Slow, laggy, battery12%

8 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ great game but animations and menus need too skip and go faster over half the game is in redunantly slow menus and load ins.
★★★★★ no undo button for misplay, drag animation is laggy/finicky & easy to misplace units im on a zfold7, there's no "device" excuse.
★★★★★ Tries very hard to look like balatro too, at the cost of my battery life.
Bugs, things not working9%

6 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I believe there is some dangerous tech amongst this app as i have to get a new phone now (super glitchy now)
★★★★★ Balatro-like, but in chess, very nice, BUT there's a bug ruining my experience: yesterday I started a game in the KING difficulty.
★★★★★ games fun but I keep encountering bugs, and I dislike the crumble thing, this game probably runs better ok anything but phones, would recommend
Lost data, sync, backup7%

★★★★★ game is fun but consistantly broke my phone is really bad ways where i would have to conpletely restart the phone after watching it take a seizure for 10 minutes, has happened multiple times and there were a couple…
★★★★★ You're limited to to only a few so the joy of triggering a bunch of different effects in a run is lost.
★★★★★ when it's your first turn, you will lose one as the opponent's setup is impossible to penetrate.
Limits, credits, locked features6%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The limit to gambits really make this game mediocre.
★★★★★ Now I even got soft locked in the very last stage...
★★★★★ Not enough variety, especially with the tokens.
Missing features6%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I can see what they were trying to do, and it could have been good but it's missing a key element that changes it from a random number generator with graphics in to a game
★★★★★ Biggest issue I feel this game are there no way to get consistent play while upgrading took lots of resources and you earn very little.
★★★★★ Each feels linear and they lack any kind of interesting end game options.
Crashes and freezes3%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ doesn't load progress from pc
★★★★★ incredible game, it is constantly crashing, apart from that I love it!
Wrong or poor results3%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The gameplay random powerups are 90% useless and don't help you progress.
★★★★★ Could also benefit greatly from a "Confirm action" button as it's too easy to move wrong.
