Download Battle Chess II - Chinese Chess_Disk1 ROM โ Amiga Game
1990 strategy game for Amiga. Chinese Chess variant with unique pieces like Cannons and Ministers, featuring animated combat sequences. Traditional board and movement rules.
Game Overview
Battle Chess II: Chinese Chess came out for the Amiga in 1990, developed by Interplay and published by Electronic Arts. It was part of a wave of strategy games that tried to blend traditional board rules with the visual flair that home computers could offer. This one took the classic game of Xiangqi and gave it a digital makeover, complete with animated battles whenever pieces captured each other.
You control the red or black army, moving pieces like Cannons, Horses, and Elephants across the board with the goal of checkmating the opponent's General. The standout feature is the combat animation; when one piece takes another, the view shifts to a short, often humorous fight scene between the two characters. The game follows traditional Xiangqi rules, so movement is strict and strategic, with a river dividing the board and palaces restricting certain pieces. Matches can be slow and thoughtful, demanding careful positioning rather than quick attacks. It feels like playing chess with a layer of personality added through those little animated duels.
