Well, I actually finished some games. So that’s something.
The complexity of 5D Chess grows hard and fast, and that is still an intimidating thing to deal with. Strangely, however, I would posit that normal chess has more depth than this version. 5D Chess tends to focus on putting the opponent’s king in check in the past, which leads to a quick checkmate and means that it tends to be the focus of the entire game. There’s no need to set up checkmate or worry about keeping ahead of your opponent in terms of material.
Other than that, there’s not too much to comment on other than the price. $12 on Steam! I definitely didn’t think there was enough content to justify a price tag even that high.
Recommended if… You know what? You already know if this is up your alley. Just don’t expect it to blow your mind or anything.
