    It's an okay survivor-like game. I enjoyed the chess enemies and how the game incorporates chess. I wish we were able to see where the enemies were planning on moving next turn. Often times it felt like I was "randomly" getting attacked because I couldn't tell where the enemies were going to go.

    It's... okay. Not being able to see the moves the enemies will take really makes it hard, once the game gets moving there's so much happening at once it's hard to predict anything. A lot of chaos, and given that its supposed to be turn based, but fast, it feels like im pressured into making mistakes frequently.
