Pawn of the Dead

If you're a chess fan, don't miss Pawn of the Dead. New rules totally reinvigorate the game (but the original's still there if you want it). Campaign is a series of 64 challenges but as if that wasn't enough there's also an arcade-style "queen vs zombies" mode. You probably have to be a chess fan to enjoy this, but if you are, this is mindblowing. Features a campaign with 64 challenges, a "queen vs zombies" mode, 2p mode and both classic and zombie rules.

Also, the design choices are [u]pleasantly non-grandiose[/u], but defintely weird... The black pieces are your standard undead and necromancers, but... the white king looks like a poor guy pretending to be king; the white queen wears what I can't call neither elegant nor a simple nightgown; the knights and bishops are just humanoids with horse and elephant heads respectively that look incredibly out of place; and whoever designed the rooks needs to perform a drug test asap, because it seems he's as high as Lewis Carroll was. [*]The [u]fluid animations[/u] are technically fine, but also very underwhelming and nothing else, and they look like the motion capture was done by a middle school th…

The game is a lot of fun

Nice little chess game

Nice change on chess games, waiting for new scenarios
