Players are divided on this chess-variant game. Some appreciate its unique twist on classic strategy gameplay and nostalgic charm, though others criticize it heavily for its minimalist Flash-like graphics, amateur presentation, and the flawed concept of trying to "fix" chess with custom loadouts. The game's unconventional design appears to be either a refreshing departure or a fundamental misunderstanding of what makes strategy games work, depending on the player's perspective.
ONCE AGAIN CAW C—Huh. Well. That was... odd. Anywho- Tiny black and white people in ancient Greek rugby helmets do battle in an unusually-structured and -gentlemanly manner, while big explosions of color happen nearby as they look around. - reminds me of the good old days.

So this looks like an old 1990's Adobe Flash game that you might play in a web browser, and the problem there is obviously Steam wasn't intended to try compete with Chrome and Firefox. If it can be done in a web browser, it's not even close to a cutting edge PC gaming experience. That's a problem. The graphics here are particularly awful, minimalist Flash tier stuff that seems to have been done with MS-Paint, so bad that it actually stands out as one of the worst looking games on Steam. Quite an accomplishment. It's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarily visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for compromise. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. This is "free" enough (not every "free" game in the "free" s…
