About

Chess of Mana is chess like you’ve never seen before, a magical battlefield where capturing a piece isn’t the end… it’s just the beginning.
In this vibrant fantasy world, Celts and Orcs clash in strategic duels powered by a magical resource called Mana. With it, you can revive fallen pieces and turn the tide of battle in unexpected ways.
Forget the fear of making bold moves and losing your pieces! In Chess of Mana, every move can trigger a comeback, and every fallen unit has the potential to return to the fight. Here, the King is more than just a target, he is the source of all Mana power.


A brand-new way to play chess where pieces can return to the battlefield!
Mana Chess redefines traditional strategy and introduces entirely new tactical playstyles. The ability to revive captured pieces creates a fresh dynamic that has even experienced chess players rethinking their approach.


Prefer a more traditional experience? You can play Classic Chess too!
Enjoy standard chess gameplay enhanced by Chess of Mana’s charming pixel art visuals and epic soundtrack. Let’s be honest, it’s way more fun watching characters sprint across the board and clash in battle during every capture.


Chess of Mana features a unique artistic direction and expressive animations that transform the board into a true battlefield.
Every capture feels satisfying and impactful. Just wait until you see the Queen’s magical powers in action, it’s seriously awesome.


In war, the battlefield is always someone’s homeland.
That’s why Chess of Mana features themed boards that create unique battle atmospheres for each match. We put a lot of love into the pixel art, and it truly stands out as one of the game’s visual highlights.

Jogo bem maneiro e leve, gráficos bonitos, basicamente é um jogo de xadrez que tem um modo com temática diferente, a parte de usar mana na gameplay, bem divertido, vale a pena.
Decent rendition of chess, feels inspired by Battle Chess from the DOS days. Pawns (at least for Celts) have an animation that indicate if they are being pressured. Pixel art is pretty good. Game seems to run smoothly. However, there are some pretty glaring bugs that we've ran into: -Multiplayer mode and Timed Chess are currently non-functioning in game. -Mana mode doesn't really supply a huge change to the game. It might be fun to see a few more options as far as spells go, currently it seems like you can only revive a captured piece. -Inviting friends to a game is finicky, sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't do anything. Once dropped both of us into a game that didn't connect to the other player. -We ran into one synchronization error where opponent promoted pawn to Queen, but on my end, the pawn was promoted to a rook. Opponents following move was impossible to make for a rook, and never registered on my end. -AI seems a little simplistic and easy to beat. -If you aren't playing white (Celts), pieces are not on your side of the board. -No way to rotate board. -There doesn't seem to be a log of the notation anywhere. Would love to see the following improvements (in addition to bug fixes): -A few more variations of chess. -A few other factions to use as sets -A few more options for using mana -----maybe being able to "push/nudge" an opponents piece, your own piece, ect. -----Each piece (other than pawns) could even have their own spells/abilities Currently, I'd five this game a 6/10. I think its functional if you're willing to overlook some bugs.
Yes and no. Sprites are nice but completely lacking in other areas. https://youtu.be/Yhp1JZpyF-o
É jogo divertido até para quem acha xadrez muito básico, e também tem modo classico para quem não gosta de coisas diferentonas. Jogo tem uma arte linda que faz querer jogar mais e mais dele
Gostei muito de jogar, tem como jogar como o xadrez clássico. mas jogar o modo de mana muda de mais, vale a pena ver essa releitura e pensar em novas estratégias usando esse novo recurso. gostei muito dos personagem que tem e espero que em breve tenhamos mais opções para jogar :)
Chess of Mana ist ein Schach-Ableger in einer durchweg gelungenen 8-bit-Fantasy Grafik. Der Soundtack ist eher simpel, aber gut komponiert und hat einen anspornenden Beat. Man kann sowohl nach den klassischen Regeln spielen als auch einen modernen Twist ins Spiel bringen: Der König kann in einem bestimmten Umkreis um sich herum geschlagene Figuren per Mana-Magie wieder beleben. Also Vorsicht, sonst kommen des Gegners Springer, Turm, Dame und Läufer wieder!
OMG the soundtrack is just AMAZING!!!
