Shogi Demon XL (Japanese Chess) Reviews

Great shogi app

Oda79

This app has been great helping learn shoji. Although there are no lessons (hint hint developers), playing the computer has taught me a lot. I also enjoy the saving feature. I can go back and review the parts of a game where I started losing or winning. I can even open up a saved game and play at those critical moves to play out a different outcome, although when you do that you have to play both sides. It would be nice if the AI would be able to play the other side. Anyway, it's a great game and app!!!

Best App to Learn Shogi

Big RaZuGi

I tried couple of apps to learn Shogi, and I found that this app with its Eastern Mode to be the best way to learn the Rocks Moves in both Normal and Promoted states... Also, the Visual Control of Rocks in both Normal and Promoted states makes reading the grid and analyzing next steps much easier... One opportunity for improvement in the next versions, is to have the Option of Hints available... Thx again for the great app ?

Computer player locks up

This would be a great app if the computer player didn't lock up six moves into the game.

Almost the best shogi app

TheRootBeerKing

This is a really well done app, it has local multiplayer on one iPad and Vs Ai. The graphics are the best out of any of the shogi apps and there are some nice features for practicing the game. My only complaint is there is no online mode. If I could play this game over the Internet with my friends(like chess with friends) this would be THE Shogi app for iOS, however it's not there, sadly...So only 4 stars. I hope the developers consider adding some sort of online multiplayer either play by turn or real time.
