Cooperative Chess offers a unique twist on traditional chess, transforming it into a cooperative puzzle game that encourages teamwork and strategic thinking.
The game can be fun and engaging when played with friends, providing a different experience that relies on anticipating each other's moves.
It's free to play, making it accessible for anyone interested in trying out a new take on chess without any financial commitment.

The game suffers from poor design decisions, such as a lack of pre-planning and restrictive movement mechanics that can lead to frustrating gameplay experiences.
Many players have reported bugs and matchmaking issues, making it difficult to enjoy the game or find opponents to play with.
Despite its interesting concept, the execution feels amateurish and lacks the depth and polish expected from a well-developed game.
