Our take on Chess Valley 2
The single-king objective gives each stage a clear route-planning focus, but sacrifices the broader range of decisions that comes from controlling a full chess position or an army of units.
What is Chess Valley 2?
Chess Valley 2 is a chess-themed puzzle game about guiding a king across labyrinthine boards and bringing enemy pieces onto his side.
Players redirect opposing pieces while deciding which squares the king should cross. The game contains 50 new stages, and each board is twice the size of the original game's board. Square markings provide a way to record places the king should or should not enter during route planning. The king moves with WASD, while C changes the camera view. Left mouse clicks mark squares on the board. The objective remains focused on crossing each board rather than playing a conventional chess match.
