It seemed like such a good idea: a chess like game where different pieces have different strategic advantages. Once you move to take another piece you enter a different screen where you battle it out with your opponent in real time. Different pieces have different strengths and weaknesses when fighting others. While all of this sounds good, the execution of this idea failed and we are left with a game that seems like it should be a lot of fun, but it is not. It was a valiant effort though.
