How it feels

A straightforward but unpredictable chess battle where card-given abilities and exchanges keep each match feeling quick and luck-influenced.

What players say

Players enjoy the card-chess mix and the pixel art style, but the co-op is broken and the game suffers from a low player count, making quickplay dead. While some praise the unique abilities, others call it a microtransaction-laden attempt to fix chess that didn't need fixing. Newcomers wish there was a bot mode to learn.
