Reviews
Take my review with a grain of salt, I played about six or seven minutes to get through the first fifteen puzzles or so. As a lifelong chess player the mechanics of this game feel weird. Instead of the piece you're moving taking out the piece it lands on, the piece you land on absorbs the piece you moved. Move a knight over a pawn, the pawn stays in its spot. The pieces are also shaped strangely, so it's not immediately easy to discern the difference between pieces. Maybe the game picks up and becomes more interesting, but there was nothing to hook me in the early going. If I could easily pick up what the pieces were, and didn't have to rewrite my years of chess mechanics in my muscle memory I probably would have kept going. It's frustrating undoing moves or resetting the board because the pieces I've known my entire life aren't doing what they've always done.
Not a great puzzle game. While the first few dozen levels are fine, the game notably revolves into trial & error later on. Levels get too big, with too many pieces and essentially no way to plan ahead as there are way too many variables at play, leaving you to guess randomly for ages. If the entire game would be like the first 50 or so levels, it would be a recommendation; as it stands, it is a no from me.

Instead of Hang The Kings I want to Hang Myself.
체스 말을 지네 좆대로 좆같은 디자인으로 바꿨으면은 유저에게 이해가 잘되게 직관적으로 알 수 있는 말마다 확실하게 다른 구분감있는 디자인으로 만들어놨어야되는데 무슨 인스타에 공사판 카페 보고 오홍홍 너무 갬-성 있지않뉘~? 홍홍 하면서 좋아요 누르고 찾아가는 대가리빈년들이 좋아할 갬성 체스말로 디자인을 쳐 해놨어 ㅡㅡ 심지어 체스 말은 좆같이 높게 해놔서 뒤에 있는 말을 눌러서 움직이고싶은데 앞에서 가리니까 안눌러짐 ㅋㅋㅋ 퍼즐 기믹은 다른 퍼즐에서 볼 수 있는 흔한 기믹들 쳐들고오고 말 디자인은 좆같이 해놓고 프로필 기능 제한걸려서 라딸도 못하는 개븅신 버러지같은 게임
3/10 click on the piece you want to move, now click on the t, click on th, click on the til, click, cl, cli, click, click on, click on t, click on the t, click on th, cl, click, click on the tile......THANK GO IT WORKED THIS TIME now i gotta do that 7 more times to win because i already solved the puzzle well trying to move the first piece its got a weird system of rules where the moved piece dies until you get to the king and kill him with your last move.
Hang the Kings is an interesting item in Minimol Games' interminable series of chess-inspired games. While it is built around the chess pieces and the basic chess moves, we have something very different instead of capturing - the captured figure swallows the one trying to capture it. With this logic, the player needs to clean the board with the King being the last figure to be captured. So far, simple enough - but while you start with a single color for all pieces, after some levels there's a new color added. And then the capture mechanic goes berserk - if a red bishop captures a blue knight, then the result will be a red knight. As weird it sounds, it's a perfectly valid, if unusual gameplay mechanic. With the number of colours going as high as four, there's potential for fiendishly difficult puzzles. They don't materialize, eventually, but many of the later levels are quite fun. The visuals are nice, although reflections and glare are overdone and from some angles the visibility of the pieces is poor. Otherwise, the game works very well - it's nothing groundbreaking, just some decent brain-teasing fun.
Awesome
全100レベルクリア後のレビューです。 キングに他の駒を集約させるゲームです。 チェスの駒の動きが分かれば遊べます。 難易度は簡単ですね、雑に動かして駒が減ってから考えてもクリアできるレベルが多かった印象です。 難易度の上げ方が色が増えるだけなので単調に感じました。 ルールは ①キング以外に同じ色の駒が複数ある場合、キングに駒を重ねれない ②駒は他の駒があるマスにしか移動できない ③移動元と移動先の駒の種類が異なる場合、移動先の駒が残る ④移動元と移動先の駒の色が異なる場合、移動元の色が残る 基本的に駒を重ねるという事は、駒を取るという本来のチェスの動きなので「何がどこに移動できるか」「キングと重ねれる駒はいくつあるか」など盤面を把握する能力は鍛えれるかと。 少し面倒だと感じた点として「選択中の駒を見失うと分かりづらい」です。 選択中の駒があるマスは色を付ける、盤面外をクリックで選択を解除できるなどがあれば良かったと思います。
Hang The Kings an okay chess inspired puzzle game. You have to sack/capture the pieces in the right order in 100 levels. Certainly not a must buy, even for chess aficionados, but it's cheap and works as advertised.
