It's not clear from the store page; is the online multiplayer asynchronous?

[≓Sean Colombo≒]

Hi Atrus1,
Both players have to be online at the same time.

We hope to add completely-async play at some point, but we'll have to rewrite our game to use our server instead of Steam networking (so that'll take a while). We don't have a specific timeline on when we might add that.

Let us know if you have any other questions :)

UPDATED: Async has been added.

Great game :)

I wish it had a feature to discard the turn and could do another thing if you make a mistake.

I'm having several problems with the figures rotation :S as I'm learning the game

[≓Sean Colombo≒]

@Ossisaverni: thanks... glad you like it! :) Hmm, it seems like quite a few people can be confused by rotation... maybe there's a way we could make an option so you could turn it on where you'd have to confirm your rotation was the one you wanted before actually playing it.

[Ossisaverni]

That's would be great for new players to this game.
In a board would be easy to rotate them but here I think will need some practice and It's a bit frustating when you make a mistake (as you are learning) and don't make the move you were thinking to do.

I have won a game against easy IA and didn't take the "A'noob'is" achievement.
I killed its pharaon with 4 mirrors (2 were mine) and the last piece was my scarab and I didn't take the Khepri achievement neither.
I don't know if this is right or not.

[≓Sean Colombo≒]

@Ossisaverni: for the Khepri achievement, the last piece you MOVE has to be the Scarab, rather than the last piece in the laser path. Was that the case? I can see how that would be confusing that that's the case anyway.

[darthdurden]

We got another report of the A'noob'is achievement bug. We'll investigate!

[Ossisaverni]

I think it was the scarab the last piece i moved ... but i don't sure now.
Thanks for the great feadback! :)

I love this game . bought it for my son in law ( the boardgame that is ) . happy to see a digital version .

maybe when a piece is picked up and can be rotated in the air so a player could then feel comfortable theyve got the right direction etc then hit enter or whatever to accept .

I also play chess on chess.com and i can have 20 , or 30 games going at once with players commiting to a move at their leisure with 3 or 5 day timed turns . granted this becomes a longer way to play a game but with 20 or 30 going at once with KHET it would be awesome !

[MadKhemist]

I really like this game, it gives an interesting twist on the mechanics of chess.

[≓Sean Colombo≒]

@MadChemist glad you like it! :D thanks for playing!

I've played my first three games versus Anubis. As in other areas of my life, I maybe my own worst enemy! At the moment, in this game, I am DUMBER THAN DIRT!

I like the game. My physical limitations are totally irrelevant, unlike some other games. It will take a while to master this, and that's okay.

After I pass through the "Khet for Dummies" phase, I'm probably going to be the wondering who has already designed a way to play this via email like folks do chess?

[darthdurden]

WorthyMoman, we're lad you like the game and we have some good news! We are actually implementing asynchronous play right now! We expect to have it out before the end of the month. You'll still play via Steam, but you'll get notifications when it is your turn, so you can leave and come back and play the same game over a longer period of time. We'll keep you posted!

[The Otaku K_A_T]
