War Chess is a basically a chess game with a unusual presentation. All the
set pieces for the game are substituted for the character of the High Fantasy
setting. Whites are pictured as joined armies of humans and elves, while
blacks are mostly represented by the undead forces. The player has an ability
to choose from 11 various location for the match to take place. Those include:
Forest, Desert, Ice and Lava, Dragon Cave etc. All the environments and pieces
are rendered in full 3D with a fully rotatable camera.

For the single playing experience the game provides a difficulty slider to
account for gamer’s proficiency skill. Additionally War Chess offers a
multiplayer mode for two players to battle each other as at one PC so as over
the network.

The game obviously takes it inspiration from the Battlechess series, however
doesn’t provide unique animations for each type of encounter on the
chessboard. Each piece has a double set of animations: one for attacking,
another for dying. Those do not differ depending on the type of the opposing
piece.
