Great early access VR chess game
I've never been particularly good at chess but I do enjoy playing and even more so in a VR setting. There are a couple boards to choose from in some nice fantasy settings. In front of you there is the standard chess board setup, initially it was hard for me to pick up pieces but this has since been addressed. As you grab pieces and play the game the action also plays out on a giant chess board in front of you with some minimal action to add to the game. It's a very nice welcome touch. The game also allows you to log into chess com and track your stats which is amazing. I was able to beat the ai (on the easiest level). There is also a lot of tutorials for new players so even if you have not played chess before this is a good place to start. Hopefully when some more accessibility options and boards are added this will definitely be a 5 star game. Would recommend

I've been waiting for this game!
I used to play chess in VR, but I eventually got bored with how simple and empty it felt. I’m so glad someone finally came up with something like this. With the official Chess com integration, it really feels like a breath of fresh air!
I’ve always loved Harry Potter and played almost all the games based on it. As a casual chess player, I’ve often found myself wishing I could play something that felt like that. This game totally captures the Wizard’s Chess vibe (or should I say that "barbaric chess game"?). I’m really into it!
I love the chess universe they are building. It has so much potential. I know it's in early access, but I’d love to see more piece sets, new animations, and maybe even customizable personal rooms in the future.
Thanks for making this game. This is probably going to be my new “just one more match” addiction!

Who knew chess could be this fun
I really didnt think chess was fun but this game makes it fun and in vr takes it over the edge . its single user or multiplayer i like that there are wizards ,creatures and elves which makes it unique and the voice command take the game over the edge . the chess pieces are very cool because they come to life . I like that you can choose the arena .This game has great graphics and music too

Battle Chess anyone?
This game brought back fond memories of a very old 80s DOS game called battle chess, where the game pieces attacked each other when you took the opponent's piece, before that computer chess was limited to flat symbols on a flat board it was ground breaking and made chess way more fun to play. This game is like that, it brings to life the pieces in VR you stand (or sit) above in an arena and move your pieces on a board in front of you or you can voice command them to move, and below in the arena they spring to action following your commands and battle it out or you can opt for a more traditional mode seated across from your opponent in front of a board. The game follows standard chess rules

Chess in vr
Merlin's chess is a fun way to play chess because the game actually comes to life I like that. I also like that you can choose your arena. you can choose characters. I like that is single user or multiplayer so you can play by yourself or with family, friends or random people. The graphics are great the concept is great and the game itself is something I haven't seen before.
