Chesstle

What an interesting twist to chess, I went ahead & started to play thinking it's chess with characters. Soon to realize there is much more to it. After reading the guide I played again & really loved it. I love the special abilities each piece has (Mage/bishop can trade places with another; Archer/Rook can attack over pieces). Player gets two moves one to move & another to attack. The attacks cause damage & don't outright kill units. If you are a defensive chess player like I am with slow opening & building to endgame, well it's time to leave your inhibitions aside & get your Queen/Champion in to the arena & hammer away. When I tried to create a private game in the menu, it took few attempts. I'm not sure if it's a glitch or not. In short super fun to play!!

Had this on my radar for a while and picked it up this sale along with a (pro chess player) friend and I wasn't disappointed. Took a match to get the hang of the mechanics (a quick tutorial or the guide being accessible in-game would've been nice) however it was hella fun beating on each others units and winning. I've never beaten my friend in chess before. 10/10 would beat professional chess players again
