What Steam players say

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

✦ AI summary

Players report significant frustration with aggressive monetization, describing the game as a ripoff that demands additional payment after purchase and limits gameplay to just a few moves before forcing upgrades. Beyond monetization complaints, common technical issues include poor visibility during piece movement on the angled 3D board, frequent accidental misplays, inability to undo moves in single-player, and registration problems preventing online play.

This game is a rip off! You get to play 3/4 moves before it just terminates your game & demands more money I didn't realise Steam allowed such cons to be live on the platform, given all the positive game experiences I've had on this system over the years - will be FAR more careful with casual purchases here in future!!!

Seems to be 3d mode only which is disappointing. I keep getting asked to pay money to upgrade. I regret buying this.

the pieces are hard to see when you drag an move the piece you can accident drop into the wrong spot. THIS HAPPENS A LOT. but you can't do over in a single player game. hard to see cause the board is 3D and in an angle. It would be nice to be able to change the view.

I bought and paid for it. Played a few games and then it demanded I pay again for a license. Outrageous.
