A Splendid Review!

For quite a bit of the Viking chess games this has to be the most polished one.

Love it

Really fun to play

Challenging Game

First game victory - great concept - enjoyed the game more than standard Persian chess

Computer Player needs some work on 3rd difficulty

I found a feedback loop where the king just kept jumping from one side of the board to the other because it had me in a position where if I didn’t defend it could win. It wouldn’t make another move, just aggressively tried to push the corner even if it lead to no new moves. Seems like an easy fix, just add a code limiter to seek new moves if stalemate occurs. I can tell the developers actually care and do update the game because some of the reviews have been corrected already. Other than this, it seems great. Thanks for the hard work

Fun game

I like this game and love playing it online, though I would like for there to be an option for the 9x9 board too instead of just the 11x11 and 7x7 boards.
