Since there are six types of pieces for each color, and a king cannot capture a king, there are 35 battle animations. Its remake, Battle Chess: Game of Kings, was released on Steam (software) on March 16, 2014. No matter who you play against, you will always be on your toes with this strategy game. Battle Chess was critically acclaimed and commercially successful, resulting in two official follow-ups as well as several inspired games. You can also take turns playing with someone else, letting you play against family or friends using this digital chess set. The AI has over 30,000 moves, and will keep you occupied no matter what you throw at it. If you love the idea of Battle Chess but are looking for something with better graphics, they did a remake called Battle Chess: Game of Kings which brings the same cult classic with new eye-popping 3D battle sequences. They are about on level with graphics from the original Monkey Island. An apocryphal story of the development was the invention of «The Duck» (an example of Parkinsons law of triviality): The producers of the game were known to demand changes to the game, presumably to make their mark on the finished product. These animations alone can add extra entertainment, as you work to try and play the game in such a way that you can see all the different animations.Īlthough the graphics are sub par for what we are used to today, they are still cute for pixel art. There’s even a reference to the hit Monty Python classic, where two knights engage in battle and one loses all limbs but refuses to give up.

If a rook takes the queen for example, he devours her. Each of the animations in the game are unique.
