REX is what the developer calls a “streamlined tackle chess”: easier, simpler to be taught and faster to play (5-10 minutes), however nonetheless with some scope for strategic enjoyable.

The board is a compact 5×5 squares. Every participant begins with solely 5 items of three differing kinds, every of which has its personal motion guidelines.

These guidelines are easy – basically, they’re in a position to transfer as much as 1, 2 or 3 squares – and a built-in tutorial explains each level. Even should you neglect, there are hotkeys to remind you which ones piece is which, and the place it could possibly transfer.

There’s help for taking part in in opposition to the pc, with 4 ranges of AI, or a good friend.

REX has been developed utilizing the Unity sport engine, which suggests it’s totally effectively introduced. A gap display screen asks you to pick display screen decision, graphics high quality, goal monitor and optionally set your hotkeys. The graphics are nice, with the board and items displayed in a gorgeously rendered 3D view (even the wooden of the encompassing desk seems to be ultra-realistic).

Please notice: we discovered REX generally paused on launch, maybe for a number of seconds. At first we assumed it had locked up, so closed this system down and tried once more, however finally we realised there was simply an odd delay. If the identical factor occurs to you, wait, it’s going to most likely hearth up after a number of extra seconds, and there aren’t any extra pauses as soon as it is up and operating.
