What’s your stance on chess? Boring game for eggheads? A pastime of the Wu-Tang Clan? Something you’ve always meant to play but never got your head around? Perhaps Chessarama might be the game that sways you?
So many questions.
Developed by Minimol Games, in partnership with SMG Studio (Moving Out, OTTTD), this is a ‘unique anthology’ of chess-inspired puzzle games, covering six single-player variations.
Chessarama applies the traditional movesets to its pieces but with handcrafted levels such as a Dragon Slayer mode in which you move a pawn to the end of the board to kill the dragon, or in the feudal Japan Lady Ronin set, you have to assassinate all pieces to get to the shogun. Could we finally have a successor to Battle Chess?
Key features in Chessarama include:
- Play all original and exclusive chess-inspired games available in Chessarama
- Learn and practice many chess skills: strategic thinking, tactics, visualization, grid geometry and much more
- Unique art style comprised of beautiful dioramas
- High replay value with online leaderboards
- Learn chess movements, tactics and strategies through a modern video game experience
- Also includes “vanilla chess” for oldschool purists

Chessarama is coming to PC and the Xbox this autumn.
