Recommended Feb 21, 2023

Crazy idea but it works, the gameplay is very solid and fast and graphics and ui are sleek. I’ve always been interested in chess but it feels so intimidating, Checkmate Kings is able to capture the game’s aesthetic but without needing a phd to have a blast. Grab a friend and you’ve got lots of hours of fun! I’ve been playing with my friends nonstop since we bought it, and we just can’t stop.

Maybe I missed the point, but this game is not fun, nor is it remotely like chess.

Super fun game to play with a friend! Once you master a little bit the main mechanics, it becomes very satisfying! And I love the art of the main characters! :D

Not recommended Dec 28, 2025

this game has really awful multiplayer controller issues. When trying to play offline couch play between two people, for some reason it will register both player 1 and player 2 as just... player 1. I can't play against another person at all, and we tried changing controllers, going into options, and restarting the game. Strongly don't recommend this game if you're looking for a local multiplayer experience.

Recommended Dec 8, 2024

Very fun 1v1 bullet hell game with a chess theme
