4/10
- game speed is slooooow even at the max you can speed it up with the game to 4
used 3rd party program to play even faster and make it bearable

This game is a typical deck builder slash roguelike. The deck builder is selecting cards that represent chess pieces to place and roguelike to unlock new pieces with untypical chess moves. You can only place pieces next to your king, which forces you to move your king often to get new pieces close to the enemy king. I think this concept sounds cool on paper.

Unfortunately, this game has a 4x animation speed ... it needs like a 16x. Soooo slow ... and the music is atrocious. The game seems to be locked to fullscreen at 60 fps. I really want to play games like this in windowed mode at a lower resolution.

It needs more TLC on the UX. I feel like this sort of lazy/generic presentation of the game could really benefit from better visuals to draw more interest. But I feel really annoyed that I have to stare at a nearly completely static screen with the music muted.

I got it in a bundle, but I don't know if it has legs for me. I really wish steam had a meh button, but I think there is enough to dislike here to give it a no.
