Chessarama

The Puzzles are fun but there are too many bugs in its current state and feels like it's half finished. Major problems: The game freezes and crashes a fair amount. The weekly challenge achievement is broken. Even when you do the challenge is doesn't complete unlock. The Collection Display is broken. Only showing 3/4 chess sets and Trophies is stuck at 0/0 despite unlocking all but the broken weekly challenge one. Minor: The Dragon Slayers Campaign is tedious having to watch an unskippable (same) animation after every move. There is no undo button (even in the puzzles) so if you make a mistake you have to reset the challenge from the start which is frustrating.

no back button. in a game with long puzzle levels and complex rules.

I thought I'd leave a review before I'd explored all of the game because this game is currently in the Chess Humble Bundle. Most of the puzzles have been pretty easy and variations of things you've seen before. But I think Soccer Chess is an excellent idea and worth the price of admission. Your chess pieces are used to pass a ball back and forth and try to score in your opponent's goal. It works :)

[h1]Описание:[/h1] Шахматообразная игра с разными крутыми режимами. В каждом режиме свои правила и задания на звезды. В фермере нужно конями пропрыгать по всем полям не возвращаясь назад, в футболе выдать пасы мячом по всем фигурам, чтобы от хода последней мяч залетел в ворота (мой любимый режим). В самурае королевой бить фигуры, но при этом и мы и нас могут бить только с 1 угла и еще там режим с ведьмой и драконом, челенджи по всем режимам... Короче тут раздолье для мозга и лучшая игра разраба к которой он очень долго шел, выпуская всевозможные шахматные игры.

I own most of Minimol's chess titles. Those very inexpensive mini-games were generally well thought-out, interesting and fun for the price, and some of them are actually far from "mini" in terms of content. If you're wondering if this game is for you, you can try one of those for a couple of bucks to get a taste for their games. Chessarama is a much more ambitious title for the studio, which wraps a lot of these types of puzzles together into a more complete package with a new level of professionalism and visual design. Anyone can have fun with these, but I think it's particularly appropriate for younger players, as a lot of the puzzles are on the easier side, and the look is cute and toy-like. Thankfully though, they've extended their formula to other more substantial modes (Battles) that expand on the puzzle themes to create what are essentially unique chess variants, and these provide more of a challenge, against AI opponents with various difficulty settings. They've also thrown in a standard chess mode for good measure, where you can play with all the thematic boards and pieces you've unlocked (NB: it's not obvious, since chess matches have the appearance of multiplayer matchmaking, but this is a purely single-player experience; it is actually matching you with a bot, and its level is adjusted based on your W/L record; so if you want a challenging game you may have to grind for a while first). There is a lot here and I haven't even unlocked all the modes (including daily/weekly challenges) yet. I'm expecting great things from this studio in the future, and I hope Minimol continues adding to their chess catalog with something aimed at more adult/advanced players for their next project, but this will keep me busy for a while.

国际象棋游戏，包含了三种模式，解谜，特殊模式和对局。 解谜我非常喜欢，设计得很不错，就是有个别地方太难，比如田园生活篇最后一个挑战让我足足花了四个多小时边想边试才解出来，到最后做完全部解谜还是感觉挺有成就感。 特殊模式也还行，只是开局有随机性，而且电脑不太聪明，达成挑战不怎么难。 对局就是正常下一盘棋，几乎肯定匹配不到玩家，都是和电脑下，电脑棋力一般、时高时低。 最后要做完全成就还是需要运气，因为全成就里的每日挑战和每周挑战经常会出现一些几乎不可能完成的任务，比如对局不动马就赢，只吃兵就赢之类的。每日挑战还好一些，今天不行就等明天，每周挑战不行的话就要等一周。我还算运气不错，有一周遇到的是在剩余时间超过一半的情况下赢对局5次，虽然难了点但还是可以完成的。补充一句，有个隐藏成就在解谜田园生活篇第14关。 总的来说，解谜部分很好，尤其适合会下国际象棋的人，全成就有点折磨。

☆ 遊戲沒有撤回功能！！ 共4個主題，每個主題22-32關。都是前期好玩，但後面難度突然暴升體驗非常差，如你想達成某些遊戲挑戰，不查攻略跟本玩不下去。舉例來說，風華浪人篇第32關，官方給出的答案是要走整整的163步才過關。最要命的是，這遊戲完全沒有撤回上一步的功能，只要你163步走錯了一下你就很大機會要重新來過，這是完全不可接受的，一個棋類遊戲怎麼可以沒有撤回功能？ 因為撤回功能的缺失，加上有大量bug一直擺爛不修復(畫面品質只能開最低、關卡間歇性沒回應、足球主題棋子收藏消失etc)，就算遊戲本來的想法很好也無補於事，只能給差評。

[h1] Mehr Rätsel als Schach [/h1] Chessarama ist im Grunde ein Rätselspiel, auch wenn es thematisch an Schach erinnert. Tatsächlich hat das Gameplay nur wenig mit klassischem Schach zu tun. Das Spiel ist in mehrere große Kapitel unterteilt, und in jedem Kapitel wird hauptsächlich eine bestimmte Schachfigur verwendet. In den normalen Leveln braucht man kaum Schachwissen, sondern eher logisches Denken. In den zusätzlichen Herausforderungen außerhalb der Level ist dagegen deutlich mehr Wissen über Schach notwendig. Trotzdem habe ich aus dem Spiel viele neue Ideen und Inspirationen gewonnen. Inhaltlich sollte Chessarama eher als Puzzle-Spiel und nicht als Schachspiel eingeordnet werden. Ein kleiner Vorschlag an die Entwickler: Es wäre hilfreich, wenn nach einer gewissen Zeit im Level optionale Hinweise eingeblendet würden.

The game is alright in theory, but too buggy. As a puzzle enthusiast, the puzzles are interesting, but not particularly challenging. The collection section has three tabs, and all seem bugged. The first shows pieces you have unlocked, which you do by beating levels and challenges. However, it says there's 21 total pieces, but only shows 18, and in theory there should be at least 24. There's supposed to be 4 sets of chess pieces, but only 3 are shown. And you can't do anything with these pieces, they're just static photos that have a weird rarity rating, tells you the pieces movement type, and when it was made? The next tab is for chess sets, I don't know what it's for, as I haven't played the battle mode much, which you have to do to unlock them, but it also only has 3 sets. Then there's trophies, but it just says 0/0. As others have pointed out, there is no undo feature, you simply have to reset the entire level if you mess up. There's a codex, but every time I tried to interact with it during a level, the game partially froze, no longer accepting inputs for anything, but the music and background animations continued. I've also experienced this partial freeze mid-movement, with my piece stuck mid-animation. There's also an online PvP feature, but that doesn't interest me, personally. And for some strange reason there are daily and weekly challenges and a "title" system that you go up by completing levels, battles, and I assume matches.
