Arcane Chess

Enter a candlelit chamber where every capture becomes a miniature battle. Arcane Chess brings standard chess to life with animated ceramic warriors, mounted knights, spells and cinematic camera moves.

PLAY YOUR WAY
• Solo duels against Stockfish with six difficulty settings.
• Two players sharing the same device.
• Private online games with a friend using an invitation code.

A LIVING CHESSBOARD
Watch role-specific capture animations, from a rook’s hammer strike to a bishop’s spell. Rotate the board, zoom in, switch to a top view or skip a battle to continue your game. Adjust the sound, camera and graphics to your preference.

CLASSIC CHESS, AT YOUR PACE
Play untimed games with standard chess rules, including castling, en passant and four promotion choices. Review move history and resume automatically saved offline games. Undo is available in offline play.

OFFLINE AND ONLINE
Solo and same-device play work offline. Online invitations require an internet connection and both players to keep the game open. Some networks may prevent a direct connection; try another Wi-Fi network or hotspot. Online play is a beta feature.

No account, advertising or in-app purchases. The current game interface is in English.

Android 9 or later and a current WebGL 2-capable Android System WebView are required. Visual performance depends on your device.

This is an early test release. Stockfish difficulty settings are not a verified player rating. Arcane Chess is an independent fantasy chess game.
