About Take the King!

The august chessboard crumbles. The millennia-old battlefield, foundation of all laws, has been desecrated. Is the era of symmetrical confrontations over?

How to govern a crumbling kingdom? How to restore the balance of all things? First victim of this cataclysm, will the brave King be able to survive in his quest for great harmony?

Concept

  • Help the King on his great quest.
  • Try to solve the hundred puzzles the game offers you.
  • Complete secondary objectives to unlock bonuses.

Fun little puzzle game based on Chess rules but with some twists like holes & walls on the board. There's a good amount of levels with each having a number of optional challenges that'll make you try different strategies on each level. There's a good difficulty curve with some of the later levels' challenges proving to be quite difficult.

Take the King! is an interesting puzzle game and has a fun little story to go along with it The game has a pretty chill vibe and the 3d models & drawings are cute I recommend if you're a fan of the puzzle genre and like chess with a little twist added to it ! I'll edit my review once I finish it ;) 1st edit : don't let the cuteness fool you, this is a hard puzzle game, I'm stuck on chapter 2-9, it feels like it becomes too hard a bit too fast imo It would be nice if we could have some in game tips after trying levels over and over, I'll keep trying for now, I hope the difficulty curve gets better after that level

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
