What players say

Players are split on Chessarama. Many praise its creative chess-based puzzle modes like Soccer Chess, but a loud chorus warns that the game is buggy, with crashes, broken achievements, and missing collection items. A near-universal complaint is the lack of an undo button, a basic feature for puzzle games.
