Our take on Schachkampf - Fantasy Chess
Rather than centering on a conventional chess match format, this game puts repeated puzzle runs alongside chess play. Its JRPG-inspired presentation, selectable starting setups, and sideways board view depart from a standard chess interface.
What is Schachkampf - Fantasy Chess?
Schachkampf - Fantasy Chess combines chess puzzles and matches with JRPG-inspired visuals.
Each map run contains 54 puzzles, ranging from mate in 1 to mate in 4, and a new run draws another set from a pool of over 3,000,000 puzzles. Players can select from 100 AI difficulty levels and unlock 12 boards and up to 12 starting variations. Matches can use a classic chess view or a sideways view, with an optional overlay identifying the chess pieces.
