Each match lasts about five minutes and can be played solo against AI or in 1v1 multiplayer with friends.

Holochess is a fast-paced 3v3 squad-based game with simultaneous moves, designed for short, roughly five-minute battles.

The game plays on a 5x5 grid using spatial computing to project AR gameplay into the player's physical environment.

The launch coincides with the commercialization of Xreal Aura spatial computing glasses, signaling a broader push to bring MR gaming into everyday play.

Players command a three-unit squad from one of two factions, the Clankers or the Xenoswarm, with a third faction available via a $2.99 in-app purchase.

Gameplay supports single-player and 1v1 multiplayer modes, with two free factions and the third unlockable through purchase.

Core mechanics center on eliminating the opposing squad or capturing the center tile to earn crowns, with crowns costing unit health.

As battles progress, battlefield tiles decay into dangerous zones, forcing players to adapt their strategies.

The crown system allows victory by eliminating the enemy or by holding the center tile to earn five crowns, with crown accrual impacting unit health.

Players engage in simultaneous tactical combat using fully animated AR characters on a 5x5 battlefield that integrates with the real world via Xreal Aura glasses.

Resolution Games released Holochess for free on the Google Play Store alongside the XREAL AURA glasses.

Tommy Palm, founder and CEO of Resolution Games, underscores spatial computing’s role in immersive gaming and the studio’s commitment to early experiences on new devices.
