About This is not Chess, It's War!

ok it is chess BUT you use your voice to command your pieces and its PVP with proximity chat and its cool ur like "pawn 1, move to delta 6" and he moves! also ur a poop (don't wrry abt it) Your army stands ready for orders. Call the piece you want to move by shouting its name. "Rook 1", "Pawn 6".

Every solider carries their name above their head, making it easy to identify the right unit and send it into action. Once a soldier answers your call, it awaits its next command. Order it to move using battlefield coordinates spoken in NATO code. "Alpha 4", "Bravo 3". Use your notebook to review the alphabet and command your troops like a true field commander.

Every move matters on the battlefield. Outsmart your opponent and position your forces with precision as you push toward total victory. One wrong order can cost you the war. The game features a single-player mode so you can play against AI and also a multiplayer 1v1 mode so you can play with friends and join and host public matches.
