Rockwater Games, a Ripstone Studio, has created a captivating universe in their game, ’The Queen’s Gambit Chess.’ This game is inspired by the popular Netflix series and offers an immersive experience beyond the traditional chessboard. It caters to players of all levels, from beginners to experts. The game begins with a beautifully designed map, reminiscent of the locations in Beth Harmon’s world. This map serves as the central hub for gameplay, where players can access their objectives, stats, and chess lessons in their library. It’s not just a background, but a place to earn rewards, make friends, and improve one’s chess skills. One unique feature of ’The Queen’s Gambit Chess’ is the ’Beth Vision.’ This tool allows players to see the board through Beth’s eyes and plan their moves accordingly. It adds an extra layer of strategy to the game and makes players feel like they are living in the shoes of a chess prodigy. The game also offers various playing options to cater to different styles. Players can challenge friends in online matches, invite them to play, or have a one-on-one game through pass-and-play. For those who prefer a single-player experience, there is an advanced AI that mimics the play styles of characters from the series. Players can even face off against Borgov or Beth in the park. The game also allows players to reconnect with familiar characters from the series, such as Mr. Shaibel and Borgov. It’s not just about the game of chess, but also the relationships and connections formed through it. For those new to chess or in need of a refresher, the game offers a detailed glossary explaining the various terms and moves. This makes the game accessible to everyone, regardless of their knowledge of chess. In ’The Queen’s Gambit Chess,’ leveling up is not just about winning. Players can choose their difficulty level and progress at their own pace. If they make a mistake, there is an ’undo’ feature to help them correct it. The ’review’ button also allows players to analyze their moves and improve their strategies. Completing puzzles, collecting postcards, and earning unique rewards make the game even more fun and engaging. Overall, ’The Queen’s Gambit Chess’ offers an adventure for players of all levels, making it more than just a game of chess. With its immersive features, it’s sure to keep boredom at bay.
