Our take on Chinese Chess
Its focus on a single Chinese chess format keeps the rules and objective narrow, but leaves little room for campaign variety or broader strategy systems. Online play also depends on finding an opponent, which can make multiplayer less immediate.
What is Chinese Chess?
Chinese Chess is a board game based on checkmating the opposing general.
It includes a chessboard, pieces, and a basic scene with furniture. Single-player mode supports computer-controlled opponents. Internet multiplayer allows matches with other players, although starting a match may require arranging a game with a friend. Steam achievements are included. Steam Workshop lets players create and upload custom AI designs and scenes. The vendor notes that the computer should support Unicode.
