This is the best game, especially about the epic anime chess game❤️❤️❤️ I almost always pass the king, and I always lose it, it's very hard for me, but I still like it❤️❤️❤️💯
add upgrades please?
I did a youtube video of the PC version since the 1st version I did was the mobile with a screenshot below
Love this game and the animations on the chess channel.Subbed to both
I loved the game, the difficulty chart and how rivals get harder :D
hey.. isn't this the chess channel on Youtube? OH SHIT ITS THE CHESS CHANNEL ON YOUTUBE
Fue mucho más entretenido de lo que pensé que sería, me encantó
Feels really polished and I had a blast playing this!
I gave the android version a test and I beat dummie and jump to Roxxie...Im still learning
overall this is fun and plays really cool.
I died many times because that joystick kept on being stuck at the corner of the screen so I can't move or the dash button not working because now the joystick is on that too. This game is fantastic but that problem is troubling me. 7/10. Edit, why I can't sprint when something is Infront of me, especially the knight boss minions blocking me from sprinting away from them
Maybe my expectations were too high but I don't know. I played all levels and win before making comment cause it would not be fair to judge before experiencing all. Game feels like it could get a lot of quality of life fixes. like just holding the mouse istead of broking your index finger (mine still aches). you could get stuck at walls when trying to move diagonal. also attack patern of bosses are not much playable, they are not hard to doge but you can't avoid them if you try to use sword. Seems like most people used arrow and run away but I prefered the sword cause it deal way more damage and fight and quicker wether you lose or win. It feels like gambling cause only thing mathers is which attack enemy gonna use next whilst all you could do is spam attack and dash. also if you try to instant changes in angle befora dash it not registers so you need to move that direction atleast 0.1 second or something like that in order to dash to count.
I like the art style of the game, it has its own unique characters which is pretty good too, but it feels like game is made for the characters. What I mean is characters have a lot of love and effort in them but game play not has the same amount of love.
over all I would give it a 8/10. I also not like to criticise without suggestions. I would say increase the damage dealth by enemies, make mouse holdable when using sword, make a indicator for enemies when they about to attack (the could shine or something), and make player untargetable during dash and let dash go through characters, I believe it would make game less spamy and more timing based. But in the end it is just my suggestion real important part is having fun whilst doing it the way you want.
Sorry, but I'm not enjoying the game at all. Most of the fights are against opponents with a bigger reach than yourself, and block 95% of the arrows you shoot. The only way I've won is with lucky dash attacks and by being a coward and running away with the bow, hoping for the 5%. 2DGF is what broke me; big ass hammer with reach, double hits, STUNNING me to get hit a couple more times. Then, when you get her health below a certain point, she can LITERALLY run faster than you can dash away.
If there were some sort of parry mechanic with the sword, then I wouldn't mind the difficulty. Those of you who enjoy it, continue to do so. Sadly, I will not be playing further. Criticize me if you feel like it, but I felt like I needed to voice my opinion.
(The chess fight was fun, no problems there.)
Absolute hidden gem
I found myself playing this game for way longer than I planned to XPVery fun game and a hidden gem. Maybe include more images of the other fights in the game, because at first I thought it was going to be MAINLY an Epic Chess game, but as I found out it's a fighting arena type game with one of the fights being Epic Chess. Misunderstanding on my end but I think the pictures on the homepage should include more variety.
this game is very hard yet fun at the same time :)
Hey bro, after playing for a while, i notice that the joystick can't stop moving with my finger.
can you add a option to made it stand in one place?
thx bro, i can finally KILL my boredom with this game😀😍
ive gotten top 10 in all fights fun game
You encouraged me to improve my PB in Chess fight. Still 5th but improvement is improvement.
how does a sword fight a spear?
help.
gorilla warfare
gotta combo them into a wall
works for all of them actually
A lancereaver (lots of kiting, or parrying the dash if you're goated)
lets be honest,the sword feels useless
the sword does more damage at a higher risk, also some opponents are consistent enough with arrow deflection that the sword is the only option.
edit: try to beat roy with just a bow vs with sword and bow
PLEASE PLEASE PAELSE PUT OA PAUSE BUTTON IM DYING HERE LITERALLY
also an end fight early button because sometimes you lose too much health too early and the fight becomes almost hopeless
This game is suuuper fun, I absolutely love it, just have two problems that's bugging me. The joystick sometimes moved out of my fingers' range without me knowing. I also auto-dashed at some point, and those small mishaps often completely ruined my chance of winning lol. But once again, I love this game so much regardless. Keep up your great job, devs! I'll be looking forward to the fix. Oh, and I think it'd also be nice if you can customize the controls, like which key does what for pc and button positions and sizes for mobile.
I love this game. But my biggest issue is that I can't change my keybinds. See, I have fucking abysmal dexterity. These fingers do not move fast. That's why my mouse has extra buttons, to make up for my failings and let me dash without having to move my fingers all the way to the damn spacebar. I can't get that if I can't change my binds. I have no idea how hard making it possible to change binds is, so I'm not gonna demand it or any madness like that. I'm just gonna... suggest it.
Thanks for the feedback! Keybinds are planned for a future update.
Yay!
yes, there is an APK, but only for Android
I dunno if i am just stupid or what, so im gonna ask anyway. Is there an apk for this game? If there is one where is it, and if there isnt, have you considered making one?
This game is amazing! You're great, and so are the animations and stickers! I want to know if we need to help with the localization of the game into other languages.
The boss is the same with how they attacks and stuff. You just have to use your bow all the time and still win so yeah:(
Now that's a satisfying feeling. Quite a fun battle.
Love the game. But perhaps you could make the joystick for movement fixed?
ranked 12th i think in chess fight 10/10 game *Tired Elf* <3
I liked it but I want to say a few words
Roxy is a bit complicated for its difficulty and blaze and D2GF are too simple for its difficulty
Griseld has slightly exaggerated attack hitboxes, the difficulty should not be due to crooked attacks but due to the speed and strength of attacks
I especially liked the level with chess because for the most part everyone plays by the rules, except that the knight, in my opinion, should hit all the cells around herself
Everyone, your favorite animation is out of the game.
this game would benefit from a custom cursor so it is a bit easier to aim
(i only played the browser version just in case it is in the download and i missed it . .)
overall pretty good game though ^ ^
The only way I find to win some battles was to run away all the time from their super powerfull combos and shoot arrows... Which was a bit sad :c
Except the chess battle. That one was different and super cool!
LETS GOOOOOOOOO CREIBIS GAME
