About this game

Battle Chess 4000 brings the animated battles of the Battle Chess series to a futuristic science-fiction setting. Chess pieces are represented by clay models and perform a new range of animations during captures.

The game includes an optional 2D mode for a more traditional presentation. Its artificial intelligence learns from your strategies and game plan, while a library of more than 30,000 distinct opening moves supports strategic play.
