This is a very good puzzle game with three different modes of play. In the primary mode which sort of mixes turn based strategy and puzzles, you have a few powerful chess pieces which can all be moved on your turn and must defend against an assault of pawns which move toward you at the end of the round. This mode is beefed up with some spells you can cast, as well as a neat idea where if one of your pieces is in a threatened space and another of your pieces kills the piece threatening it, you get a bonus where one of the fast pawns get downgraded to a normal pawn. This mode also has an endless variety. While interesting, this is my least favorite of the three varieties. In the Puzzle mode, you have a particular setup and must defeat all of the pawns under a certain number of turns. I think this is the most interesting of the modes because you are encouraged to think economically, and you know right away whether you've done well or not since there is a best answer. In the third and most different mode, you have one knight who must visit every single space on a variety of unusual chess boards, these boards have a few squares with pictures of other chess pieces and if your knight lands on one of them you turn into that piece for a single turn. I think this is very intriguing, but also it is very difficult to plan out your whole tour in advance, so I tend to use a lot of trial and error and taking back moves in it. Maybe I will get better at this mode the more I play it, and like it better. There is a big negative for me, and that is the pixel graphics. I find it very hard to tell at a glance which chess piece the art represents. I often have to mouse over them. This is exacerbated by them turning gray after they've been used in a round. Even seeing at a glance whether a piece is mine or one of the pawns isn't immediate, and makes taking in the whole board difficult. I don't really know what can be done about this besides maybe making a sequel in a higher resolution. But it's worth your time and money. There aren't a lot of puzzle games that are unique and difficult. Most seem to get easier and easier. But this one has that something special.

Cool game

Gameplay couldn't keep me hooked at all

2/10

Я не знаю зачем я это купил за 33,66 рублей 15 апреля 18-го года, ведь я никогда не умел играть в шахматы, да и щас нет желания учиться! Я даже не знаю какую оценку ставить. Типа игра прикольная, но я разочарован её приобретением. Скорее всего я игру брал ради карточек и возможно тогда они нормальных денег стоили?.. Хотя я не помню "окупилась" ли игра или нет.. И я не понимаю "нужна" ли она вообще мне на аккаунте или нет??! Я вообще сомневаюсь что буду когда-либо на полном серьёзе в неё играть-проходить... Я в недоумении... Хочется поставить дизлайк, прошу, не судите строго... Очевидно что насчитанное время было накоплено в процессе выбивания карточек.
