The classical game of chess... now with Samurai Warriors! Play chess against your friends or versus the computer, unlock new scenarios and chess pieces and prove yourself to be a real Samurai.
Warning: Asset Flip!
Samurai Chess is a Digital Homicide style asset flip, or what Valve calls a "Fake Game". The "developer" paid for/pirated a few Unity asset store packs, dumped them all in a blender, and submitted it to Valve as if they're real game developers.
Two notable criteria for what makes an asset flip instead of legitimate use of stock...
On the positives. I love the art style, the artistic direction, the sound the environment and everything this game has to offer vibe wise. I'd love to recommend the game but it has a couple major problems.
-The ai does not recognize some mates for example the king rook vs king mate and scholar's mate. I don't know if it's random, a bug or anything else...
1. Standard chess game/rules.
2. The graphics are low-poly, but still nice to look at.
3. Soft background music is relaxing.
4. Plenty of options for time, difficulty, piece appearance, board location, and style of play.
5. The more you play (and the more you win), the more goodies you unlock (such as piece appearances and board locations).
The AI difficulty level seems broken. Even on Novice, the AI is extremely aggressive and can easily take me out within 5 turns. I didn't notice any difference between the 3 difficulty levels at all. Note: I'm not good at chess, and bought this hoping to practice up, but it's just too difficult. I got it for a few bucks, so I won't be too critical -...
Brilliant idea of setting a traditional chess game with a samurai theme. The pleasure of capturing the pieces has reached a new level!
