Medieval Chess

The arcade style Medieval Times chess game that brings the battle to life. Through immersive sound, by way of lantern lit paths, finely detailed pieces charge forth to conquer the land and take the crown.

WHAT'S IN IT

- Five levels to play against, from a gentle one to a real fight

- Play a friend anywhere in the world — one link, both boards live, five minutes each on the clock, and you can talk while you play

- A tavern: one room everybody on the site shares, to sit in and find somebody to play

- A roll of honour — beat the machine over and over and your name goes on the wall

- Put your photo and your name on it, and add the people you meet as companions

- Free. No sign-up, no account, no advertising. Add it to your home screen and it works with the plane on.

Best played with the sound on.

Background scenery was generated with AI and then edited by hand. Most piece voices are text-to-speech; the knight's is my own recording. Page and interface wording, and the code, were written with AI assistance. The chess pieces and the board are photographs of a real carved set, and the music is licensed from Kevin MacLeod (CC BY 4.0) — neither is AI.
