The game in chess is toy nowadays: just shoot at the browser, go to the ports or six.com, and the world is your oyster. But even when time-honored chess videos have fallen in the margins, there are many entertaining varieties of the theme to experience.

From Roguelites to Puzzle games, management titles and even fantasy RPG, there are many great chess video games. Here is my first five.

The Black King leaves himself in his castle, and the entire White Army is based on their home. Fortunately, he still has its royal shotgun.

Extremely stupid concept, which is a surprisingly entertaining Roguelite puzzle, in which you alternately move the king and shooting at a trusted shotgun. Improvements and strange alternative rules raise the challenge and factor of pleasure, ensuring that your clash with the white counterpart will be a duel to remember.

If you are not sure how well the firearms mix with chess joy, it is Demo on Steam You can try.

Majestic chess

I give exactly zero percent opportunities that you’ve heard about this game before. It is a pity, because it is such a charming and nice mix of fantasy and chess, and although it is clearly targeted at children in a tone, it is a surprisingly entertaining Romp and a great way to make amends even the concept of the royal game.

And hey, if you really are good in the game, it is a pleasant game for afternoon pleasure.

Kung-Fu chess

Chess without real-time phrases is a stupid concept, but a huge amount of fun in multiplayer. To say, there are still some time restrictions and sequencing to keep in mind: many elements cannot be transferred at the same time, and a low delay before you can move again.

There is no control and there is no impassive rule – as in most chess variants, your goal is to capture the opponent’s king. The beginnings of Kung-Fu chess date back to the early 2000s, and this multimove variant has a fairly significant depth and high level of game.

5d chess with many travels in time

I am not very proud to admit it: this game broke my brain and that’s why I have very little real commentary on offer. The title says that that’s all: you play many simultaneous chess games at different times and boards and you have to win once to win everywhere.

Although you can play games against the computer yourself, which I found the most pleasant way to commit Chess master He was supposed to play the mode in which you are asked to introduce movement in critical situations. In this way, your low -level player will make great mistakes against powerful opposition, and the emerging puzzle situations are really convincing because you watched the whole match flourish in front of you. Once again there is a demo to be considered.

Pawnbarian

Another puzzle of Rogualite on the road. Pawnbarian It is a completely maneuverable romance with cards and updating mechanics, which makes him a much stronger puzzle than King of the shotgunAnd with much smaller whim.
