули пыль с мозговых извилин, и потыкали палкой нейронные связи, и зарубились в котошахматы под классическую музыку 😎 Вы такой экшен ни в одной экшен-игре не увидите, говорю вам 🥰 Очень рада, что шахматы возвращаются в фокус игроков, особенно с таким запрещённым приёмом, как милые котики :3 Активно популяризирую шахматы вместе с разрабами: https://youtu.be/c1xD7xmb5_E?is=CqmZ40f_PS7dgT48

Game feels underwhelming. It's not a cat twist, it is just a cat themed visuals. And it would be enough, but animations are not that creative or funny, and there is very little variety. Not all cats play with toys. No original music. It is more like a demo.

The Ai is some of the worst made Ai i have ever witnessed. The campaign alone has the bot throw good pieces to remove a pawn while putting that piece in danger of being removed my next turn. Ai in chess is supposed to have some intelligence. But unfortunatly all we got was an Ai that needs to wear waterwings just to eat soup. Speaking of the campaign, its way too short with only 10 levels. After that you are stuck with PVE, PVP, PVP Online. Well PVP Online is already dead, PVP requires friends and i dont dare recommend a game that is nearly $10 and gives you nothing in return, while PVE is nothing more than the campaign with a difficulty choice. The animations were cute at first but got old real quick. I found myself skipping every single one since it took longer for the animation to finish. I really wanted to like this game since its chess and cats. But for me to recommend this to others would be a waste of their money and time.
