Magician's Gambit

Play chess in VR against a Magician.... That's pretty much it.. Fun chess game, needs some work but if you love chess then this one is totally one to pick up. https://youtu.be/5aaH-26DS54

As a solo stand alone chess game it is quite decent and for the price a no brainer to add to your collection but if you are looking for a multiplayer Chess game then look elsewhere

lack of content but its pretty cool ig. not worth 10$ tho.

This is an extremely difficult chess game. There are only three levels of difficulty with the lowest being expert. I never won a single game the entire time I had this game in my Steam library. There is also only one room that you play chess in. The game is also still in early access after SIX years because the developer has long abandoned it. If you are looking for a VR chess game, I recommend Immersion Chess VR that is free on Steam, which has several levels of difficulty and is much better than Magician's Gambit.

I highly recoment this product. I would prefer a different location/setting (hope they add more) but this is the closest I have been able to get to over the board experience. I was able to get that with Chess Ultra, but Magician's Gambit has done a much better job fine tooning the camera movement using my Gamepad. And, of course the special effects are top notch. I am currently using the Oculus Rift on a RTX 1080 The engine strength at its lowest level is fiarly strong for those who are only beginner/social players or below 1300 elo. I haven't tested the engine strength but I have not been able to win a game yet, so I hope they can add something for lower rated players. Otherwise, playing and losing everytime with Magician's Gambit is still a lot of fun whereas I would have stopped playing in other programs. I just hope they continue adding features to this masterpiece. Viewing the move list, saving the game, etc.

I love the graphics and play! At first I could not figure out how to bring the menu up but I went to the developers website and emailed them and they responded right away! Beautiful Graphics for sure! I love this game! I would like to see multiplayer across formats if it is possible.
