After millennia in beta, Échecs Games presents the interactive strategy game for the twenty-first century: Shah-mat 64.0!
• More character possibilities — now any unit can be any colour or gender! Male queens, female bishops, chartreuse rooks!
• New game board maps featuring additional continents and unoccupied areas — no reason ever to go back to boring original 64 squares!
• No more grinding through tedious opening levels — move quickly into endgame content!
• New bosses — more powerful pieces, but they move entirely predictably and unintelligently!
• New special moves: dimensional portal allows King escape to any unoccupied square in the game!
If Chess Were Invented By MMOG Developers
