Our take on Chess Knight 2
The learning aids and casual presentation make chess more approachable, but the focus on standard matches limits the broader variety of modes, settings, and gameplay found in larger strategy games.
What is Chess Knight 2?
Chess Knight 2 presents chess as a casual strategy game in a medieval-themed setting.
Players can compete against the computer or another person, choose from four difficulty levels, and use either a top-down 2D view or an animated 3D presentation. The game includes an introduction to chess and a visual aid showing which moves are legal during play. Recent moves can be undone. Animated chess pieces provide additional visual presentation, while single-player and two-player modes support matches against either a computer-controlled opponent or a friend or relative.
