Xiangqi given the Battle Chess treatment. And just like the original Battle Chess games, once the novelty of animations wears off you are left with an inferior version of the game. The game does not enforce the generals can't oppose each other rule. Just like the older Battle Chess games it is agonisingly slow to play, and upping the CPU cycles on dosbox doesn't make it any faster. Outside of nostalgia or historical spelunking can't recommend.
This is now probably the best way to play Doom 1 and 2 for the first time. All the official content and some mods can be played with zero tinkering. Though as a long time fan I would still recommend using a source port.
I remember playing this as a child and being amazed by the animated chess pieces. But now over 20 years later I can say that it aged very poorly. All the animations are so agonizingly slow and long. The sound is grating. It really is not a pleasant experience.
I salute CD Projekt RED for making one of the best RPG's in the recent years.
