"Pure Chess looks gorgeous, and offers an excellent single-player experience. But while playing the AI opponent is fun, the game's woefully underdeveloped online mode makes playing against humans decidedly not."

About

FPS Chess turns the classic board game into a chaotic shootout. Each chess piece swaps pawns for guns: rooks line up sniper shots, queens spray bullets, and kings swing swords. You jockey for strategic positions while ducking fire, aiming to checkmate without getting blasted first. The result is a frantic mix of tactical planning and reflex-based chaos, all played on a grid. This experimental title has earned a 8.5/10 average on Steam from 2,300 players. What sets it apart is the absurd contrast between methodical chess and sudden violent eruptions. The king’s 5-second sword swipe takedowns and the bishop’s rocket launcher diagonal strafing create hilarious mismatches between tradition and mayhem. Best played in short bursts with friends, it’s a clever twist that reimagines board game etiquette with a blood-soaked edge.
