Minimol Games and SMG Studio are gearing up to release their intriguing chess-inspired puzzle collection, Chessarama, on both the Nintendo Switch and PS5 this April 17th. This unique game invites players to experience a fresh take on the classic strategies of chess.
Chessarama reinterprets traditional chess tactics by offering a series of themed puzzles and strategy challenges, each with its own distinctive set of rules and handcrafted obstacles. The game includes a variety of titles, such as Farm Life, Dragon Slayers, Street Soccer, Lady Ronin, Last Stand, Knight Supreme, Pawn Mania, and Soccer Chess.
In Dragon Slayer, players must cleverly navigate their pawn through a hazardous path to take down a powerful dragon. The challenge ramps up with each pawn’s move, as the dragon retaliates, threatening defenseless pieces. Lady Ronin offers a fusion of chess and the classic Sokoban mechanics, where a Ronin moves like a queen, pushing and eliminating pieces to reach and defeat the Shogun.
Soccer Chess challenges you to score goals using chess pieces, requiring strategic foresight to penetrate your opponent’s defenses. These examples highlight the innovative ways Chessarama reinvents the game of chess.
Key features of Chessarama include eight exclusive games, over 100 puzzle campaign levels with numerous unique challenges, and 24 collectible chess figures. The game showcases a stunning art style with dioramic visuals and offers both daily and weekly challenges. Players can climb leaderboards while learning chess moves and strategies through this modern gaming experience. To top it off, there’s a classic chess mode included, perfect for applying new strategies learned throughout gameplay.
Whether you’re a seasoned chess enthusiast or new to the game, Chessarama promises a fresh and exciting way to engage with this timeless board game.
