Chessarama borrows time-tested systems from centuries ago, using them to craft refreshing, inventive, and visually appealing puzzles. These challenges compel chess enthusiasts to contemplate the game in a slightly different manner, while newcomers might find themselves drawn to a new hobby. It's not a game you finish and set aside in an hour because it's brimming with content and is so addictive that it pleasantly robs you of many late evenings.
If you’re looking for another way to learn chess, Chessarama will definitely give you a unique insight into each piece and its moves. Just like chess itself, the game’s small but challenging puzzles will test your ability to think ahead and plan your strategy. While I might call Chessarama a puzzle game first and a chess simulation second, either way, it’s a refreshing and fun bit of puzzle strategy fun.
A puzzle game that experiments with the rules of chess in various thematic and improbable situations, offering many hours of content and some great puzzles, but suffering from problems of visual design, a poor interface, a slow start, and a very irregular translation.
Chessarama converts the tactical and strategic appeal of chess into a charming and brain-teasing puzzler successfully. It loses its Queen thanks to some minor technical hiccups and occasionally widely volatile difficulty curve, but there are more than enough pieces remaining to see it achieve a comfortable victory. Not quite a grandmaster, but an adept newcomer’s spin on the timeless game of chess.
Chessarama delivers some great puzzle design, with delightful visuals and inventive ways of teaching you chess concepts as you play. It’s missing the attention to detail that could make it really shine, but it’s a charming package that’s easy to recommend for anyone who enjoys chess puzzles or who is interested in learning more about the game. Just don’t expect it to replace your chess.com subscription.
