The Ouroboros King

As mechanically sound as an empty chessboard, but not quite as fun as having those same missing pieces thrown at you.

The Ouroboros King is a fun roguelike chess game with a lot of new and interesting pieces. You have to win quickly in order to gain gold for upgrades and the AI is often quite difficult, so it can be rather challenging, particularly before you figure out all of the new pieces and how they typically work.

UI/UX is bad feels like a prototype

Це рогалікові шахи, alright І наче й всі класичні елементи тут є: нові фігури, перки. магази з одноразовими абілками. Але ця гра фейлиться в тому, щоб бути фановою, бо це занадто шахи і недостатньо рогалік*. Справа в тому, що будь-який бій це певна варіація ендшпілю майже без пішаків та з фігурами, які покривають половину дошки. Тому деякі матч апи це завєдомо або безкінечний шах або нічия. Хоча гра й намагається з цим боротись, наприклад стартовий перк, який закінчує бій, якщо у ворога остався тільки король Якщо порівнювати її з іншими шаховими рогаліками типу Shotgun King чи Usurper, то відчувається, що не вистачає якогось твіста, якоїсь мікроізюмінки щоб всі наявні елементи клацнули *є правда варіант почати гру з маскарадною маскою, але це вже будуть не шахи, а пошагове казіно (що теж прикольно)

I like this game, but I don't have anything to say about it.

why add polish language to the game, whilst skipping the polish fonts..

Il concept è carino anche se non rivoluzionario, la realizzazione è così così. Per il prezzo a cui l'ho preso è riuscito a divertirmi e sicuramente ogni tanto ci ritornerò, ma mi aspettavo delle meccaniche migliori ed una longevità superiore. Consigliato se lo trovate in scontro o cercate un gioco in cui fare una run veloce ogni tanto.

Decent. A lot of games have attempted the whole "chess with novel move sets" thing before, but this game pulls it off a little better than what I've typically seen, seemingly manage to grapple with the inherent ridiculous balancing of giving chess pieces new move capabilities a little better than most others have that I've encountered in the past. Overall delivery package could definitely use polish: there is a lack of linting on potential moves and you feel a little bit starved for information. One potential easy fix that would help a lot I think would be using two different colours for pieces different move axes, and possibly making use of arrows to show the pathway when hovering over an axis. I also think the game needs better notice for when you will be ending a move in check, really it should just straight up have a warning dialog IMHO like "this move will end your turn in check - are you sure?" because of the nature of instant death and the many novel types of pieces. Best of all I think would be a highlight over all pieces on the board that are currently "in danger"or something like that. With a bit of fine tuning and work on extra visibility as regards the state of the board for the player, I think this title could be an all time great. Definitely a really excellent design effort, full props to the developers for producing such a great game. Amount of content is quite thin and probably that couldn't have been any other way because same with all of these chess sort of titles the format and the fundamental game that they're working from does fairly limit the content space (there's only so many different ways to move around pieces under chess board rules, after all), so with that in mind it might be one to pick up on sale. I grabbed it at 50% off and i think it was WELL worth it at that price. At full price I'd say it's probably still worth it but not exactly excellent value for money. So if you're skint wait for a sale, and of course otheriwse just pick it up whenever, everyone will get some mileage here! It's also not just a game for chess fans, non-chess players will like this one just fine. If anything in my experience actual chess players seem to struggle with these chess themed games for some reason; I guess because they can't get their mind out of the traditional chess sapce that its used to operating in so it doesn't deal well with the novelty. Anyway, The Ouroboros King gets a thumbs up from me!

very good game.

j'adore la tournure du genre échec qui été fait
