What Steam players say

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

✦ AI summary

Chessia suffers from significant technical and design issues that frustrate players, including extremely slow AI response times, a poorly designed interface, and missing fundamental chess features like board setup, move undo, tournament modes, and adjustable viewing angles. Players report that the AI difficulty scaling relies on artificial blunder mechanics rather than proper time controls, and note a lack of developer communication or support. Most reviews suggest avoiding the game entirely due to these compounding problems.

I bought this game while it was still at Early Acess. I liked that it has a native version for linux and I was hoping that it could evolve to something closer to the famous Chessmaster software. But it was a huge disappointment. The interface sucks and this game miss some key features: no option to setup the board, no way of taking back a move, no tournament options, no way to rotate the board or change your angle of view, and you can't change time levels after the game has started, amongst other things. The worst: as you can't select a different time level for each player, the only real way to weaken the engine is the "blunder" feature of stockfish, which leads into a very artificial game (the feeling is to play against a player with very solid knowlege which all of a sudden would do a very stupid move). The graphics are fine, but the way as this game is now I wouldn't recomend it even if it was for free (Lucas Chess and Arena are better options and they are free). It is a pity as Chessia had a great potential.

Analysis doesn't work. No response from devs. Do not buy.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

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.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
