    Unlock the King is an inventive take on the classic game of chess. It will certainly help if you are familiar with the rules of chess, but the game challenges you a new way, unlike any other variation you might have experienced.

    I use the switch docked 99% of the time so when I got up to level 71 I could only move one piece in one direction and then the next square moved out of the map and I couldn’t reach it. I was about ready to give up on the game, as disappointed as I was, and find something else until I remembered the game had touch controls.

However, the fact I had to use touch controls in a game that’s touch and controller compatible makes me think it wasn’t properly tested before release. It is only on version 1.0.0 so it’s new and I can’t complain too much, but maybe they’ll fix this issue in the future.
