After a very long wait finally there is something in the place of Rune! The fact
that this game is 100% lan-able is great! The one thing chivalry did not do
right. Great fun! Easy to get into hard to master. And when you get bored of
killing your buddies retire to a good old fassioned game of chess! A rather
bloody one that is! If you enjoyed games like The Reconing and Rune and Chivalry
this is a must buy!! The price is so good its like if its on sale already!

i do like the combat chess because you have a fighting chance for your stupidity
i have not been playing it long but it seems like i can not find an online game
anywhere. it might be that im in korea and too high of ping to pick up the games
or its just a dead online game not sure either way i enjoy it a lot

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A FIRST IMPRESSIONS REVIEW, AND NOT A FULL REVIEW, IF YOU
WANT A FULL REVIEW, THEN PLEASE READ BETTER REVIEWS THEN MINE
PLEASE NOTE: I recommended this game with some exceptions, overall if the game
did not live up to just a tiny expectation, I would not have recommended it at
all, so please read the review carefully if you are thinking of buying/playing
this game
Rooks Keep is a game developed by RuneStorm, the same people behind the wildly
popular Viscera Cleanup Detail games, this game was developed before the Viscera
Cleanup Detail series sprang to life
Rooks Keep seems like a good game, but the problem is that the multiplayer is
completely dead. The are no longer official game servers provided by the game
company and there are no other servers for this game anymore, literally none,
nothing... so basically the online portion of this game is non existant
The game has multiple modes to play, there are two chess modes; classic and
combat chess, and then a range of arena modes, which really feel like they are
intended to be played online from playing against bots, the combat seemed
enjoyable and it allows you to upgrade your character during a game with points
you get from killing other players, you can buy upgrades such as increased
damage and movespeed, and there are quite a few different things to choose from
However the main reason I am slightly sceptic about recommending this game is
because bots will only keep you entertained for so long, and most of the reviews
of this game were written a long time ago, so there was probably a decent
playerbase at the time they were written
But a game like this without multiplayer servers which is heavily dependant on
playing multiplayer is definitely not worth the asking price and I don't think
many people would buy something like Counter Strike: Global Offensive or the
Left 4 Dead series without multiplayer, and this game shouldn't be any
different...
RECOMMENDED :)
Provided it is in a sale, price drop, giveaway, gift or even given away to you
for free, otherwise...
NOT RECOMMENDED :(
For its full price

Good for fans of instant action games :)
I found this game years ago while looking for more "instant action bot ready"
games.
If you enjoy just being able to hop into a match team death match style, along
the same vain as perfect dark zero, or unreal tournament 3. (in regards to the
bot mechanics and match like structure)
its of course not as customizable as those games in regards to mechanics like
game type or even something like a weapon system.
but it is a really fun game to just jump into and start a kill streak to lead
your team to victory, and the chess-like aesthetic and team roles is a fun and
creative.
the game also includes a "battle chess" style game mode in which you play chess
and when pieces meet you can go into a one on one match to try and defeat the
opposing piece, which is an interesting game changer.

I like this game it has variety in its game modes and its easy to make
deathmatch maps in the editor for steam workshop!
A gem hidden among the many other titles on steam!
chess is lots of fun in this game and deathmatch is like being one of the
critters in halo and go fight eachother in the nice looking maps this game has!
The mutators and game rules let the player choose how they want to fight:)
Thankyou RuneStorm a nice game with an interesting theme! 10/10:)
