WHY PLAY GAMBONANZA?

Gambonanza takes the tactical clarity of chess and turns it into a roguelike playground: stack Gambits, sculpt the board, manage your reserves, and discover ridiculous combos that “shouldn’t work”… until they do. If you love smart strategy, replayable runs, and the thrill of breaking the rules (legally), this one’s for you.

Okay

Wish there was some sort of progression to the game. It’s kinda the same old same old. Nothing to achieve.

Très bon jeu d'échec, j'y passe du bon temps dessus. J'ai simplement une petite remarque à faire, sur mon téléphone, le jeu se met à avoir des mini-freeze à chaque animation (quand ont capture une pièce, quand ont bouge une pièce, à la boutique ect...). C'est pas super gênant, mais a la longue sa peut devenir relou

Super jeu mais attention à la batterie

C’est une très bonne idée de revisiter le jeu d’échecs. Gambonanza vient rafraîchir tout ça en surfant sur l’engouement autour des échecs. La boucle de gameplay est plaisante et on a envie d’y revenir rapidement. Cependant le jeu consomme une quantité importante de batterie et fais chauffer le téléphone au bout d’une dizaine de minutes
