Yes, My Queen

повелась на красивую картинку

До этой игры я думал, что хорошо играю в шахматы. Теперь, цитируя королеву, "Я собираюсь лечь и не просыпаться, пока полностью не забуду правила шахмат".

very AI moves never make a mistake, always need a 200% brain to try to beat a 1000% brain.

I'm a bit torn. I think there's a fair amount of bugs or gameplay mechanics that don't make sense to me, but I know it's indie dev so I'll just recommend it here. I like the bosses and the cards, but some cards seem like auto-drafts whereas even the situational cards just seem bad to ever draft. 1. I just lost my best run because of poison "killing" all my troops. My king was going to make it to the mines and win the level, but while my king is sealed off (due to the walls) with no way to die - my run ends? It doesn't seem fair because I was playing by just pushing my king forward - I did not think I'd need to defend my other troops 2. The very first level needs some more randomization. I'm tired of restarting to the first 3 pawns every time. 3. Shop is glitched. I'm unable to purchase the items that give you the permanent buff to future runs - I had it for maybe the first 2 hours of me playing, but after a certain point they stopped being offered to me - whether I rush or advance and play the normal way. 4. Maybe this is a "skill issue" but I'd prefer some warning sign to know that my King is in check. There have been times where I have the position to stop a move, but because I don't see my King is in check that I just die because I'm not looking there. IMO just a ! sign on the side should be enough indicator. 5. There should be a way to discard cards (even if it costs 1 energy). I noticed in one run I drafted too many cures (or potions, I forget the name) and I had no cards to even cast them on. I basically bricked my own hand (maybe another skill issue) but I still think you should be able to remove cards from your hand. I'm putting this game on hiatus for now because I'm way too heated that I lost a 2+ hour run due to what I believe is faulty game mechanics. Will come back once dev fixes the "bugs"

The characters are all surprisingly cute and well-written. Cute in an anime character way but not overly cheesy. It provides a creative and fun way to play chess. I have played quite a few chess roguelikes. This is one of the best uses of chess mechanics while adding on things to make chess less boring, so to speak, without making you overpowered or abandoning chess’s core gameplay altogether. One of the major flaws is, the game does lack Roguelike progression between runs, as some reviews have pointed out. The overall upgrades are pretty underwhelming and you generally need to rely on building your deck for each run to defeat each bosses. It probably forces you to become a better chess player, but there should be some optional upgrades for players who want to become more overpowered or have more fun doing different things going through each run. Overall, a very well-made game that deserves more love.

Geralmente eu não gosto de jogar xadrez contra computador, prefiro jogar online, com pessoas. Mas atualmente este jogo tem monopolizado meu tempo. Um [b]ruguelite[/b] muito divertido para quem gosta de xadrez.

Fun twist on chess! It took me quite a few rounds to start to learn the strategy and figure out what cards I should be using, but I love the added dimension to the game. This adds a lot more creativity to how you win against an opponent and adds a lot more fun.
