Comments on Shanghai Dark Chess for Android

★★★★★ Vanda S D S Martins · Mar 15, 2018
Great game. Cute and cool graphics like the roses bit kinda romantic 😊
★★★★★ A Google User · Jul 25, 2013
The best free dark chess I ever played. I've tried 6-7 dark chess with my Galaxy I and this is the one I most enjoyed.
★★★★★ A Google User · Jun 29, 2013
I had to get this version as well as the fairy version. This is really cool. I learned along the way as I don't know Chinese characters, but I still manage. Love the graphics. If you like chess like I do you will like Chinese chess too, pay attention to the characters, which can eat which and then remember which ones and play again and again. Is what I do. The game requirements is patience, strategy and mental agility.5stars
★★★★★ A Google User · Jun 1, 2013
Sweet not sure which game is my favorite by this developer. All games are fun and unique. I don't know Chinese but all games are easy to play. Thanks for the great games.
