Pawn of the Dead

Adding just one rule to chess makes it a completely different game. Enjoyable strategic depth. Price is low for the graphical fidelity, and it's a very stable game especially for an early access title. Looking forward to the campaign mode to see if an interesting story comes out of this.

Nice chess variant game with some challenging levels. Took me 2.5 hours to complete. I'd like to see some new mechanics and new levels in the future if possible.

Tecrübeli bir satranç oyuncusu olarak oynadım ve oyun beni tatmin etti. Beni en çok etkileyen şey sinematografik olarak kritiğe vurulabilir bir iş ortaya çıkmasıydı. Campaign modu üzerine geliştirmeler yapılırsa daha eğlenceli olabilir. Klasik mod ise açılışlar hariç gayet iyi çalışıyor, fakat yapay zeka taşlarını stratejik olarak geliştirmekte başarısız. Klasik modu da eğlenceli.

First of all, I am impressed with the level of polish the game has compared to the other games in a similar price range. The twist to the classical chess mechanics was quite novel. I am a total chess noob, and things got pretty challenging after a while. Yet, the puzzles seem solvable in the casual difficulty after giving them a couple of shots. The scenario was excellent, and the cutscenes were good. The game offers good entertainment value, especially given the price. I would recommend the game to anyone who enjoys board games and alike. Overall, the game is a rock-solid indie effort that is worthy of attention.

It has amazing cutscenes, This game is great.

[h1]So mediocre that it hurts...[/h1] ... it hurts, because as a Chess game PotD has potential... It's all there: nice graphics and animations, good AI, and the premise forming the base (i.e. black pieces aka zombies converting white pieces into zombies as well instead of capturing them) is awesome and intriguing. But it's all a [u]steaming mess[/u] that's just [u]overall painfully mediocre[/u]: [list] [*]I [u]personally like the graphics[/u], but I have to admit that they're undeniably outdated. Also, the design choices are [u]pleasantly non-grandiose[/u], but defintely weird... The black pieces are your standard undead and necromancers, but... the white king looks like a poor guy pretending to be king; the white queen wears what I can't call neither elegant nor a simple nightgown; the knights and bishops are just humanoids with horse and elephant heads respectively that look incredibly out of place; and whoever designed the rooks needs to perform a drug test asap, because it seems he...

Chess game where if the zombie side captures a piece, they become a zombie, too. To win, you must eliminate all the zombie pieces without losing either your queen or king. Interesting and worth a try.

Pawn of the Dead attempts a simple twist on Chess and supports it with a short story mode. The characters, cutscenes and voice acting in the game are of high quality by indie game standards. The story is interesting but leaves the player wanting more as it's a bit short. The puzzle mechanic is nice and it benefits from every little rule change made to Chess. While the Normal difficulty is a bit too easy for Chess enthuisasts (I haven't played against the Hard difficulty yet.), it might just be the right difficulty for people who are learning Chess. Once the method of solving the puzzles are clear, though, unless you pull yourself into a trap, you'll have no problem beating all the levels. I imagine children could have a lot of fun with this game, with its story and its characters. They have their way of creating their own stories and the randomly generated puzzles could entertain them for long after the story mode is finished. Long story short, I enjoyed my time with Pawn of the Dea...
