Worse Chess

Got' a bit of a chuckle out of the joke. But it lives up to it's name as there's not much else here, lol!

Imbued in all of Brandon Hare's creations is an innate spirit that communicates an undeniable truth in the human condition. It is our shared desire and pursuit of the simple-- our ability to find contentment in the simplest things. 

However, Chess But Worse is the first of Hare's works that truly strikes the fine line between Fasco-Marxist Chicanery and Confucian Social Moral-Economics. It is in this thin, thin line that true genius exists. Thrives even.

The wolf is Hare's Lopahin, the capitalist wolf that seeks not to create, but to devour. it is the bourgeois vampire that predates the proletarian bishops, subsuming them into the greater hyper-Finnish capitalistic culture of Chess But Worse's post-industrial fictional world. 

The Kings, on the other hand, are very obvious (some may argue hamfisted), representations of Indian communist demagogues, Nalini Gupta and Shaukat Usmani, two collectivist giants, vying for control of a wartorn post-WW2 Indian political arena. 

in fact, Hare very admirably takes inspiration from Gene D.'s breakout examination of Indian communism, Communism in India, as the two sides of the board very obviously represent the historical power struggle between the political moralists & grassroots communards in rural Orissa (Gene D., Communism in India, p. 213).

Ultimately, if I were forced at gunpoint by a capitalist dog to describe Mare's magnum opus, I would describe Chess But Worse as "based and red-pilled". 

Chess But Worse is an excellent example of effective leftist propaganda, and has a little something for everyone. This is Jason Wu with IGN Games Reviews, and Chess But Worse is an IGN 8.3/10.

This just so happens to be the best Indie game of 2020 and is representative of our society today as a whole.

 The classic yet frantic music in the background is a metaphor for how the world can be falling apart at the seems, and yet, the system refuses to change. The dialogue, "white's turn," and "Black's turn," is a clear reference to the social injustice, and the current racial tension America faces. A very bold statement.

The custom made sprites are clearly the work of a man who knows his blender from his modo. The horse is in such HD that I can see his screams for help as the white team demolishes his hopeless defenses.

(note to editor: I was fondling around at my desk because I was bored and got my thumb stuck in the pencil sharpener, so remember to add the M letters back in)

The gaeplay is absolutely the best part of the whole experience. With all 4 peices being siilar to that of intense class shooter gaes like Tea Fortress 2, Garden Warfare, and Rainbow Six Seige. It's coplex web of different possible oves isn't seen in today's gaes anyore, it definitely leaps fro the repetitive strategy gaeplay of odern classics. It's 2 possible endings both leave the player with a wonder of if this is fair or not, if the actions they just ade were oral, if they did what they had just done. It is a transcendent experience.

This gae ade y whole day.
