XOX Arena

Features
Read full description

X-O-X Taktik Arena, klasik X-O oyununa yepyeni bir strateji dokunuşu getirir. Bu oyunda amaç yine 3’lü çizgi yapmak; ancak klasik X-O’dan farklı olarak her oyuncunun tahtada aynı anda en fazla 3 taşı bulunabilir. 4. taşı koyduğunda, o oyuncunun en eski taşı tahtadan silinir. Böylece tahta sürekli değişir, oyun tıkanmaz ve her tur yeni bir taktik fırsatı doğar. Öne çıkan özellikler: • 3x3 hızlı strateji oynanışı • Her oyuncu için 3 taş limiti • 4. taşta en eski taşın otomatik silinmesi • Beraberliksiz, dinamik oyun yapısı • Kolay, Orta ve Zor AI rakip seviyeleri • Aynı cihazda 2 kişilik oyun modu • 1, 3, 5, 7 veya 10 puanlık maç hedefleri • Neon tarzda modern ve şık arayüz • Ses, müzik ve tema ayarları Tek başına AI rakibe karşı becerini test et veya arkadaşınla aynı cihazda hızlı ve taktiksel düellolara gir. X-O-X Taktik Arena’da her hamle önemlidir. Taşlarını doğru zamanda yerleştir, rakibinin planını boz ve değişen tahtada galibiyete ulaş. 3 taş. Değişen tahta. Bitmeyen düello.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: XOX Arena at none against Master Chess's shown. XOX Arena also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months). Master Chess's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
