Short description

Warriors clash in an epic chess battle where the fallen can be revived through the King’s Mana! Choose your battlefield, I mean your board, craft your ultimate strategy, harness your Mana, and defeat your enemy to claim glory!

About this game

Chess of Mana is chess like you’ve never seen before, a magical battlefield where capturing a piece isn’t the end… it’s just the beginning. In this vibrant fantasy world, Celts and Orcs clash in strategic duels powered by a magical resource called Mana. With it, you can revive fallen pieces and turn the tide of battle in unexpected ways. Forget the fear of making bold moves and losing your pieces! In Chess of Mana, every move can trigger a comeback, and every fallen unit has the potential to return to the fight. Here, the King is more than just a target, he is the source of all Mana power. A brand-new way to play chess where pieces can return to the battlefield! Mana Chess redefines traditional strategy and introduces entirely new tactical playstyles. The ability to revive captured pieces creates a fresh dynamic that has even experienced chess players rethinking their approach. Prefer a more traditional experience? You can play Classic Chess too! Enjoy standard chess gameplay enhanced by Chess of Mana’s charming pixel art visuals and epic soundtrack. Let’s be honest, it’s way more fun watching characters sprint across the board and clash in battle during every capture. Chess of Mana features a unique artistic direction and expressive animations that transform the board into a true battlefield. Every capture feels satisfying and impactful. Just wait until you see the Queen’s magical powers in action, it’s seriously awesome. In war, the battlefield is always someone’s homeland. That’s why Chess of Mana features themed boards that create unique battle atmospheres for each match. We put a lot of love into the pixel art, and it truly stands out as one of the game’s visual highlights.

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $1.79
  • Highest observed: $1.79

Chess of Mana's USD price history spans from Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $1.79, the highest is $1.79, and the first visible tracked price is $1.79. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 1
  • Discounted days: 1 day
  • Deepest markdown: -80%
  • Latest sale window: Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026

SteamPulse has grouped rows carrying discount metadata into 1 recorded discount window, covering 1 calendar day and 1 discounted snapshot. The deepest recorded markdown is -80%, with a lowest recorded final price of $1.79 during rows named Steam sale. The latest recorded window starts Sep 23, 2026 and ends Sep 23, 2026, spanning 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking. Window boundaries follow the available snapshots, so gaps in coverage can make an actual sale shorter or longer than the recorded span.

Recorded sale names include Steam sale. The table reports the observed markdown, final price, snapshot dates, and any sale name supplied with the row. It can show whether similar discounts recur in the retained record, but it does not infer publisher intent, demand, or the reason a price changed.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $1.79, from Sep 23, 2026 through Sep 23, 2026. The latest run records $1.79 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking with a listed discount from $8.99. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $1.79
  • Current list price: $8.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Chess of Mana at $1.79 in USD, with a listed base price of $8.99 and a -80% markdown. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
