In this hectic world we live in, many times work and appointments must come before the fun and joys in our lives, including that of getting to play videogames whenever we want. Gone are the days when we could fire up a game of our choice and spend hours toiling away – now we seem to game in stolen moments here and there. With that in mind, perhaps it is no wonder that casual games have become such a popular gaming choice (especially with women who make up the vast majority of casual game players), as casual games allow us to either jump in and get those quick fixes of gaming bliss or either play them for as long as we want when we do have the time. In honor of the casual game, we’ll be bringing you a new Casual Game of the Week every Monday to help you find that fix you might be needing in your life, and this week we have: War Chess
I remember playing an old battle chess game for the NES and having a great time, so when I heard about the premise and gameplay behind War Chess, I thought surely I’d run across the reincarnation of that once heralded game that my brother and me loved playing so much. After firing up War Chess and jumping into my first game, however, I knew all too quickly that things weren’t the same at all, and that this definitely wasn’t up to par like the game I liked way back then.
War Chess is basically the game of chess – nothing more and nothing less. The gameplay remains the same, where you use a variety of pieces that can move in specific directions or a specific number of squares. The ultimate goal of the game is to capture your opponent’s king, placing them into a state of check or checkmate so that you can win. Unlike some games that take the old formula and tweak it a bit for an updated release, here chess is still very much chess, and the only thing really different about this chess and others is the fact that it has “war” in the title and that pieces actually move and do a very quick fight or attack to represent the pieces eliminating each other.
