Description

"Battle vs. Chess" for the Nintendo Wii is an innovative adaptation of the classic game of chess, blended with elements of action and adventure games, bringing a fresh perspective to the centuries-old strategy game. Developed by Targem Games and published by TopWare Interactive, this title was released to revitalize the conventional chess experience with a dynamic battlefield setting where pieces come to life. Each chess piece is uniquely animated to reflect typical battle characteristics, moving away from the static gameplay of traditional chess. Players can engage in classic chess matches or delve into the game's campaign mode, which features numerous challenges and puzzle-based scenarios.

The game incorporates various modes of play, including "Battle Mode" which transforms the game into a real-time strategy experience. Here, when pieces confront one another on the board, players can take direct control, turning the encounter into an action-packed battle. This adds a distinctive twist to the game, requiring not just strategic prowess in traditional chess but also quick reflexes and tactical decision-making during confrontations. The compatibility with the Wii's motion controls makes these segments particularly engaging, allowing for a more immersive experience. "Battle vs. Chess" also includes a multiplayer feature, both local and online, enabling players to challenge opponents across the globe, making it a diverse and multifaceted addition to both the library of chess games and the Nintendo Wii console.
