About
Chess, but without the bureaucratic back-and-forth of actually taking your turns. There's no time to waste in this hectic re-imagining of your favorite checkered strategy game. Blink once, and it's Checkmate!
Every time you move a piece, you lose some mana- But every second, you gain some mana. Save it up to launch a 4-pronged assault, or move one piece at a time to keep your enemy on their toes! Both players move simultaneously, so quick-witted maneuvers are just as important as long-term strategy!
A single match can last anywhere between 10 seconds and 10 minutes. Hyper Chess features over a dozen unique Chess Sets to collect, several unique game modes to spice up the fun, and local/online multiplayer.

The multiplayer is dead. Dev should really add a single player campaign so people can actually play.
this game looks great but the lack of a way to actually play it is awful, I'm gonna refund it, but maybe I'll rebuy it if they decide to add a singleplayer mode like a vs com or even a challenge mode
Absolutely zero people online playing this game and no singleplayer mode

It is a fun game and chool consept, but it desperately need a single player mode. It can take lituraly hours to find a anuter player! So unles you have frind that want's to play with you, the game is basicly unplaybol.
I can juke people in chess this is peak (I have a friend who really loves chess and playing it with people, so being able to play chess with them while I also have fun is really cool. Thanks!) Ps: They added quickplay
Chess! but no one online. :( unless you have friends to play with, good luck finding a match... Join the Discord, you can find opponents there.
Honestly it's a pretty cool concept, wish it had more players cause finding game is a pain in the ahh
Summary: This game is really good with a friend, painfully lonely online (at time of writing). This chess game/variant is so rich in tactics for how few rules are changed from normal chess. The balancing between the pieces is stellar and makes for a remarkable gameplay experience. The customizability is somewhat basic, but there is a wide variety of pieces and backgrounds to choose from once unlocked. Those upsides alone are enough to ensure that the game is very good for playing with a friend; however, if you are lonely, then I wouldn't advise purchasing the game (for now anyway). It will take you ages to find somebody who is willing to play via the online servers. Here are some tips I have for keeping players playing for longer: 1. Fix the obvious typos (players might be turned off by them; the small things count tremendously) 2. Add some sort of CPU mode 3. Add an optional in-game tutorial (I understand you have a video; you should try to account for the fact not everybody will notice it) The name of the game for player retention is to not arbitrarily turn away players who would otherwise be interested. I hope this review serves you well.
Model clipping. Blatant typos. Broken achievements.
It has no cpu opponent. Can't find online players in the lobby nor matchmaking. A cpu opponent would make it interesting to play.
