Chess Arena

Beschreibung auf Englisch

A Chinese indie game that combines Xiangqi, Chinese Chess, with a fighting or beat 'em up game. The chess component follows the standard rules, except for the removal of check/checkmate. Instead of a piece being taken the game enters an arena mode and the two pieces fight with a top-down perspective to decide on the result. Each piece plays differently due to their attacks and abilities. The losing piece is destroyed but a pieces health is persistent making repeated fights dangerous. The game's single player has 50 levels that consist of games in various stages of play that must be completed in order to unlock the next level. The online multiplayer is player hosted which reveals the hosts IP address if used.
