The gameplay in Sokochess White is a clever blend of chess piece mechanics and sokoban-style puzzles, offering a balanced challenge that keeps players engaged with its innovative mechanics and well-designed levels.

Overall, the game successfully introduces new elements at a satisfying pace, ensuring a varied and enjoyable puzzle-solving experience.
- “Not only does it make sense from the way each chess piece moves on a board, the mechanics from Sokoban make for some really interesting and clever puzzles, some of which took me quite a while to figure out.”

- “Sokochess White is a fun puzzle game that mixes chess piece mechanics with Sokoban-like pushing puzzles.”
