Gigachess is not a chess game. In fact, this is a challenging puzzle game. You only have three kinds of pieces: Knight, Rook and Bishop. Most of puzzles are really hard, such as Knight's Dungeon. But I like the Endless mode. It's very interesting.2 found this helpful
A good pass time which tickles the old grey matter.1 found this helpful
Good classic knights puzzles and the wave attack mode is pretty interesting.
The visual clarity is ass. I am so frustrated about identifying which piece is which that I just don't want to keep playing.
This is a very fun and creative puzzle game, however it gets tedious fast and the music is so repetitive you find yourself unable to think. Worth the price tag and challenge but not my kind of thing.
