Chessarama video shows game modes on offer in the chess-puzzler
Minimol Games have published a new developer walkthrough video for Chessarama, showing off various modes in the chess-based puzzle game.
In the video, you get to see Farm Life, where you “play as a chess Knight who must cultivate the tiles of their garden to grow crops”, as well as Soccer Chess, “where you must position your pieces in pursuit of kicking the ball into the goal”, and also Dragon Slayer, where “players must move a pawn to the end of the board where it can slay a mighty dragon, though the dragon attacks the board after every turn, obliterating any unprotected piece”. The main focus of the video, it seems, is “Lady Ronin”, though, which is best left described visually.
So check out the new developer diary featuring game designer Luis Júnior and game, and UX designer Ana Carolina showing off the game modes, below. We’ve also dropped the official word on the game, and the key features underneath, in case you are curious about what else is part of the game.

“We’re proud of the work we did in giving each game in Chessarama a unique personality,” said Raphael Dias, CEO and Game Director at Minimol Games. “With Chessarama we wanted to create a game that appeals to both fans of chess, as well as people who haven’t even played chess before.
