ChessLocke

rly cool but a bit easy. guess it's meant for people that are about 1200 rated in chess max (for the hard mode). which is cool with me. very accessible.

An extremely strategic version of chess which puts a new spin on things. A bit of skill is involved, as well as picking the right strategy of upgrading to clear all the levels. Cons- (atm) Not enough for single player Will be excited to see what is pushed out during the multiplayer phase Players who are already strong at chess should be able to clear everything without an issue, but even beginners at chess will be able to enjoy this new "chess" variant!

Simple yet intriguing game with ways to cheese the AI while also find ways for the AI to screw you! The game gives Chess a whole new way to play, giving a bit of a puzzle rpg vibe when going through missions and dungeons. The Ai is far from flawless as it makes some questionable decisions sometimes, but overall the challenge remains there. I wish we could get more dungeons or maybe an AI hard mode after beatign everything to trult challenge ourselves. Well worth the 5 bucks or 99 cents when it goes on sale.

This game is a really fun way to challenge your brain. I've seen some people complain about the difficulty, but if it easy, is it fun? rating: 9/10 (only thing I would change is that we are told that the enemy can use the special abilities as well, other than that 10/10 would play again) If you enjoy chess but want a fun twist, try this game out, worth it even at full price.

ChessLocke is an incredibly fun and addictive game that I would 100% recommend. If you like chess or rpg's or just are looking for a way to pass the time, ChessLocke is for you! An easy way to spend countless hours on and to hone your skills! Play with others or the 100 stages in campaign, a challenging yet exciting game! The community is really nice and supportive and so is the dev! Great artwork and music, a great deal totally worth buying!

Ich bin weiß Gott kein Schachspieler der alten Stunde und definitiv kein Stratege.. Aber ChessLocke ist schon was besonderes. Wer etwas braucht um seinen Denkapparat zu stimulieren, ist hier jedenfalls goldrichtig! Macht Spaß, macht süchtig lässt die Zeit viel zu schnell verstreichen, ist aber ne willkommene Abwechslung zum Alltag - und zu den sonstigen Spielen in meiner Sammlung ;)

I'm an experienced chess player and wasn't expecting much at first. But the game turned out to be quite fun! Played for 2 hours non-stop. In each mission, the starting positions of pieces on the board are different. But the goal is the same: Land a piece on your opponent's throne without it being captured for 1 turn to win. Checks and checkmates don't apply, so the king can be sacrificed too. The pieces move as per normal, but you can decide whether to use a special ability during each turn. Note that special abilities are limited during each mission, so use wisely! Special abilities can be upgraded by gaining XP through capturing enemy pieces. However, I think this mechanic is also a drawback when sometimes it's much faster to end the mission by landing on the opponent's throne than to capture all enemy pieces. Perhaps, the developer can also factor the number of moves into the XP gain. Nonetheless, the game is balanced and fully playable as the difficulty progresses gradually. If you are a fan of chess variants and unconventional tactical puzzles, this one's worth it (especially when it's on sale)!

Honestly an amazing game
