Comments on ChessCraft for Android

★★★★★ Katja Marjetic · May 30, 2026

Would rate 6 stars if you could let me make my own garb without bishop

★★★★★ Puppy Love · Jul 16, 2026

Ever since I started learning chess, I always wanted to make my own version of Chess, and now with this app l can. It lets you change anything, from the pieces to the board.

★★★★★ Aleksa Manasijevic · Jun 12, 2026

Peak game Peak customization wished you can make a rule where you can betray your own pieces except the king of course (what I mean is by capturing your friendly pieces with your piece, hopefully I said that correctly)

★★☆☆☆ Healion123 · Sep 30, 2026

Okay, I liked this game. I still kinda do. The concept of customizable chess & the Adventure mode exploring a ton of pre-made custom stuff is really fun. But why did they have to go and add all of this RPG stuff?? It's completely irrelevant. The real reason I'm not happy tho is the fact that the assets look like AI. There are many style inconsistencies and other signs that this new stuff is clearly not human-made. It's genuinely ruined this favorite game of mine. Please do better, Frame of Mind

★★☆☆☆ Jelly Kim · Jul 17, 2026

The only thing I don't like is that your pieces are wrong. Is an archbishop a chimpanzee? No. Is an Amazon a wizard? No. Also, berserker is wrong grammar. If you are describing it as berserk, you would say berserk rook, berserk bishop, etc. I wish you could make the pieces go further. And I wish the pieces could only walk to further distances. For example, a piece must move diagonally 4 squares diagonally by walking. If a piece blocks the path, it must find a different way. Roasting 1-star reviews?

★☆☆☆☆ Michael Nunley · Oct 12, 2026

The latest update to adventure is frustrating and annoying. There are many new buttons that are not explained and far from obvious what they even do. Some of these buttons do things without a confirmation check, so It's not just opening menus. The character aspect plus the random things you pick up have no bearing on the gameplay and just clutter everything. Adding dnd style character sheets is a very bewildering choice to add to a game of chess edit: update removed all the artifacts I found
