Great game! Really fun to play with friends!
Crazy idea but it works, the gameplay is very solid and fast and graphics and ui are sleek. I’ve always been interested in chess but it feels so intimidating, Checkmate Kings is able to capture the game’s aesthetic but without needing a phd to have a blast. Grab a friend and you’ve got lots of hours of fun! I’ve been playing with my friends nonstop since we bought it, and we just can’t stop.
Very fun, hectic and addictive! I wish more people bought it cause it's hard to find online matches, if you want to play against me add me! P.S. Mansa Musa is broken pls nerf
Checkmate Kings is a brilliant game that combines some harmonic elements together in an expected way! It deserves more support!
Maybe I missed the point, but this game is not fun, nor is it remotely like chess.
Super fun game to play with a friend! Once you master a little bit the main mechanics, it becomes very satisfying! And I love the art of the main characters! :D
Lovely But Glaring problems PROS - Cute Cosmetics are great - Fun (Especially with friends [but i don't have any]) - Simple to understand CONS - Priced a little too high for what it is (recommend $5) - Good luck ever finding someone to play with online - At least in my opinion sometimes it feels like they should've been hit an aren't Conclusion: I really enjoyed it for a bit but I 100% the game in 92 minutes. cant wait to see more from the devs or even some updates I even have a couple of ideas for gamemodes if the devs were interested in making some updates
