Reviews
I'm not a chess player, but I found this game to somehow scratch that part of my brain that wishes I could be good at tactics. It has the right minimalistic but isometric style that allows you to envision the moves. I love that there is no counter stressing your brain. It's like a relaxing puzzle that can take me a few minutes or I can leave it unsolved for an hour and come back to it during the day. It also has the right sounds and camera viewpoints to see things from a different angle and move at your heart's content. Highly recommended for a relaxing puzzle to keep in the background. I love the traps and secret mechanisms that come in later.

I got this game for free and was still barely worth the time invested IMHO. Wouldn't pay for this, puzzles are lackluster and quite easy to go through. As someone not knowledged greatly in chess was still easy to complete. As someone who enjoys being puzzled by puzzle games, I cannot recommend
fun and difficulty very good.
A very good puzzle game with an interesting concept, nice graphics and relaxing music. The difficulty level is moderate. Most of the puzzles may be too easy for players with much experience in similar games, but there are some quite tricky ones amongst the many differently challenging stages.
Knight's Retreat(骑士撤退)是一款休闲解谜小游戏，总体难度并不高，只要了解新出现的机关机制，解决谜题还是很轻松的，难的话也只有部分关卡会难一点。把骑士撤退到撤退的终点即可过关，但每撤退一步，之前的格子便会被破坏掉，终点格子则没有这个影响。有会一起行动的连环骑士，有踩下去棋盘会移动的方格按钮，有踩下后棋盘会部分翻转过来的圆圈按钮。 全成就达成。
Very skillful but relaxing game
和《交换骑士》差不多（就相当于每一个格子都是《交换骑士2》里的玻璃板），但因为添加了山川、河流这样的背景，明显更赏心悦目。 缺点是不让跳关，必须把一个场景全部通过才能解锁下一个场景。目前刚通关第一个大地图，第二个大地图是渡河，有按下按钮木筏移位这样一个新的设定，但我脑子已经累到玩不动了。 这类游戏都太费脑子了，一次不能玩太多。 —— 已通关，总体还是很休闲的，就是最后火山那个关卡对眼睛不友好。
TLDR: surprisingly good. After three installments of unlocking the king, creators Minimol Games decided to do something drastically different - they chose to... retreat the knight. This kind of approach has the significant risk of rehashing the same old in new clothes, but actually Knight's Retreat is a very good game on its own, and only shares the chess theme with the UtK series. The audiovisuals are much improved and differently styled, the small and annoying control bugs are missing, and most importantly, the puzzles depart from the attrition-heavy approach of the predecessor. They are still not horribly difficult, but generally satisfactory, and there are a few quite good headscratchers in there. Wholeheartedly recommended.
Got this for the Tilt Five. Only played it briefly but it's really well done and a great little concept. Well worth the price tag.
