This is a game that uses chess pieces, but with slight modifications to movement (e.g., the pawn can move forward 1 or 2 spaces, but still can only capture forward diagonally). The demo featured a tutorial followed by 18 levels which varied in difficulty from easy to medium (the game's Steam store page indicates there are 80+ levels in the full game). The music was lovely and peacefui. It is notably one of the most lovely soundtracks I've heard in a video game.
Note that familiarity with basic movement in chess would help, otherwise the game puzzles would be harder. With that being said, the game does provide indicators on where the player can move and where the enemy pieces can move.
After completing the demo, I went into the options and noticed the game had what looked to be a comprehensive choice of color settings for color blindness - this was the first time I saw a video game with color blind option being more than just a choice of off and on.
Overall, I think this game would appeal to casual puzzle players. In my experience, I've played enough of these simpler puzzle games to pass on it. I would, however, consider buying the soundtrack.
Steam Game Time: 25 minutes (cumulative game time)
