I still remember the nights when I was in junior high school, saving my lunch money to secretly buy a pirated cassette tape, and playing "Advanced Warfare" and "Fire Emblem" while hiding under the covers. The screen was blindingly bright, the GBA button clicked with my fingers, and even the beep when the battery was exhausted made me panic. Later, "Final Fantasy Tactics" on the PSP and "New Age Fantasy" on the NDS, war games and chess games accompanied me from a teenager to a social beast. Nowadays, mobile phones are filled with various emulators, which can run on GBA, PSP, and NDS, but classics are classics after all. After playing through them dozens of times, I always want to find something new to satisfy my craving.
Until last week when I was browsing the forum and saw Amway's "Chess Soldiers Fighting Formation", I thought to myself, "It's another gold-priced mobile game to play Chess." But I couldn't stop playing it😳 Let me talk about my first impressions first: As soon as the 8×8 chess board of this product was opened, my pupils dilated directly - yes, it was the same feeling as staring at the checkered map grids on the GBA back then! Although the picture quality has been refined and the chess pieces have turned into jumping 3D villains, the tension of "one wrong step and one wrong step" is still authentic! And each game lasts 15 minutes. The pace is as fast as when my mother caught me playing games and I shut down my phone in seconds. It's so refreshing!
What gives me goosebumps the most is its bond system and economic system. You may say, "Isn't this just like Auto Chess?" But let me tell you, it combines card collection and chess positioning very well. I can move and pull at the beginning, use melee pieces to gain long-range shooting, and save money to brush out the mythical bond, and take away the opponent's big brother with a combined attack - the pleasure of calculating blood lines, controlling mana, and predicting the opponent's position really makes me feel like my youth is back! Moreover, it has no physical limitations, and you don't have to worry about the one-punch superman from the krypton gold boss. It is a purely mental game. In the competition mode, you can bring your old friends to play together. The voice is full of shouts of "I will trick you with a flash, hold on and you will win."
Of course, as a nostalgic person, I have to complain about the gap. The rigorous numerical values in the pixel grid of the original GBA war chess, the soaring blood pressure when the hit rate goes red, and the metaphysics of SL Dafa, "Chess Fighter" has indeed simplified a lot. It's more of a fast-paced "brainstorming" game, and lacks the heart-rending heartache of hard-core leveling-up liver equipment. But thinking about it on the other hand, there is a mobile game these days that allows me to take out my phone on the commuter subway without using a Bluetooth controller or simulator to guide me and let me have a real strategy showdown anytime and anywhere. I am already grateful to God❤️
One last thing, in addition to the GBA emulator, I also have a special place for it in my phone. Every time I click on "Chess Fighter", I feel like myself who saved up my pocket money to buy cassettes when I was a child, sitting in front of that yellowing screen again. You want to ask me if I recommend it? If you are an old war chess player or a young person who likes brain-burning battles, you can just play. Remember, there is always a better move, don't be greedy for economics, be careful of assassins jumping in the face🤣
