    113 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received widespread acclaim, with many users praising the stunning 3D visuals and detailed design of the chess pieces. Players appreciate the ability to switch between 2D and 3D views, enhancing the overall gameplay experience. However, some users noted that while the graphics are impressive, there are still areas for improvement, particularly regarding connectivity and gameplay features.

    • “The 3D graphics enhance the gameplay, creating a visually stunning environment that truly brings the game to life.”

    • “The graphics are crisp and very detailed.”
    • “Gotta be honest, the graphics are arguably okay... these guys have a poor scoring system and one of the major issues is connectivity; your interface can be disconnected from the system and the moment it connects back, you would have lost the match... approximately 40% of the matches I lost were all due to connection inadequacy.”
    • “But now its graphics are good, but it is boring; nothing is new in the game.”
    • “The game is best for chess, but some graphics are poor; no more options available to enjoy this game like themes, colors, etc.”
  • monetization
    106 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the excessive and intrusive nature of ads that disrupt gameplay. Many players express frustration over long, unskippable ads that often lead to connection issues and a poor user experience, with calls for a paid ad-free version or better ad management. While some acknowledge the necessity of ads for a free game, the overwhelming sentiment is that the current implementation detracts from the enjoyment and functionality of the app.

    • “I do appreciate that there are no ads; it's a distraction while you are playing a game.”
    • “I suggest also to make an option for a no-ads one-time purchase.”
    • “At least offer a paid version with no ads.”
    • “Used to be a great chess game, but now the devs saw fit to introduce long, unskippable, and intrusive ads each time a match is finished.”
    • “I used to enjoy this app, but now the excessively intrusive ads make it impossible to take it seriously.”
    • “The game is great; however, there needs to be an option for ad-free gaming, a premium update purchase option to avoid having tons of ads and a quarter of the screen taken by ads; they are annoying.”
  • gameplay
    27 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of this chess game is praised for its good graphics, smooth mechanics, and a variety of modes that cater to both beginners and experienced players. While the multiplayer experience is enjoyable and the ability to record matches is a highlight, users have noted issues such as time limits, disconnection penalties, and a lack of tracking features that could enhance the overall experience. Overall, the gameplay is considered solid, but there are several areas for improvement to make it even better.

    • “This is the best chess game in the world as it has 3D graphics and after the match you can record the gameplay and see it afterwards whenever you want. It has 3 types of boards and white and black pieces, and the crown can be gold or black.”
    • “The variety of gameplay modes and customization options allow players to tailor their experience to their liking, whether they're a beginner or a seasoned chess player.”
    • “The 3D graphics enhance the gameplay, creating a visually stunning environment that truly brings the game to life.”
    • “It would be great if this issue could be addressed to enhance the gameplay experience for both players.”
    • “I really like this game but I've noticed a few things during the gameplay that need to be fixed.”
    • “During the gameplay, the time suddenly ends and the game is lost.”
  • stability
    25 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of the game has received significant criticism, with users reporting frequent glitches, freezing issues, and connection problems, particularly during rematches. Many players have experienced bugs that disrupt gameplay, such as incorrect piece movements and disconnections despite having stable internet. While some updates have improved stability, the overall consensus indicates that the game still suffers from persistent technical issues that detract from the user experience.

    • “The new version appears to be bug-free, unlike earlier versions where players could close the game while losing without any penalty to their points.”
    • “I appreciate the stability improvements; the game runs smoothly without crashes or unexpected errors.”
    • “The latest update has significantly enhanced stability, making for a much more enjoyable gaming experience.”
    • “Rematches are still buggy.”
    • “Feb 2022: now the game freezes too often and has issues with connecting to servers.”
    • “Still buggy and very intrusive ads that keep making the game crash.”
  • music
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users appreciate the in-game music and sound effects, noting that the piece movement music enhances the experience. However, a significant drawback is the inability to play external music while using the app, which has frustrated players who enjoy listening to music during gameplay. This limitation has impacted overall ratings, as many users desire a solution that allows simultaneous audio.

    • “I enjoy the piece movement music and squares.”
    • “You can save replays for later and play online; graphics are also superb for the file size. Not sure if there's any music, but the sound effects are perfect. Cheers to the devs!”
    • “I would have given a 5-star rating, but I like to enjoy my music while playing the game. However, when you open the game app, the music stops. I'm almost sure you can fix that and still have the game sound simultaneously.”
    • “I can't play any music player in the background when I open this app.”
    • “I have a habit of playing chess with music on, but after the recent update, I'm unable to do so.”
    • “However, you can't play music over it.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “It runs smoothly, and they even provide a guide system for beginner players.”

    • “It's a really challenging game worldwide. Overall, it's important to strive for perfect performance in every game, as every moment is crucial in this competitive chess platform that sharpens the mind.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, particularly when navigating through matchmaking lists and scaling the competitive ladder, which can detract from the overall experience.

    • “The ladder is very tedious to scale.”
    • “I use chess apps to play matches with my son when I'm out of town, and it's tedious looking through the list that sometimes doesn't show us each other.”
