Battle Chess

"Battle Chess" is a historical strategy game that was first released in the late 1980s, gaining popularity for its unique feature of animating battles between chess pieces. The game, developed by Interplay, saw two sequels and many imitators, leading to a remake for Steam. Despite its success, "Battle Chess" was criticized for its weak chess AI, which was not consistently competitive until the mid 1990s. The game offers both single-player and multi-player modes.
