• Completeness: Fully complete, found no bugs except for some weird dots on the help screen, which I think is one pixel of the wooden wall tiles poking through the overlay. Aesthetics: Excellent and readable. The UI does use mouse/keyboard combo but it controls well nonetheless. Fun: Very fun! It's also quite difficult. The one-hit-kill nature of it makes it finnicky. I could see it getting repetitive if stretched out but for the short duration of 7DRL it is excellent. Innovation: There's a lot of chess 7DRLs, but this one is reasonably distinct in playstyle due to the capture mechanic. Scope: Wholly reasonable. Traditional Roguelikeness: It's a trad roguelike.
• "A King in Checkxile" features a rather unique, exciting concept - it's equally a roguelike and a game of chess, and requires the player to have a sound understanding of the basics of both worlds. I found it very fun to play in spite of what I consider its greatest flaw: the unexpected, savage, and unforgiving death (aka chessxecution). You might be used to quickly moving around the map, with the game either giving you a good-sized alert if you are about to die, or consequences of one wrong move not being quite severe. Then it might take you a while to adjust to Checkxile's immediate death at the hands of a bishop lying in wait 8 squares away, whom you carelessly approached because you simply didn't notice the damn piece shooting up its exclamation mark as a warning that it sees you. Regardless, the game is worth finishing, and is a stellar 7DRL achievement.
