Battle Chess

Publisher: Electronic Arts · Developer: Interplay · Genre: Strategy

Battle Chess brings the classic board game to life in an unusual way. Instead of abstract pieces, animated characters march across the board. When one captures another, the move turns into a short battle, with unique animations for each piece combination. This makes every match more lively and humorous, while the chess mechanics remain intact. Behind the animations lies a solid chess game with a large opening library and ten difficulty levels, offering variety for both beginners and experienced players. For those who prefer a traditional style, a simple 2D view is also available.
