About Chesster

Chess meets match-three to create a deep and strategic new experience. Faced with a board full of chess pieces, you must create rows or columns of matching pieces to score points.

Pieces move the same way as in chess and “take” the piece in their target destination, clearing it from the board. Players can move three pieces each turn with scoring and cascades occurring at the end of the turn.

Just like chess, the key is thinking several steps ahead and high scores are only possible by lining up combos as pieces fall into the empty spaces you’ve created. Progress through the medieval estate to complete the game, mastering three types of level - game, puzzle and challenge.

Chesster has some tactical and strategic elements to it, but the RNG can be unforgiving in later levels.

I really wanted to like this game but I can't. The game requires too much look to get all of the treasure out of a level. Maybe I am just a bad player but even when I tried to set something up one small thing overlooked. The puzzles are ok just the other parts of the game. 3/10

Do you like match-3 and playing Chess? Well if you do, then this is the biggest scientific break-through since sliced bread. The gameplay is actually quite good and solid. It does get quite challenging and orientated towards taking your time to plan your moves, it is not speed/time related at all. This is mainly because the tiles are signified as Chess pieces and they follow the Chess movement ruleset. The 'matching' follows the match-3 ruleset; Puzzle Quest (MPQ), Bejeweled style. How it usually works is each of your 'turns' is broken into three moves. So, you get to plan/set three movements of three different tile pieces, and then they all move together at the same time 'completing' your turn. You can make match 4, 5, etc 'L' and 'T' shapes, etc. If you match 5 tiles you get a special 'Queen' tile piece that you can make some special combo matches to get bonus points. Each board will be of a certain gameplay type, including; normal mode (standard gameplay), puzzle mode (solve a trick match), challenge mode (clear a specific number of blocks). On a normal/standard gameplay board each turn will have what is called a 'point requirement' which actually works like a 'tax'. Basic…

If you like Chess, and you like puzzles, chances are you'll LOVE Chesster. I write this on the morning I finally solved a level I'd been stuck on for a couple of years. Dancing and exaltation did occur. :)
