Fantastic Checkers 2

EnsenaSoft I hate you so much.

Terrible game. Just basic checkers with bad skins. Controls are clunky. Visuals look cheap. Not worth your time at all.

[b]My playtime:[/b] 0.6h (based on steam played several matches on the easy mode) [b]Developer Response:[/b] ~24h. [h1]Intro[/h1] Fantastic Checkers 2 is a 3D checkers game that lets you play checkers with AI or other player locally. There are 3 different AI modes: easy, medium, and hard. [h1]Graphics[/h1] There are no words on the UI so you might want to assume some of the functionality which is not too hard to guess to begin with. As for the game graphics itself, the checkers pieces are replaced by round monsters which are generated on every play. I think the devs want to make the pieces to look cute, but they failed; the pieces look like a halloween themed checker pieces instead since it looks creepy with a bit of cute element in it. [h1]The game[/h1] At first, you'll have to choose on what mode you want to play: easy AI, medium AI, hard AI, or local multiplayer. If you know how to play checkers beforehand, the game is exactly like that. However, if it's your first time playing checkers like me, you have to learn how to play the game on the go since there isn't any tutorial or anything. Anyway, the game is just about moving your pieces diagonally and you can eliminate your opponent's pieces by jumping on them, provided that you are one tile away from the opponent piece and there is one empty tile on the back of the opponent's piece. You can only move your pieces forward and when you reach the end of the board, the said piece will become a king and able to move forward and backward. Your goal is to eliminate all of your opponent's pieces on the board. To be honest, i only played the easy mode and i never win even once. I'm not sure if it's the AI or just me being dumb at checkers at this point so i stopped playing. There are some options that are located on the screen when you started the game. The first and only option that i clicked is the perspective view button which changed the sideway view to top down view. Before you ask, yes, the game will start the game in sideway view and i'm also wondering why the devs even do that, considering that it's hard to see and click the pieces that way. Lastly, the game has some animations when you move and eliminate the opponent's pieces (perhaps there is also another one when your pieces are promoted to king pieces, but i didn't notice it). You can't skip the animations but it looks cute to me. Pros: - 3 AI difficulties - Local multiplayer Cons: - Sideway view - AI is too hard even on easy mode [h1]Conclusion[/h1] This is a checkers game with some animations in it. [h1]Should you buy this game?[/h1] [b]No.[/b] [i]Unless if you're buying this for your children, i don't think you should buy it. There are a lot of free checkers game already that you can play although they mostly come with normal, simpler graphics.[/i]
