What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Check vs Mate combines traditional chess with animated battles and varied game modes that players find visually polished and entertaining, though the core experience still demands genuine chess skill to progress. Praise centers on the gorgeous graphics, music, and creative presentation, but frustration emerges around difficulty balance and reportedly inconsistent timing mechanics in certain modes, particularly the Duel mode where button-press responsiveness feels unreliable to some players.
Fantasy and fun!!2 found this helpful
Battle vs Chess is a creative twist on the classic game, combining traditional chess strategy with animated battles that bring each move to life. The visuals add a fun and immersive layer, especially for players who enjoy seeing their pieces fight it out. While the core gameplay remains true to chess, the added modes and presentation make it feel fresh. It may not replace pure competitive chess, but it’s a great way to enjoy the game in a more entertaining and dynamic way.1 found this helpful
If you like chess you'll probably like this. I suck at chess and CBF putting the necessary hours in study and practice to get good at it; couldn't beat the third challenge in the campaigns.
Gorgeous graphics, great animations, amazing music, fun gamemodes, and very high-quality overall! The timing of the arrow presses in the Duel mode is a bit janky, but besides that, this game is definitely worth playing!
I press buttons in time and the AI still gets to kick my ass. Sometimes it doesn't even matter if I press the arrows correctly or not, the AI hits anyway. A very bad experience. I watched a tutorial on how to leave reviews just to review this negatively.
Kinda tough
