War Chess

The game of War Chess is essentially a game of chess. However, it is presented innovatively. The High Fantasy theme is reflected throughout the game’s aesthetic, from the props to the characters. Whites are depicted as armies made up of humans and elves working together, while the forces of the undead primarily represent blacks. The participant can select one of 11 different settings from which the match will take place. Forest, Desert, Ice and Lava, Dragon Cave, and other environments fall under this category. The settings and the individual components are all generated in complete 3D, and the camera may be rotated in all directions. The game includes a difficulty scale for the single-player experience, considering the player’s experience level and expertise. In addition, War Chess features a multiplayer option in which two players can compete against one another either locally on the same computer or remotely over the internet. The Battlechess series is a clear source of inspiration for this game; however, the game does not have individual animations for the various types of encounters that might occur on the chessboard. Each component features two animations—one for fighting and the other for passing away. They do not change in any way based on the nature of the work they are competing against.
