How it feels

A slow, meditative puzzle game where you methodically deflect enemy pieces across a larger chessboard.

What players say

Players are split on the marking system that lets you highlight dangerous squares. Some see it as a helpful addition, others say it defeats the challenge. The biggest complaint is the lack of save progress or level select, meaning you must finish all 50 levels in one sitting or restart from the beginning. The game is short, about 1.5 to 2 hours, and feels very similar to the first Chess Valley.
