Damn it looks really good. Noticed the character designs aren't nearly so monochromatic but I more or less dig the new look.

What does that mean "at the moment"? Single player cannot be more than an afterthought.

Chess is overrated, it only holds up because of the long tradition it has to back it up. Mechanically, there are loads and loads better board games out there, even in the same specific seb-genre (abstarct war/strategy games). Now X-COM, for example, is another story - there still are not many games that do the same thing better.

Many? Try any.

One time me and my friend were bored and he was all,

"Hey Whisky, nice chess board you got there. Lets play it!"

And I was all,

"Naw, chess only became popular because of technical limitations. Let us play something from the modern, more sophisticated world!"

I put in Mario Party and long story short, five minutes later we were throwing staplers at each other.

Technical limitations have nothing to do with this. And I never said chess is a bad game. It is just overrated, meaning there are better, but less popular games in its genre. Nothing else, nothing more. But you are free to delude yourself otherwise, of course.
