Outsmarted, outmatched, and outplayed, the mighty Valkyrie knows the end is near. She looks up to see Odin’s piercing gaze. He lifts his mighty hand to deal the finishing blow.
He slides the game piece to the corner of the board. “I win,” he whispers.
“Well played,” the Valkyrie mutters, “but can you also defeat your own son, Thor?”
In this modern take on an ancient board game similar to Chess, one side must defend Odin against an onslaught of attackers as he makes his escape to one of the corners of the board. The sides are uneven, leaving Odin ambushed with only twelve soldiers against twenty-four attackers coming from all sides. Use sharp strategy and tactics to help Odin reach safety before he is caught defenseless between multiple assailants!
- Experience an exciting update to the ancient Norse strategy game, Hnefatafl (nef·ah·tah·fel).
- Engage opponents in a game of strategy, cunning, and wit devised by Odin himself.
- Compete as Odin, who must prevail in the Ragnarok Tournament in order to forestall Ragnarok, the end of all things.
- Play against Norse legends such as Vidar, Tyr, Heimdall, Thor, and Frey, or challenge a friend in local competitive play.
- Watch as the game pieces come to life before your eyes to do battle!
- Play the game that even Odin is raven about!

TLDR: Authentic dosbox music does not quite make up for the odd custom ruleset of the chess game. No other game modes.
The game is straight from the DOS era. With heavy pixelization, somewhat delayed input recognition. This compounds with the tweaked rulesets of the game and the ease of making mistakes and clicking on invalid things.
Altogether it is slim pickings for the Battle Chess simulations. Perhaps Check VS Mate would offer a viable alternative but it is quite flawed.

So far this is after one game - I'll update if anything is different after further games. This is to the ancient game HnefTafl what Battle Chess is to Chess. It gives a game played like HnefTafl with some variations on what you choose for special pieces, table, etc, but gives you little animated battles between the pieces. However it is from the same time period as the original Battle Chess so very pixelated and at times difficult to see clearly on a modern screen. But I enjoyed the game and appreciate having a Battle Chess version of this ancient game as well. I look forward to trying it more.
I would recommend this for those interested in games like Battle Chess that don't mind the aged graphics and it running in Dosbox.
