Chess Knights: Viking Lands

Very cool addition to Chess Knights series! I simply love the series and its take on puzzle games using chess movements. The Viking theme is amazing: the visuals.... the soundtrack and sound effetcs... just... AMAZING! IMHO, great value for bucks paid. HELHEIM AWAAAAITS!!!!

It's been a while since I played chess and when I tried this game I could remember that beginner feeling. I Recommend this game for those who like chess and also likes a good mind challenge. I liked some scenario items left behind … buckets, wooden decks and wagons that block areas in board, these kind of things got rid of predicables movements and make things more challenging. I also liked the way some parts got half-covered by snow, this increase the challenge and make me think twice on choosing where to move … specially against Bishops. A little suggestion to improve a sense of progress could be some kind of icon or text that tells the current chapter and stage.

A challenging puzzle game that will make you the knight´s master in chess. Increasingly difficult and elaborate levels will make you mad. Great graphics, must buy !!!

Minimol Games really know how to create puzzle games and compared with the other from the franchise this is the one I like the most. Stunning Low Poly environments with a great experience in solving puzzles is a perfect combination. Fully recommended!

Chess Knights: Viking Lands offers you a great rescue puzzle experience with chess pieces, but you don't need to know about chess to play and this is amazing! The art of the game is very beautiful and the soundtrack and sound effects helps you to keep the focus and solve the challenges! If you love puzzles, enjoy wonderful art and soundtrack, this game is made for you!

This game is boring as ♥♥♥♥ and not challenging at all. Despite what the description says this game is not innovative in the slightest, all you do is take control of a knight and move in an L-Shape until you eventually beat the puzzle. I have absolutely no idea how people can say this game is "immersive" and has "great graphics". Even for three dollars I can't recommend this game. BTW I really wanted to like this game because I love chess.

[h1]Описание:[/h1] Шахматы на прохождение в стилистике викингов. Мы играем конями и должны пройдя через поле добраться до других наших фигур и перенести их в безопасные клетки. Просто шахматы у разработчика получились очень не очень... А вот такие с интересными уровнями прям зашли... Даже захотелось купить другие игры серии! ИИ тут тоже немного глуповатый, но от этого и проходить интереснее потому что не понятно будет он сейчас тупить или пойдет как надо и будет мешать... Еще вышло бесплатное обновление с дополнительными сложными уровнями в меню (прошел их только наполовину). Саму игру прошел с удовольствием и рекомендую.

If you like to play chess competitively, skip this one. Chill puzzles involving chess movements.

The VFX of the snow and fireflies are the best part of this game. It's a good game, but for a lot of stages the solutions can be simple by throwing bodies at the enemies and walking the rescues back with no strategy. Knights Shinobi beats this by a mile, which is why I wouldn't recommend this even though the game is fine.

Move chess knights across varying boards to pick up pieces from one square and return them to home squares while avoiding being taken by AI driven enemy pieces. There are a lot of issues here, the difficulty wildly varies, though ultimately never gets particularly clever and many of the puzzles become just a matter of moving one of your safe pieces back and forth until the board state lets you win. Some levels try to limit that which is where you feel a sudden difficulty spike which just ends up being more frustrating than challenging. What makes this worse is how ridiculously intensive the game is, my GPU fans were spinning up to max, and I was dropping frames in a chess puzzle game... It doesnt look particularly terrible, but there certainly isnt enough to justify that kind of hit. (Maybe it was bugged out, makes no real difference either way.) The interface is also horrible. Some levels will just kick you back to the menu, it doesnt make it at all clear which levels youve completed. (A problem with the bonus levels that all appear to unlock at once with no indication of which youve finished.) Moving pieces is sluggish, its undo doesnt work consistently, etc. The basic interface and mechanics are very simple, I can not see any justification for how shoddy it all feels. So no, I cant really recommend this, and I believe there are several other chess based puzzle games on Steam that do a much better job of things.
