Magical Checkmate!

Magic Chess is a couch two-player game, each player decides which color they will be and control the game with one mouse.


Features

  • New magic pieces!
    • Introducing the Dark Mage and the Healer piece! Watch out for the dark mage, since it can also defeat your piece if you defeat him, but with the addition of the Healer, now players can power up your Pawns to be Soldiers and move in any direction!
  • Soldiers are better Pawns!
    • The only way to promote a Pawn in this game is by using the Healer, and now the only option to be promoted is to a Soldier! Soldiers can move in any direction, adding more strategy of when to attack and when to back off.
  • Protect the King!
    • As in every chess game, aim for the King to win the game!
