Description
Commanders, assemble your armies! BATTLE vs. CHESS calls for an interactive feather duster, chartering the successful chess game principle into the present day multimedia world. Animated fantasy figurines assemble in magical worlds and await your command! As a Commander, execute skillful maneuvers on the game board and catapult yourself directly into the battle with devastating attacks, chessman vs. chessman.

Chess – the unrivalled champion of strategy games has been attracting players of all ages for countless centuries. BATTLE vs. CHESS is based on the simple yet ingenious concept of creating a fusion between professional chess software and upbeat, combat oriented game mechanics, complete with richly animated game pieces. At the outset of a match things seem quite basic: a 3D game board pits two opponents against each other in a seemingly ordinary game of chess. The game board itself is set in one of six available environments, each with its own unique landscape and presentation features. Traditionally recognized game pieces have been given a facelift as hulking stone golems and beastly chimaeras take the place of the typical rook and knight pieces respectively.


FEATURES:


  • Multiple richly crafted army sets combined with 6 different gameboard environments introduce an unheard of visual complexity
  • Two gripping strategy campaigns with 30 missions and 30 different mission goals
  • Interactive 3rd person action mode
  • Beat'em up fights in six unique arenas with each of the twelve characters
  • Challenging PvP duels together on one PC over LAN and Internet
  • Utilizing the famous Fritz! chess algorithm, equipped with 10 distinct levels of difficulty, as well as an extensive opening library, participants of all skill levels are provided with an appropriate degree of challenge
  • The state of the art 3D graphics engine powers the breath taking visuals through the incorporation of HDR and particle effects
  • Cinematic quality animated sequences pull players into the action of the game
  • The innovative fusion of professional chess software and action oriented fight-ing simulations result in a strategic action experience unlike anything before

Good fun chess games

Does what it says it should do. Slightly disappointed there's only one set of pieces but no real complaints!

Kind Of Aggressive! I LIKE!!!

First, I'm not a master at this game by a long shot, But I have also not enjoyed trying to improve much at times, as much as I enjoy THIS chess title. I've also played some with other pieces to choose from, rather than only boards, also with animations for the moves and taking an opponent's piece. There is also no ability to save the game, is why four instead of five for this one -- but this is the BEST I've ever played for PLAYING chess: I think this is the Important thing, and is the strength of this game. One issue I have with chess for instance, is to me it's boring; so, I would be close to snoozing while struggling with seeing further ahead than only my own defense. Lol. But THIS plays more agressively, whoever 'fritz!' is in there! Lol. Hard to explain how this isn't to say it's harder than others, but some really exciting matches -- is not boring; not something I usually can say about a chess game. It also runs fine on my last gen desktop and laptop: A GREAT game again here! I'm Glad I bought it, and the extra boards later :-)
