Chess Sudoku

The app is okay, but there’s nothing to do after finishing all the puzzles. We need the new ones!

Fantastic chess sudoku puzzles from the brilliant Cracking the Cryptic team. Very easy to use, all settings can be adjusted to the user’s preferences. Money well spent!

I am a chess player so I expected chess soduku to make sense. Queen move ones though clearly have some additional rule. It says no duplicates on the diagonals, but it’s only some diagonals and not the others. For instance in puzzle 2, the 1s x out all the spots in row 5. In puzzle 1, it starts with two fours across the long upper left to lower right diagonal. Huh?!

I love this app!! The chess move limitations add such interesting new patterns and techniques. However, I’ve finished all the knight move puzzles multiple times and am getting bored of them! I’d love to see another update with more puzzles.

Puzzles number 30 In the knight sudoku has 2 solutions.

Several other reviews have stated it already, but the puzzles don’t seem to follow the queen’s move restrictions very well. One review listed a few and the very first one had multiple contradictions. I love the app but the devs should probably take a look at this.

After discovering CTC from YouTube, its safe to say I knew this app would be worth the price. The mechanics of center and corner notes, coloring, and multiple cell selection makes playing these intricate puzzles so much smoother. Not to brag but the easy puzzles were a breeze, as they should be. The hard ones definitely stumped me multiple times. Some I broke free after a couple hours but others I needed to use the hints which are very helpful. I recommend watching their videos if hesitant on the purchase, but be warned you will be a sudokuholic after!

I would highly recommend this app for anyone who has ever liked sudoku. Personally I was very into sudoku many years ago but admittedly got a tad bit bored of it. These puzzles offer a very fresh and interesting twist on classic sudoku puzzles that has rekindled my interest in sudoku.

This is a fantastic app. The puzzles are good, and train you to work your way up to the hardest ones. The variants add a tremendous amount of fun. There are three different types of puzzles, queen restriction, knight restriction, and king restriction. The solving interface is also fantastic. I highly recommend it, and I look forward to trying CTC’s other apps.

This app is amazing. The rules are interesting. The puzzles are engaging. The creators are awesome. I’ve got hours of fun out of this, and for $5, it’s easily worth it. If I had any feedback, it would be that I’d love more puzzles in the current categories, especially more difficult ones. I love the challenge of the most difficult puzzles of the app, but crave more. (though to be fair I have yet to finish the Queen Puzzles, so perhaps I shouldn’t complain).
