Just like Pac-Man and Space Invaders, chess has been given a new life with this remix. It keeps much of what makes the enduring board game so great, but gives it a jolt of modern video game style.

The App Store has helped to bring back the spirit of creativity and independence that was previously only seen on PC, and thanks to this resurgence we get some really cool and bizarre games. Case in point is Knight Defense HD. The game takes the basic rules of chess and transports them into a setting that mixes in tower defense and shooter elements".
