Game Info

Commanders, assemble your armies! BATTLE VS. CHESS calls for an interactive feather duster, chartering the successful chess game principle into the present day multi-media world.
Animated fantasy figurines assemble in magical worlds and await your command! As a Commander, execute skillful maneuvers on the game board and catapult yourself directly into the battle with devastating attacks, chessman vs. chessman.

Gameplay

Chess – the unrivalled champion of strategy games has been attracting players of all ages for countless centuries.
BATTLE vs. CHESS is based on the simple yet ingenious concept of creating a fusion between professional chess software and upbeat, combat oriented game mechanics, complete with richly
animated game pieces.
At the outset of a match things seem quite basic: a 3D game board pits two opponents against each other in a seemingly ordinary game of chess. The game board itself is set in one of six
available environments, each with its own unique landscape and presentation features. Traditionally recognized game pieces have been given a facelift as hulking stone golems and beastly chimaeras take the place of the typical rook and knight pieces respectively.

The groundbreaking introduction of vivid 3D conflict animations and optional action integration elements provide a very special breath of fresh air to the classic game of chess. Employing ChessBase’s world renowned FRITZ! chess algorithm software, widely regarded as one of the most sophisticated chess engines in the world, even the most experienced chess experts will be presented with a daunting challenge.

Features
  • 2 gripping strategy campaigns with 30 missions and different mission goals
  • Interactive 3rd person action mode and Beat'em up fights with each character in six different gameboard environments
  • Cinematic quality animated sequences pull players into the game action
  • Challenging PvP duels together on one PC or console, over LAN or Internet
  • Utilizing the famous Fritz! chess algorithm, equipped with 10 distinct levels of difficulty, as well as an extensive opening library
