Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
I have been looking for a decent alternative to classical chess for a long time, and this game has fully met my expectations. The controls are intuitive, the graphics are pleasant, and the gameplay is exciting. I am very happy with the purchase!6 found this helpful
I see it is possible using board setup to play games with handicaps. A welcome addition would be allowing a handicap to be chosen during setup. This would allow weaker players to play against stronger levels. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handicap_(shogi) Strong players can also improve their play using handicaps when playing weaker players. I still stand by previous review. This program is a good value. The levels seem to increase in difficulty quickly. Level 1 is extremely easy, but only less than two percent of players have defeated level 4. Traditional Shogi mating problems require the use of all pieces in hand. Many books in Japanese exist filled with tsume Shogi problems. It does not require that much kanji to be able to benefit from such books.2 found this helpful
Oh yes, a classic Japanese strategy that captivates with its depth and beauty. The game is available on Steam and offers a unique experience for fans of strategy games.2 found this helpful
I am familiar with classical chess. Learning new rules of a familiar game can be good for the brain. Shogi (Japanese chess) is great for this2 found this helpful
This game gave me an incredible immersion into Japanese culture. The unique mechanic of returning pieces to the board adds interest and strategic depth. Every move tells a new story and presents a challenge!2 found this helpful
Shogi requires players to think strategically and anticipate their opponent's moves. Players must carefully plan their attacks and defenses using both their own pieces and those of their opponent. The game can be very dynamic, as each move can dramatically change the situation on the board.1 found this helpful
