Unlock The King

[h1] 소코반 퍼즐류 중에 단연코 쉬운 편에 속해서, 간편하게 즐기기 좋다. [/h1] 체스의 기물을 중심으로 한 소코반류 게임으로 소개하고 있다. [h3] "Unlock the king" [/h3] 이라는 제목에 맞게, 이동하는 기물은 "킹"이지만 턴의 제약을 받지 않으므로 "퀸"과 다를바가 없음. 실제로 가로,세로 뿐 아니라 대각선도 이동 가능하기 때문에, 하나만 있는 답이 아니라 매우 널널한 판정과 난이도를 가지고 있다. 이 게임의 단점으로는 [spoiler] 기능상으로 Undo(되돌아가기) 버튼이 없다는 것 [/spoiler] 그리고 특수 발판의 역할을 미리 알 수 없어서 트라이 해봐야 하는 점이 문제다.[strike](숨겨져 있기도 함)[/strike] 솔직히 기물의 역할(폰,나이트,비숍,룩)을 구별하는게 제일 어려웠을 정도니, 더할나위 없이 쉬운 편이다.

[h1]King always reaches checkmate.[/h1] [b][u]PROS[/u]:[/b] Unlock The King is a sokoban style chess puzzle game. The goal is to move various chess pieces around a confined board to clear a path for the king to reach the goal. Though simple at first, new mechanics are introduced such as buttons that move the tiles around to create new pathways. The puzzles have a simple design to them, making finding the solutions rewarding for a lot of the later challenges. The design is simple & minimalist, with little in the way for visual flair, though the soundtrack is fairly haunting thanks to that approach. [b][u]CONS[/u]:[/b] The game comes with 100 puzzles, & offers little reason to go back to play them again, unless one wants to go through an extra playthough. Thankfully, that really is the only flaw this title carries. [b][u]ACHIEVEMENTS[/u]:[/b] For those who love chess, this list will come easy. All of the achievements are unlocked for clearing out all of the puzzles. None stand out as particularly difficult, but a few can test your knowledge when it comes to piece positioning. [b][u]FINAL[/u]:[/b] Unlock The King is a simple but fun chess puzzle game that does exactly what it sets out to. Though there is a limited number of puzzles, the slick design helps one easily ignore that. It just does exactly what it sets out to do in a satisfying way, designed to complete at one's own pace. With an low price on top of that, I can easily recommend this game to anyone looking for a set of fun chess puzzles.
