Battle Chess

Command a medieval army across an angled 3D chessboard in Battle Chess. When a piece captures an opponent, the warriors fight on the board with animated strikes, hit reactions, blood effects and death sequences.

PLAY OFFLINE
The rules engine, computer opponent, character models and effects are included in the game. No account or connection is needed to play.

CHOOSE YOUR OPPONENT
Face the computer at Squire, Knight or Warlord difficulty. Or select 1v1 · Same device and take turns with a friend. Local 1v1 uses one device and does not offer online matchmaking or two-phone multiplayer.

COMMAND THE BOARD
Drag your warriors to highlighted legal squares, or tap to select and move. The camera rotates smoothly between players. Keep a fixed view or flip the board manually if you prefer. Undo moves and resume your locally saved battle.

MEDIEVAL COMBAT
Textured warriors represent the chess ranks. Rooks transform into jagged stone golems during combat. Explore 30 matchups in the combat gallery or skip a capture animation to continue play.
