User reviews & Ratings
Explore reviews from Steam users sharing their experiences and what they love about the game.
It's chess. Beautifully presented. Simple as that. I'm as noob as it gets when it comes to the classic game, but I'm having a lot of fun. I'm very glad I got this and believe I will have a blast playing on one tab with a move/show in another for some time to come now and I'm grateful for that. Getting it for less that $3 is just the cherry on the sundae.
Multiplayer Works! You have to wait sometimes. Most people seems to come from other platforms probably because many here complain that multiplayer is not working. Works very well for me. Visually is the best 3D Chess game. Played before on Xbox. Looks and behave the same. Only once experienced blurring but fixed with a restart. It did have bugs. Once I've lost a game when the opponent run out of time. But overall, I really enjoy the 3D atmosphere. Give it a try.
