How it differs

Game Start With Stat ScreenShot

  • Traditional chess pieces are unbalanced. In Chess RPG, chess pieces have health points (HP), attack and defense. There are also more chess pieces and a bigger board. This system helps balance the different types chess pieces and calls for new strategies even for experienced players.
  • The game ends when a player's King dies. There is no "check" or "checkmate" warnings since Kings don't die on 1 hit.

Tile Highlighting

  • When a defending unit survives an attack, the attacking unit is moved to 1 space away from the defending unit. The knight is an exception because it is a range unit.
