User Reviews

Chessplode offers a creative and entertaining twist on chess with its unique exploding pieces mechanic, appealing to both beginners and casual players. Reviews highlight engaging gameplay and a fun puzzle-like experience without intrusive ads. However, multiple users report slow online multiplayer, app bugs like freezing and startup issues, and limited social features such as friend lists or level sharing. Some also note the AI could be stronger and that certain traditional chess rules aren't fully implemented.

Pros

Unique and fun twist on traditional chess with exploding pieces adding a new strategic layer.
Engaging and clever gameplay that challenges players to think differently.
Good puzzle elements and multiple game modes enhance replayability.
No intrusive full-screen ads, providing a smoother user experience.
The game is enjoyable for both beginners and those looking for a casual chess variant.

Cons

Online multiplayer is slow and lacks real-time play, leading to long wait times.
App has bugs like freezing and crashing, with issues such as getting stuck on the username screen.
Level sharing and browsing community-created levels are limited or problematic.
Lack of features like friend lists and standard chess mode limits social and traditional gameplay.
Missing some chess rules implementation and AI strength could be improved.

I love it. The only problem i found is the online. In online matches you move a piece and then you wait to find opponent, and then they move. But since its most probably been hours and the game doesnt notify you, you have to start the game and check to see if they moved or not. Im guessing you CAN play in real time, but for me it usually takes about 1 day to move a piece. The PvE is really good but id 100% prefer PvP if they were on real time, specially for the fast paced nature of the game.
