Worst game ever.

[Lazuli]

Chess is a crappy tactical turn based RPG developed by a bunch of monkeys.
Right away you’ll notice Chess has no storyline. Instead, all you notice is the the White army and the Black army are fighting each other over a battlefield. Note the “a battlefield,” because Chess only has one story map.

As for the actual combat, it’s extremely dull. Each unit can kill another with only one hit. This means units with a real good movement ability dominate the field (more on that bellow). There aren’t even any combat animations or anything that happens in combat. One unit moves on it’s space and “captures” it, and the piece is removed from the game with no form of action or special effects.
Yawn.

Chess has shitty class balance. The Queen is flat out overpowered while your actual front line units, the Pawns. can’t do shit. I think the developers were afraid that no one would use the female character so they buffed up her abilities really high but now theres no point in using any other unit.
The rest of the units suck. Rooks can only move in 4 directions, same with Bishops. Boring. Also, whats up with the Knight? It has the most bizzare combat abilities of all the units. They’re fucking hard to use cause they jump around like bitches to move and attack. The devs should have named this unit Ninja, since Knights didn’t jump around like that in real life.

Worst part, is the king. You see, the devs decided that if your king gets captured, you instantly lose the game. W-T-F? This wouldn’t be a problem, except that he can’t move for crap. Seriously, the most important unit in the game can only move 1 space a turn? Good luck keeping him alive while every other unit in the game dances around him.

Unbalanced classes, lackluster gameplay, and not to mention repetitive 1 hour+ games. Chess is not worth the time or your money.
3 out of 10.

Do you have a point in there somewhere?

[Zdrasti]

Let me know when you full clear hardmode.

[Grizzly Willy]

Sounds like you just need better NPC's to play against.

Sarcasm overload!

[Xalzel]

You think chess is bad? Try Checkers, that game takes homogenization to the next level.

[PuppetShowJustice]

Why is this in "Video Games Discussion"? Or, for that matter, anywhere?

[Xinxang]

Sounds like someone can't play chess very well

[Siri]

These things are only fun when they stick to the truth. I enjoyed the first two paragraphs and then it turned awful.

[Mechazod]

You bitch now, but Chess is a GREAT spiritual successor to Checkers. If you want to play an underdeveloped tactical strategy game go try that and then you will see how much you miss Chess. The only good feature of Checkers was the RPG style level system they implemented when you reach a certain area on the battlefield, but even that sucks eggs since you can only go up one level and that's it.

[unholytestament]

You losers will never understand the complexity of Chess.

Go back to your kiddy little Tic Tac Toe.

[Iyarashii]

You know that game, life, it sucks man, it's just so unfair

[PACOX]

Checkers clone. No company can come up with original ideas anymore.

[GGA1759]

I know and understand the OP to be posting a sarcastic type post. But at least get your arguments correct.

[Powerogue]

Tic Tac Toe has been praised by millions worldwide for its gripping gameplay with minimalist designs and its two-class system.

[superstarz]

i think OP trying to be funny..

[Angarin]

I thought he was talking about something else for awhile until I read the comments. /facepalm

It's ok, except you are wrong. We all know it's this one, copies being buried and all:
