What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Players report that this chess variant on a hexagonal board suffers from multiplayer server issues (though some note fixes were attempted), and the game lacks difficulty settings, making it inaccessible for casual players while potentially interesting only to experienced chess players. Most reviewers feel the modifications to chess rules and format aren't compelling enough to justify playing over free alternatives, with some finding the simultaneous turn-based mechanics confusing and unnecessary.

cant connect to multiplayer server, comes up with an error and the game kinda sucks 2/10. off the top of my head i can think of 5 other types of chess i would rather play normal portal 3d pikmin chess, game i invented in table top simulator and chesskers a game you play when you don't have all the chess pieces and you replace them with checkers

EDIT (2020-09-30): THE MULTIPLAYER SERVER HAS BEEN FIXED!! You won't find many people online, so finding a random match isn't likely to be very successful. But private matches work flawlessly. If you have a friend who owns this game, or know someone who might like this game, you should have no trouble playing private matches against them. And this game really comes into its own when you are playing against a human. I kicked my brother's butt in our first test match, and (after he played the tutorial) he kicked my butt in our second match. There is real strategy in this game when you up against a thinking and learning human being. EDIT (2020-09-28): It's possible that they have fixed the multiplayer server. I can't confirm since I still haven't successfully loaded a multiplayer match yet. But I am not getting the error message I used to get. Instead it is endlessly searching for a multiplayer game, suggesting that perhaps the server is working fine now and that the problem now is that there isn't anyone else online to connect with. I will need to test this by seeing if I can start a private match between myself and a friend. It's a good game. It would be a great game if they just …

A "modification" of chess. To me it was very confusing and I really missed some difficultly levels because while I know how to play chess, I am not good at it so this was just unplayable to me. I guess it could be potentially interesting for someone who is decent at it.

CHEXS is an attempt to migrate Chess to a 5 hex per side hex board instead of an 8x8 grid. Unsatisfied with screwing with the basic format of chess, they decided to turn it into a simultaneous resolution turn based strategy, because... actually there's no good reason to do that. There's bugs. Online multiplayer is dead. This isn't as good as Chess. You can play that for free in a web browser. There's huge online Chess tournaments that you can play in for free. Why bother paying for this?

If you are pro at regular 2D chess try hexagonal chess. However if you have no idea on how to play, get ready to get rekt by the hexchess AI bot xD
