About Avalog
Chess, but continuous!
Avalog is a chess game where the pieces aren't fixed to the squares on the board - they can sit anywhere between. Set in a charming 8-bit Arthurian world, players can challenge their friends either on the couch or online.Key Features:
- A new take on a classic: learn which strategies work best in the new dimension!
- Five playable factions, each with their movement options and playstyles.
- Draft mode: pick your pieces from a random selection of the factions, then fight!
- Customization: choose from a selection of palettes and maps.
- Lore! Explore some of the Arthurian (and definitely not Arthurian) mythology.

"Avalog" is yet another attempt from an amateur developer to "fix" Chess, because apparently they know better. There's also a traditional mode, but it turns out nobody wanted to play any kind of chess with such crappy graphics. Who knew, turns out gaming is a visual medium. This features really godawful, lazy pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks bad because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded [i]despite[/i] the bad graphics, not because of them. Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applaude…3 found this helpful
