Beautiful Cash Grab – Pure Chess Review

To this app's credit, the graphics are the best I've seen, and the animations are smooth. There are lots of choices for scenery, sets, and materials used to make the pieces - as long as you don't mind making micro transactions for the sets. You start off with the checkers set, which is literally just a set of checkers with pictures of the pieces on top. For ANY other set, you need to pay money. Even the stereotypical Staunton set is locked by a micro transaction. Other purchases include the ability to unlock other difficulties besides 1 and 4 (on a 1-10 scale) and the ability to have more than one saved game (really?). That said, once you buy the sets it's a VERY beautiful app. Worth it? Maybe.
