What players say
Players warn about invasive DRM that required personal details and locked installations, though later reviews report the DRM was disabled. The game is a chess title with animated pieces and alternate modes like hack and slash, but lacks options such as saving, adjustable chess sets, and functional Steam multiplayer.
