What players say
Players like the concept of real-time chess piece movement, but execution falls short. Many say spamming knight attacks is the only viable strategy, keyboard controls work better than mouse, and a gamebreaking bug halts progress around level 14. The game takes about 20 minutes to finish, which some see as too short despite the low price.
