Chess Remix - Chess variants Reviews

Chastity's Chess Review: Chess Remix Strengths It offers standard Chess but also the largest list of variants of any game on Steam, including Chess960, Crazyhouse, Atomic, Absorption, Elimination, Capture the Leader, Losing Chess, Three Check Chess, Pocket Knights, Shatar, No Check Chess, En Passant is forced, and the ability to create customized rules of each of these. Also included are the 3 main Asian variants: Shogi, Xiangqi, and Janggi. Historical Chess games and other non-chess games like Tic-Tac-Toe and Checkers It offers a customizable theme appearance for backgrounds and pieces. Weaknesses Not all features are fully implemented, such as the "levels section". This will probably be fixed in future updates. The artificial intelligence is rather weak and may be okay for people who don't play very well but disappointing to skilled chess players. This AI can be improved using fairy stockfish if the developer wishes. Conclusion This game is worth the price if you are a hard core chess player or play other board games involving strategy. It's also for the creative types who want to make their own rules and create board games and test them with AI. I will update this review as needed when future updates are made.

Worth a Buy. Fun to play the included Chess Variants. Many old and unusual versions. Also can visit https://chessremix.app/discover to add more new games using a code in game. Plus you can create new Pieces ,with game art or your own art with new moves. AND you do the same with Boards and Rules.

Shogi rules are not fully implemented. A piece has the option to promote if any part of its move is in the promotion zone. https://www.shogi.cz/en/rules In order to recommend this program the rules of the games need to be fully implemented. Seeing that the issue with Shogi rules has been fixed I can recommend this program. I am a big fan of Chess variants. I also like that the developer is actively still working on the program. One feature that would be helpful for me would be the option to show the pieces in the Asian Chess variants as they actually appear in sets in their home countries. I find it easier to visualize Shogi if kanji is used this is especially true in the larger Shogi variants. A feature that would make Shogi appeal to even more players would be to implement the handicap system. Weaker players could then play at the higher levels. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handicap_(shogi)#Official_handicaps

Its a decent game, Though i would recommend for a sale before buying this game, this game offers a lot of chess variants. And you can make your own as well and pieces. So if you're really into that. This game could be worth the price. if not then wait for a sale
