3D Chess

A normal game of chess but with epic animations and epic environments. Highly recommend to chess players.

Having this in my library let's me pretend to enjoy chess

June 2024

I can only recommend this to a small range of people, and even then, only on sale: -Causal chess players, who have an Elo under 1800, who like to collect virtual chess boards and to play against AI for fun. -Younger chess fans. -People who like a "World of Warcraft" like fantasy setting. Pros: -Animated, Normal and 2D chess, choose whatever you like. -Interesting story mode with a fresh approach towards chess with great narration. -Hints to make the right moves in the openings - this makes learning the first viable self chosen steps easier. -Chess boards and maps look pretty good. -Amospheric background noises. -Nice music, that fits the fantasy style. -Up to Level 6 (approx 1700-1800 Elo?), the CPU thinks fast. Cons: -No option to resign (but an option to restart). -No replays, no saved games, no recorded statistics. -No timer. -Level 7 CPU (1900 Elo?) thinks for 15 minutes, any level higher takes much longer thinking time, thus playing versus AI is of little use for professional players. Overall, for a game that is quite old - 2011, the graphics are still beautiful. The gameplay and the ideas behind it could be much more fleshed out, but it's still pretty nice. A fresh take on chess.
