How it feels
A grim fantasy chess-like strategy game where each capture transforms your forces into undead, forcing careful asymmetric tactics through a story-driven campaign.

What players say
Players praise the fresh zombie twist on chess where captured pieces turn. The campaign is short but has high-quality cutscenes and voice acting. Some find the AI too easy for experienced chess players, and a few report a bug where levels don't advance without replaying.
