Love this game, but wish development would go a bit faster…

Edit December 2020:

Seems like they gave up on this game, no news in 18 months, shame :(

Not worth the €15 but still a fun game

I backed this game on Kickstarter and had access to the games beta before its full release and Inhave to say, this game is really fun. It’s a fantastic virtual board game of sorts that requires a lot of strategy and is incredibly competitive. There are multiple ways to play the game and earn victory points, allowing you to play the game how you want. The AI for this game are well programmed and are an adequate challenge if you’re playing by yourself or you can play this with friends and compete against each other. Overall it’s a very fun board game/party game and I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Chessaria: The Tactical Adventure (Chess)

TL;DR A game of chess and chess-puzzles, with an extremely high-cliché fantasy theme. Quite engaging, highly-polished and very enjoyable.

Full Review

I discovered this title by accident, but wow… what a surprise! I quite like chess, but it does tend to be a) quite clinical and b) too difficult. This game, however, fixes that! Chessaria comes with a quick-play mode against the computer with a few chess variants (standard chess, plus some asymmetric variants and other unusual scenarios). It also has a multiplayer mode, that lets you play against friends online. And then there is the “Adventure” (the single-player campaign). The Adventure takes you on a journey through the land, and presents 100 varied and engaging chess puzzles (and the occasional full game of chess).

On Steam I was browsing and saw someone had a game called Chessaria on a wishlist or had just purchased it. I took a look because I’m a fan of chess. Maybe not the biggest fan but I’ve played over 100 games on lichess.org (my profile page) and more elsewhere, so I know what I’m doing. Chessaria brought back memories of when I first got into computer chess and promised tactical puzzles with Chessaria: The Tactical Adventure. Alright, it had my attention.
