What players say

Players are split on this short wild-west jigsaw game. Some praise the challenge of chess-shaped pieces and the no-preview option, while others report save corruption, pieces snapping together wrong, and a grating soundtrack. Some label it an asset flip, others enjoy the themed puzzles from the Chess Knights series.
