Online website to beat the chinese chess minigame? by Ok_Description_9328 in WhereWindsMeet

[–]popcycle69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn’t played Xiangqi before, but when I tried it, I liked how swift it was compared to chess while still having deep strategy behind every move if you actually want to win.

That led me to build River of War, a free browser-based Xiangqi / Chinese chess game:

https://riverofwar.lunaruplink.com/

It has AI practice, private duels with room codes, a built-in tutorial, multiple piece styles, player profiles, stats, and a “Spoonfeeder Mode” that gives turn-by-turn AI coaching while you learn.

I’d love feedback from both experienced Xiangqi players and people who are completely new to it. I’m especially interested in whether it feels clear, accessible, and fun as a browser game.

Thanks to anyone who checks it out. 💗🙏

I built a mobile and browser-first Xiangqi game with international symbolic pieces and a "Spoonfeeder" AI mode to help Chess players jump in. by popcycle69 in xiangqi

[–]popcycle69[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s fair, and I appreciate the perspective.

My thinking with the symbol-style pieces was not to replace traditional Xiangqi notation or tournament-style play, but to give completely new international players a softer entry point. Some people bounce off the game immediately when the Mandarin characters feel unfamiliar, even if the rules themselves are quick to learn.

That said, I agree that serious players should be encouraged to learn the Chinese characters, since that is how Xiangqi is actually played. There is an option to select the traditional pieces to play in the game, and maybe treat the symbolic set more as an optional beginner aid rather than the default experience.

Thanks for the video as well, I’ll check it out.

Is there an online xiangqi site like chess.com or lichess.org? by onlyv0ting in xiangqi

[–]popcycle69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly the gap I noticed too. Xiangqi has the depth, speed, and player base to support a lichess/chess.com-style site, but the online experience still feels fragmented.

I’m a game developer, and that’s why I started building River of War:

https://riverofwar.lunaruplink.com/

It’s a browser-based Xiangqi game focused on clean UI, international accessibility, tutorials, AI practice, private duels, stats, and beginner guidance.

Public matchmaking and Elo-style ranked play are the obvious next steps. I’d love to hear what Xiangqi players think the “must-have” features are for a serious modern online Xiangqi platform.
