Dear all. I am a ranked Chinese Chess Master (National Representative). I did a youtube game review of this early access game and outlined all the features. Watch the video here https://youtu.be/dKfLKbjfZoU

ENG: Problems with the game: 1. There are no players. 2. The tutorial does not show how to play. P.S. Board game is interesting. Excellent graphics. RUS: Проблемы с игрой: 1. Нет игроков. 2. В учебнике не показано, как играть. P.S. Настольная игра интересная. Отличная графика.

Interesting game that is different to chess. It needs to be made more accessible for non-chinese speakers. By this I mean there need to be graphical board pieces eg an elephant instead of a Chinese symbol for an elephant. This will make it easier for people not familiar with the game to play and would look cool too.

Firstly, I would say that the game so far as an early access is quite okay, few things to note are: -The 3D enviroments are beautiful indeed. -The animation gives a good immersion of playing on a real board. -The chess AI is decent so far, tho it has room for improvements Next, things to improve: -Thinking time can be little too long sometimes, and sometime you will need to press reset for the AI to make a move. -UI needs a lot improvement -The font needs a change of design, it's pretty ugly -Scenes from Steam Workshop doesn't work for me, it's all black (I may need to check on my side as well) So far that's all my comments for now, I hope the things I have stated would be considered for improvement. Overall, for those who want to get this game, if you want to kill some time playing some chinese chess, feel free to get to this game, as it does exactly that. Along the way you can watch the game grow as well, as they add more features. But, if you are here to play against a challenging AI, you might want to wait for developers to improve the AI (Like maybe after early access is over) OR you can come join the early access and try out the other AIs in Steam Workshop made by other players. My ratings as for now: Art : 8/10 Programming: 6/10 UI and UX design: 3/10 <- Some focus needs to be placed here as well Gameplay: (Well you can't change the gameplay xD)
