Reviews for Black Knight:Insurrection

almost perfect.

This game is a highly addictive puzzle game and I fully recommend it, this game is in it's own right a reimagination of chess.

This game has a lot of great aspects that go toward making a puzzle game. The movement very solid smooth and simple and the fact that this is based on a game of chess fully utilizes the different parts of the game, for example you play as a knight and you have to kill off the other pieces that you would also find in a game of chess, the other pieces move and even act like they normally would, and the look of the figures was also great.

However, with all that good comes some bad, in some of the later levels I would end up at the end of the board opposite to where I first began and enemies will pop up; due to having a camera that seems to be in the middle of birds eye view and regular person view I found this difficult to move because it was hard to find out which way the enemy was pointing.

This game offers great presentation, the music in the game was great and didn't distract the players mind from focusing on his next move, the solution to each puzzle was fair and the difficulty scale went up at a very smooth pace. So for have a great art style, lovely music, beautiful gameplay machanics but a somewhat faulty camera position which you just can't move, this gets :

9.1/10

A nice twist on an old game of strategy.

This game both expands and contracts the concept of chess into a mind-teaser that is fun to play.

great!

One of the best puzzle games that I've played on Newgrounds! I'm not really much of a chess player, and when I saw it I thought, "Ah, shit, some chess thing." But actually, I found something much more original with chess pieces. I sometimes forget that you're only playing as a knight... just because changing the movement of the chess piece itself, sometime throws me off. The game was quite addicting, I played for about 40 minutes total, and got to level 20. It's not confusing to master any controls either. just click, kill the king, grab the star, win. Sure made it easier than explained. So, alright, overall, you did a badass job. It's only getting a number score lower because it really isn't one of my favorites.... however it probably deserves a 10.

9/10

Needed more puzzling

Great game. It was really fun to play and getting to use the different move sets of the pieces was fun. I was always looking for cool ways to make use of them. I felt like sometimes though, all there was to it was for a piece to randomly move into my killing area. It felt a little cheap. I would have liked to have seen more movement based puzzles.

Also, Level 15 is pretty tough unless you make good use of the King's movement set. Try it out, you'll get it.
