I only would like an “undo” button. ### 5/5 — gg *2020-11-06* It’s a good game. I played it on somebody else’s device and decided I had to get it for myself!

This variation of the game is so much fun. ### 5/5 — Plunder my brain! *2020-09-17* Love this variation to the game I love.....can’t get enough! ### 5/5 — PlunderChess *2020-06-15* Fun variation to the game of chess. Play against a friend (while they are with you) or play against a computer with varying degrees of difficulty. The app also has puzzle packs for practice which are cool. ### 5/5 — Lots of fun! *2020-06-15* Love this variation of chess! ### 5/5 — Good *2018-01-27, version 1.9* I like it ### 5/5 — Awesome new game! *2015-08-01, version 1.7* Plunderchess is a lot of fun. It adds a whole new twist to the game. I like how one main plunder can really spice things up on the board! ### 5/5 — Genius idea *2015-04-13, version 1.3* Great game ### 5/5 — Amazing *2015-04-12, version 1.3* Easily the best chess app on the market right now. ### 5/5 — Playa *2014-03-22, version 1.1* Great game! It's easy to catch on to and a completely new way to look to look at chess. Awesome game. ### 5/5 — Woah *2014-03-22, version 1.1* Total twist on the game. It messes with all of my skills ### 5/5 — Lots of fun!!! *2014-02-28, version 1.0* I really like playing Chess, but this game takes Chess to a new level. Having the ability to move as the piece you capture is an amazing twist. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — BUNZ *2025-05-10* You need to add a clock my opponents just wouldn’t move this app is so bunz this game is more bunz than a hamburger I am personally offended by this game I have never seen such a bunz app in my life if I could give this app 0-5 I would if I were to describe this app in one word it would be bunz ### 1/5 — Could be neat *2024-08-12, version 1.23.1* The Piece move animations are unbearably slow, and there is no option to speed it up. Takes like 4 seconds each turn. Basically making the entire game unplayable. Pls fix, imitate lichess or chess.com a bit ### 3/5 — App is buggy *2025-06-08* I like the game but the app has UX issues. Too many to list. Here is one: if I turn off sound in your app settings, it means I probably want to listen to my music app while I’m in your app. ### 4/5 — Cool game *2025-05-10* Really cool game concept. The online pairing tool appears to still be in progress, and does not indicate how long it might take to find an opponent or let you abort the game. but I’m sure that will be fixed soon. ### 4/5 — Yes! *2014-03-10, version 1.0* I've been waiting forever! Ever since I heard about it :) I'll tell everyone I know! However, it needs a computer version and needs to be quicker when asking to accept or remove a vest! ### 5/5 — Fun application *2025-11-23* Easy to use and give an extra road to think ### 5/5 — Good one *2025-11-23* Good for beginner and play with the unknown opponent without a board with the help of this app ### 5/5 — the best chess game *2025-11-23* to be honest, this game has been a blast, it is really thought out and it is a nice variant from normal chess. this game is a really fun and i really recommend it. ### 5/5 — Very cool and fun take on Chess. *2025-05-11* Very cool and fun take on Chess. My kid discovered it and really enjoys it. It takes a second to get used to the rules, but once you got it, it’s time to plunder! ### 5/5 — Creative for kids. *2025-05-11* We know this APP during the super nationals VIII. My kids really like it! ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This is awesome *2025-05-10* This the most fun variant of chess I have every played. Seriously please try it out ### 5/5 — Very fun *2025-05-10* recently played Plunder Chess, and honestly—it’s one of the most fun chess variants I’ve tried in a while. If you’re used to traditional chess and want to shake things up without completely throwing out the rules, this might be exactly what you need. The concept is clever: when you capture a piece, your piece can “plunder” its movement ability for later use. So suddenly, your rook might have a one-time bishop move, or your pawn might move like a knight. It sounds chaotic—and it kind of is—but in the best way. What I really liked is how it forced me to think in a completely new way. I couldn’t just calculate standard tactics; I had to constantly ask myself, “What does that piece also have up its sleeve?” It keeps you on your toes, and the surprise factor makes even casual games feel intense. That said, it’s not for everyone. If you’re a chess purist or training for serious tournaments, this might mess with your fundamentals a bit. And yeah, the game can spiral into madness if both players start stacking abilities in creative (or weird) ways. But if you go into it for fun, it’s a blast. ### 5/5 — Fun game, addicted. *2025-05-10* Game is extremely fun to play, app is very well developed. ### 5/5 — ❤️PlunderChess‼️ *2025-05-10* Love this Chess variant!!

I look forward to mastering it and teaching it to our members at workshop. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
