Wizard Chess

The pieces will obey you. Mostly.

Wizard Chess is a cinematic 3D chess game set in a candlelit underground chamber. Every piece is a living stone statue that awakens, turns, and grinds across the board. Every capture is a duel.

LIVING STATUES
• Pawns bash with their shields and lunge with their swords.
• The king draws his greatsword for an overhead cleave or a sweeping cut.
• The queen aims her sceptre to hoist and crush, or to fire a bolt.
• Bishops channel light through their croziers or smite with them.
• Knights leap and crush from above. Rooks ram and levitate over the king when castling.
• The defeated statue shatters into physically simulated stone fragments, which drift to a graveyard beside the board.
• Promotion arrives in a swirl of gold. At checkmate, the defeated king drops his sword and bows.

PLAY YOUR WAY
• Play the Wizard: three computer opponents, from Apprentice to Grandmaster, with a win/loss record kept for each.
• Two Players: pass and play on one device, with the board turning between turns.
• Play as white, black or random. Undo and hints when you need them.
• Your game is saved automatically, so you can continue later.

READABLE AT A GLANCE
• Legal moves are highlighted, and the statues you can capture glow red.
• Chess symbols appear where they help, or turn them on for every piece.
• Taps go where you meant, even between tall statues.
• Three camera views (Classic, Battlefield, Overhead), plus free orbit and zoom.
• Optional spoken move announcements, haptics and fast battles.
