cute so far
Great game on Chess. It's casual (for the most part) except for a few levels where there's an insane difficulty spike. But if you keep fiddling around with the pieces you'll eventually stumble upon the solution. The good news is that the enemy doesn't think too deep (which is what keeps it feeling fun and more like a "game" rather than a real life serious event). I would definitely recommend this game to everyone who loves puzzles. There's a bit of puzzle elements involved in a very refreshing chess setting.
Appears to be a game where you use a knight (or some knights) to rescue your brethren from an opposing force. You have to do so by not getting captured by the opposing pieces. Can be very tricky. Interesting.
Really great minimalist puzzle game. The recent update tripled the content of an already great game, definitely worth the price here. Knights are my least favorite chess piece, but playing them as a ninja may have changed my view of them. The difficulty scales wonderfully right up until the last level which is very very hard, but just enough to where you feel accomplished when you beat it. The only negative I have here is you can't pan the camera, only zoom and rotate. Other than that this is a standout of the minimalist puzzle genre. Edit: The developer has fixed some bugs and given the community a much-needed hint about the secret achievement, so props to him as well!
So far, so good! Too short lived at the moment, but it was fun! Most of the levels are not that difficult at the beginning. I'd say, from level 19 onward it started to get actually challenging. I'd love at least one or two stages with levels like that. You've got the scaffolding right, now you just gotta focus on the puzzles.
Um jogo muito bom, e com muitas melhorias se comparado ao jogo anterior (que também é bom). É um jogo de puzzle baseado no xadrez, onde você deve concluir as fases resgatando unidades capturadas ou apenas chegando a um determinado ponto. Você controla unidades que se movimentam como a peça do cavalo, com movimentos em "L". Este jogo tem novas mecânicas se comparados ao jogo anterior ("Chess Knights: Viking Lands"), como arbustos para se esconder e plataformas de teleporte, fases apenas de passar pelos inimigos sem perder todas as unidades, sem precisar resgatar outras; cinemáticas e gráficos simples mas muito bem feitos (tá linda a coisa). Pelo preço proposto, vale cada centavo :) Lembre-se apenas que esse jogo ainda está em acesso antecipado, então ainda faltam fases a serem acrescentadas e bugs a serem corrigidos.
I loved this game, very challenging! I felt like a real shinobi dodging the other characters (pieces) and trying to reach the goals. Nice illumination and mood in general. I really recommend!!! Congrats to the developers!
나이트를 움직여서 목적지에 도착하는 퍼즐 게임이다. 그런데 적 기물들이 어떠한 메커니즘으로 움직이는지를 모르니 짜증만 난다.
Excelente juego de estrategia y graficos bonitos Excelente videojuego 10/10 ⭐
Level 10 is glitched or something. Tried stepping onto the winning block, but no path appeared so i can't progress Edited: Fixed! Developers responded extremely quick. light, quick puzzle game
