★☆☆☆☆Nicholas Chandler· Apr 19, 2026
15 seconds in and a reward based advert option it's not worth it. Downloaded game gave option on menu (not during gameplay to get reward, thought press yes get it out the way) played 1 match graphics bad opponent worse won defense without losing a piece in under 30 moves, don't bother.
