What players say

Players praise the authentic VR dojo setting and the inclusion of rare games like Gungi and Chu Shogi alongside standard shogi and chess. Many note that the controls take time to master, with some recommending the store's tutorial video, but once learned the experience is chill and intuitive. The asynchronous correspondence mode is a frequently highlighted feature.
