EDIT3/UPDATE: After a hard restart, I haven't had any more freezes after several hours of play, so not sure why that happened to me a few times right away after getting the game, but hopefully that resolved it.

Unfortunately the jerky framerate and other little graphic glitches remain.If anyone's considering picking this up, please take the time to read (or TL;DR, check out some of the cons list below).Note that this is not exactly a review of the game, but comparing it to its predecessor, Pure Chess.I'll also begin by saying I'm a bit of a chess snob and really liked Pure Chess (Ripstone's first chess foray) on both Wii U and Android. I logically expected this to be an advancement of that game, most likely including all the original boards/pieces/locations/options, but adding more of everything, maybe some missing options and features if I'm lucky, and upping to 1080.

Even if it was exactly as good as Pure Chess, I'd be happy.I was wrong.They managed to eff up nearly everything that they had already gotten right the first time around, while introducing some brand new real awfulness. Nearly everything is worse in Chess Ultra.Pure Chess had many, many pros. Some cons for sure, but they were mostly minor things and a desire for more options. The challenges and tutorials are quite good, even for someone with many years of chess under their belt, and those carry over to Chess Ultra, but sadly little else does. Instead it adds tons more frustration from what should be a simple, elegant, and streamlined way to enjoy this ancient game. Really the only pros over Pure Chess to me are the camera zoom improvements, the new time controls (blitz, finally!) and 1080 resolution.

I've read the online experience is better than Pure Chess but am too distracted by how bad the core game is to concentrate on a real match. The AI might be a little better, but I can't tell yet because just playing this inferior version to Pure Chess is so frustrating and disappointing I can't clock many games with it. I'm not dignifying this meager list of 'pros' with bullet points because of the things to follow.CONS:. bugs/freezing: within just a handful of games, I've had the game freeze on me three times, either in the pause menu or after a game during the 'replay'. In the pause menu, the cursor will just disappear and never come back, so you can't get back to the game or the main menu. One of these times I was able to press home, return to the game, unpause, re-pause, and the cursor magically came back after another delay.

The other times I had to go to the home menu and close the game because I was stuck. (These appear to have been remediated after a cold reboot of my Switch, but only time will tell). graphical quality/glitches: some of the scrolling, pre-rendered stills at the title screen are very pixelated. Sometimes even with the default camera view, a straight line (like the top edge of the board) will flicker constantly. And most annoying, after starting a match, before the cinematic camera angles before you begin playing, the screen changes from the logo and flashes the cinematic scene and then goes to black and fades in like it's supposed to. Also the game just doesn't look as nice as its predecessor, Pure Chess.

It doesn't look bad all the time, but the lower resolution Wii U version of Pure Chess looks a lot better, and it manages it 100% of the time. miserable, jerky framerate (Pure Chess was smooth as silk). Immersion-breaking, not exactly cinematic feeling, and pretty unforgivable for rendering one mostly-static room and 32 pieces. the menu is fantastically frustrating (everything is highlighted except the item that's selected, your AI level resets to 1 after every game, the controls jump all over, you can't make a change and just hit A to continue. That changes your selection forcing you to change it back and then move back down to 'continue' then press A, etc.

Etc.). no new options, in fact far fewer.

In fact ONLY THREE CHESS/GAME OPTIONS: sound volume, music volume, and show legal moves on/off. Another notable option Pure Chess had that is missing was the ability to select music genres (I loved Pure Chess's ambient and classical tunes and turn off the rest). Now gone. all of the old boards/locations, and many of the old sets of pieces are gone, with some crappy ones instead.

The evil looking set looks cool, but it is impossible to actually play a game like that. The williams set is HUGE for some reason. Much too big for any of the boards. And they removed marble/stone sets, which were some of the best.

I also don't care for any of the new boards/locations, and I hate that they felt the need to positively LOAD the table around the board with useless prop items like books, keys, remotes, lamps, pens, flower petals and goddamn anything else you can think of on every location. ridiculous background sounds. I tried the 'Woodburn Manor' location/board first and every few seconds you hear something like a tree falling down.

There were similar distracting, inexplicable sounds in other locations. somehow they botched touchscreen input: on both my phone and the Wii U tablet, this worked just fine for Pure Chess (although touch zoom/pan could be touchy). However just trying to move a piece on the Switch touchscreen breaks the camera lock and sends the screen moving, so it's useless. For some reason even the controller input seems to jump around, but maybe that's just poor analog stick implementation (debouncing and dead zone). and if all this wasn't enough, the most sour thing for me. The set up for microtransactions.

First thing when starting the game up and entering the main menu, there's the expected 'single game', an option menu with the aforementioned nothing in it, your tutorials and challenges, a new tournament mode, and then a 'Chess Ultra' banner, featuring a chess set from the original game mysteriously missing from this one. Going to this confusing banner sends you to essentially a bad link on the eShop, so in case you weren't clear, they're going to try to sell you all the stuff they intentionally left out that was actually good from their first attempt at chess. We're not just talking about a couple unusual/ornamental chess sets that few people will want, we're talking BASIC sets and boards that were in the original game and aren't in Chess Ultra. Pure Chess with everything unlocked was around the price I paid for this crap, and Pure Chess was worth buying twice. In very small letters at the bottom of the 'To install this game you need space.' Blurb it mentions DLC, but I feel like I've been fooled.We can play chess anywhere on anything, but we might buy it on a gaming console because:. Rolling ball game unblocked. we love chess and/or want to learn.

it looks good. it plays smooth. and it includes enough options to please the type of person who would get more use out of a chess program than trying it just once or twice.Somehow I feel they failed at all of these, and I'm going to try to get my money back from Nintendo customer service. This is the only game I really regret buying, with the next closest being 'Vaccine' (it's that bad).'

Introducing the most breathtaking chess game ever made.' Yeah, breathtakingly bad. Give me Chessmaster 2000 or literally any 2D website or android app chess game instead. Or better yet, just port Pure Chess as is, because it was (almost) perfect. Instead of adding a couple nice-to-haves like time modes, or a board that isn't tied to a location, they broke a bunch of need-to-haves.Anyone else have any of the same reactions or is it just me?EDIT: fixed bullets and a typoEDIT2: As some have pointed out, I may be a bit harsh here (no apologies about the jerky framerate though, that's just bad).

Overall, I'm trying to convey that I KNOW this could have been (hopefully will be, after patches) a much better game. It's so close to greatness but falls just shy in a number of ways, so it's frustrating. I hope to give the devs a constructive (and kinder) list of feedback along these lines.
