Reviews for "Ultimate Chess"

Good. Some glitches that require attention:

1. You have to click repeatedly to get a move to register or select a piece.
2. It won't let you move your King out of check, you have to sacrifice a piece to get hinm out, but then he's just in check again.
3. Some executions don't show up.

Very cool!

I am going to say right now that I really have no idea at all how to play chess, but perhaps I know more than the average person. I love how you get to see all the different kinds of death scenes. There was a point where I was simply unable to move anywhere. I like the graphics used in this one, as the way the characters look is really goofy. I may not be good at it, but it is just fun to hear all those guys talk in their dumb voices. It seems like something a lot older, but still manages to be funny.

Humor and entertainment were the main ideas behind this game, I'm glad you were able to enjoy it.

good game

2 things
1. im having a glitch where it wont let me move my knight(the horse for you stupied people)
2. there should be extend turns option because it put me in stale mate 3 turns away from a checkmate

Interesting Idea

1) Some people complain about AI being too strong. Well I beat it in my first attempt and I do not play chess that much. Last time I played chess was about a year ago.
2) Changing Color of all possible moves when you click a piece would be good for beginning players (I'd love it, because I always need some time to figure out where are the available squares for the horse).
3) The rules, reading your tutorial I heard the en passant for the first time. Ok, nice. About the casting, I heard that you can only do this only if no pieces were attacked, but there are variations probably, the time I heard it was when two of my friends were having a huge argument whether this rule is true or not.
4) Animations were nice, I liked them.
5) But in the end I believe that animations were the only thing that distinguishes this from other games and sadly such detail cannot easily become core concept which makes the whole thing really unique or great. Adding multiplayer would be easy, maybe useless, but easy and it would not burden singleplayer experience. Making more games available with animated characters or maybe including some "minefields" campaign.
In the end: 8/10 A good game, with a little twist. But the twist is just too small to make it perfect.
