Comments on Really Bad Chess for Android

★★★★☆ Scotty Sutherland · Jul 13, 2025
Only reason I didn't do 5 star is bc of how there are ads every game. And to get 5 undos/take backs, cost another ad. fun game to occasionally play as a variant
★★★★☆ Sarthak Raut · Sep 16, 2026
The game Chameleon Run is a masterpiece, but its problem is that it's not endless and doesn't feature random runs, so it gets boring after playing it 12–13 times. If this game had endless random runs and easy, normal, and hard modes, it could have been the best endless runner game ever, perhaps after Pac-Man 256.
★★★★☆ Adam TS · Oct 6, 2025
Great fun except it doesn't let me win! When I win a game it just freezes and I jave to surrender to get to the main menu.
★★★★☆ Jordan Vigorito · Aug 18, 2026
Hilarious even though I absolutely SUCK at Chess, but one small issue I've noticed is that the game occasionally gets itself into a set-up where it could EASILY checkmate, but it doesn't, resulting in a stalemate, which isn't recognized as a draw or ANY type of conclusion at all, it just keeps moving a single piece back and forth.
★☆☆☆☆ Amari · Aug 16, 2026
I just started this game, but I ALREADY had problems for example: instead of a normal chess setup it's all mixed up, and I only had 1 PAWN 1! The worst part? This stupid knight keeps on using a CHECK on my king! For those who don't know: the only way to get rid of the king is to checkmate it and during the check, I Can't MOVE MY PIECES! I see why it's called: really bad chess, ITS HORRIBLE!
★★☆☆☆ astro. · Apr 20, 2026
Used to be really great but recent updates have been so confusing. They made the game logo an ugly blue. They removed the victory/defeat screen after a game for whatever reason so now the game just "freezes" weirdly after a game ends. They made the AI way too strong and smart when it's ahead and way too dumb when it's behind. Also, completely disabled the option to get undos unless you pay for them now - before you could watch ads for 5. No idea why they decided to go back and destroy this game
★☆☆☆☆ Anabelle · Jan 26, 2026
Recently redownloaded this, but it's really buggy Very often, I can't see the opponent's moves or make another move of my own until I quit to the menu and then reopen the match.
★☆☆☆☆ Keijo Sandvik · Aug 29, 2026
Buggy! Three times now I've gone for the final victory move and the game crashes. Frustrating!
