What players say

Players praise the blend of chess with a grand strategy map, but report a game-breaking bug where the AI fails to take its turn. Mechanics are considered cryptic and poorly explained, and the developer stopped updating months after release. The fixed starting positions and map layout reduce replayability for some.
