While each mission has a small background story, it is not a complete storyline. The campaign comes with 15 missions, increasing in difficulty as you progress. Luckily you can always chose to look at the pieces in 2D and disable animations if you´re in a hurry or don´t feel like watching animations. While the animations are funny, it does slow the pace of the game a little. I wish the developers would have added more factions, but perhaps that will come in some downloadable content. While the animations are fun to watch, they can quickly become repetitive, as all chess pieces only have a few animations when they attack. The game comes with two different factions called order and chaos, representing the light and the dark side. In the campaign mode this option is disabled, so if you make a mistake here you would have to restart the game and try again. However, the developers did include an undo button, so if you´re the kind of person who doesn´t want to play a chess game fair and square, there is always the possibility to think and reconsider your moves. While the AI opponent makes some funny and unexplainable moves sometimes, which can be quite annoying, because it looks like the AI is lost for moves, it is versatile when you don´t have your important pieces covered, resulting in a loss in no time. One silly mistake can determine whether you win or lose the game. The more challenging difficulties require more thinking. On the easier difficulties it is not too hard to beat the opponent. Also there are madness modes, where the complete board looks like it has been hit by a giant tornado.

One can choose to play a mode where the pieces are placed tactical. The game offers various chess modes apart from the original game. It is a collection full of challenges that will probably amuse chess-lovers for some time. Battle vs Chess is about 1.2 Gigabyte, which makes it more then just a chessgame. Some of the puzzles can be solved in one turn, while others require complex thinking and can even challenge the most experienced players. The game offers a variety of game modes and challenging puzzles, along with various minigames and a campaign mode. However, Battle vs Chess is not just a remake of these games. In each of the versions the chess pieces came alive and destroyed the opponents pieces. Later the game came out in various versions. A chess game where you can destroy your opponents with brute force.īattle vs Chess reminds the player of Battle Chess, an old game that could be played on the Commodore Amiga, 3DO, MS-DOS, Apple IIgs, Commodore 64, Amiga CDTV, CD32, Atari ST and Apple Macintosh.
