Onmyoji Chess

NetEase Games developers present us with Onmyoji Chess, a pretty board game which has some reminiscences of chess and also a great deal of fanservice.

Chess evolved into a Japanese-style game

It's complicated to talk about this game. And that's a good thing, because it says a lot about its originality. Onmyoji Chess is a very Japanese game. Its developers were able to exploit the concept of chess and bring the pieces to life so that they really fight in the board. And all this combined with a beautiful and neat artistic part that takes place in the Heian period.

Turn based board game

The original Onmyoji is a role-playing game for smartphones, tablets and PCs. The same characters are reassembled here to take part in turn-based battles with up to eight players. To win you need to collect the best characters and use your smartest strategy.

To play this game you need to use your strengths on the turn-based board. As soon as you transfer them from your hand to the table, the Shikigami will come to life and help you defeat your opponents thanks to their unique abilities. You'll need to customize your team to get the most lethal group possible. Likewise, there are combinations of figures that bring multiple benefits, such as more powerful attacks. Also, the battles are played on different boards and you can customize your adventure with different themes.

If you're up for it, it's a very cool game, although it can be a bit messy at first. Who says chess is boring?
