How it feels

Playing feels like a lively chess match where animated fantasy pieces clash in magical arenas with each strategic move.

What players say

Players report the game shipped with an invasive DRM that demanded personal information, though the DRM was later disabled. Beyond that, players find it shallow with only one chess set and AI opponent, no save feature, unskippable animations, and broken multiplayer. Those who enjoy it treat it as a simple animated chess title.
