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
