✦ AI summary

ChessCraft lets players create custom chess variants with intuitive piece editing and adjustable difficulty levels, which reviewers praise for offering creative freedom and quick implementation. The main complaint centers on the adventure mode needing updates to demonstrate the newer mechanics, while some advanced players note the highest difficulty levels may not provide sufficient challenge. Players who enjoy customizing chess rules find it worthwhile.

This is a great game

I really enjoy something like this exists! In like 30 min I figured out how to create my own pieces, have a working game and play-test it against the computer. Quickly figuring out I made the pawns way to strong which led to a very slow and boring game. I changed some things for the better and now I have a much more interesting variant! The computer beats me from level 5-7, so I think the difficulty is pretty solid, but for an advanced player it might (?) be a bit weak.

If you love making your own chess rules and chess variants you will love this game.

The adventure mode should be updated to showcase all of the new piece mechanics.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.
