Our take on Chess Knights: High Noon

The likely bounce point is the chess-based movement system: progress depends on placing Knights on squares from which they can shoot. Players who do not enjoy planning within those movement constraints may hit a wall when the story levels increase in complexity.

What is Chess Knights: High Noon?

Chess Knights: High Noon is a Western-themed puzzle game inspired by chess.

All pieces use chess movement, but the objective is to move Knights across the board until they reach squares from which they can shoot and kill other pieces. Story Mode follows hunts for gunslingers through narratives containing 15 hand-crafted levels each, with rising complexity and a final duel. Duel Mode presents more than 100 hand-crafted duel puzzles. Players clear pieces in their path and face Wanted Ones in kill-or-be-killed encounters. The game also includes an original soundtrack drawing on classical Western movies. Fame and dollars provide the setting for the gunslinger theme.
