Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking full chess matches may find the focus on guiding the King through puzzles too narrow.
- Players who prefer to plan on a static board may hit a wall when every piece moves each second.
Our take on Chess Brain: Dark Troops
The bounce point is the one-second movement cycle: every piece moves while a route is being planned. Players who need a static board to calculate a path may struggle once opposing pieces start changing position.
