Comments on Chinese Dark Chess for Android

★★★★☆ A Google User · Jan 23, 2014
A Poor AI. I won a game because the opponent could no more move his pieces but his cannon could still move and kill my pawn. Love this game!
★★★★☆ letian · Sep 21, 2012
Not better AI nice game. The updates did not enhance the AI, just enhance the placement of the com.
★★★★★ Michael Meyerhofer · Dec 11, 2022
This is a great little game and one I've had on all my smartphones for years. I've probably played it a thousand times. Highly recommended!
★★★★★ paula · Sep 24, 2012
Chinese Chess on S3 Beyond expectation. Great game.
★★★★☆ Raymond · Oct 21, 2012
Too easy This is a good game however there should be another difficulty level. Having more of a challenge would make the game better.
★☆☆☆☆ chris moody · Sep 4, 2018
Used to be great, but now the tile locations are so stupid. Look, there's basically zero strategy/skill on this game, it comes down to luck...if we call it that anymore. It is getting ridiculous. I'm going to try a different app bc this one sucks now.
★☆☆☆☆ j · Oct 20, 2012
Chinese Dark Chess I don't know what this is but isn't Chinese chess. Also, l had a hard time removing the icon after l uninstalled the app!
★☆☆☆☆ Peter · Sep 18, 2012
Bad game This English game is rubbish and the rules is wrong
★☆☆☆☆ A Google User · Jan 21, 2013
