    Fun chess Rogelite with some interesting chess changes - nothing too crazy that is doesn't feel like chess still. The devs keep an eye out on difficulty for bosses and AI improvements and do a good job of looking at the "bugs/issues" reported (in game button).

    I like the game, but it is unplayable after level 15. Its the same identical levels, just with less pieces and options. Means it all comes down to a less than 1% chance of a perfect randomly generated play through which allows you to win. Balance issues.
