Great news for chess enthusiasts and puzzle lovers alike! The intriguing Chessarama, a unique collection of chess-inspired puzzle games developed by Minimol Games and SMG Studio, is set to launch on both the Nintendo Switch and PS5 this April 17. It’s definitely something worth checking out!
Chessarama offers a creative twist on traditional chess by incorporating a variety of different themes and strategies, breathing new life into the classic game. Each mini-game has its own distinct set of rules and visual style, promising a series of fresh, handcrafted challenges that await your skills.
Here’s a peek into the captivating games Chessarama offers: you’ll find (1) Farm Life, (2) Dragon Slayers, (3) Street Soccer, (4) Lady Ronin, (5) Last Stand, (6) Knight Supreme, (7) Pawn Mania, and (8) Soccer Chess—each with a new twist.
Let’s dive deeper into some highlights:
In Dragon Slayer, the quest is to maneuver your pawn to the end of a path to bring down a daunting dragon. But tread carefully! With every pawn move, the dragon strikes the board, and unguarded pieces will meet their doom.
Meanwhile, Lady Ronin cleverly combines Chess with Sokoban. As a Ronin, portrayed by a chess queen, your mission is to eliminate adversaries to confront and defeat the Shogun. While the pieces adhere to their chess movements, they also interact like in Sokoban.
Soccer Chess lets you engage in a thrilling soccer match with chess pieces. Strategy is key here, as you’ll need to anticipate several moves ahead to breach defenses and score that winning goal.
These examples just scratch the surface of how Chessarama reinvents the game of chess. Get ready to explore a whole new chess experience!
