7.0Knight’s Retreat is great. If you enjoy chess and puzzle games it’s a no brainer, pick this title up. It’s challenging, and has some brilliant mechanics. At only £3.29 as well, it’s a steal.

- Pure Nintendo6.5Knight’s Retreat doesn’t change up enough to refresh the overall experience, so how long you stick with it will depend upon how much you enjoy the challenge of the puzzles themselves. In other words, the better you are at chess, the more fun this game becomes as you move along.
- Way Too Many Games7.0Knight’s Retreat might have some problems derived from its excessively minimalistic approach, but I have to commend the developers for coming up with a completely unique and very entertaining premise for a puzzle game. It doesn’t require a lot of your time, as it only features eighty puzzles, but it’s good while it lasts.
- TheXboxHub7.0Graphically, Knight’s Retreat is simple, yet effective. The pieces are easy to identify, and the camera can be moved into almost any position you like, zoomed in and out to your heart’s content. I find it easiest to plan a route while looking down almost vertically onto the board, almost like the classic chess games of yester-year, as this way it’s easy to plan the Knight” moves out in your head.
