Board game. Battleship Chess invites players to be in command of a powerful fleet and take part in challenging battles. The game resembles chess but with warships instead of chess pieces. Each warship is armed with different types of weapons for underwater and surface targets. The opponent's ships are hidden on the game board; try to guess where they are. At the beginning of the game choose between one, five or ten battle war, then choose a nationality for the forces which are involved into the battle and difficulty level. After this you may play in one of five chapters, which consist of multiple battles and introduce a new ship type.
Style and atmosphere inside the game:
Battleship Chess is an amazing twist of classic Battleship with simple graphics, average sound effects and good appropriate music. Graphics is too simple with primitive design of ships, water and islands. The music suits the overall action perfectly well. The sound effects are very simple though match this type of game. In any case if you find the sound system to be annoying you may easily turn it off. Due to in-game options you can set screen mode, resolution, music, sound effects and card face. The comprehensive tutorial, easy controls, multiple difficulty level and addictive game play make Battleship Chess extremely attractive for any player.
