Soko-Ban Overview
Soko-Ban is a puzzle game where players navigate a warehouse environment. The objective involves moving crates onto specific marked locations to complete each stage. A crate can only be pushed, not pulled, and must be moved individually, which can lead to irreversible blockages if positioned incorrectly.
Different versions of the game contain varying quantities of levels, drawing from the original release and its sequel. One common version includes 53 levels, while the MSX version has 60. The Epoch Game Pocket Computer edition features 65 levels with exclusive content, and the SG-1000 version offers 100 levels by incorporating additional level sets.
The puzzle design can become challenging, requiring extensive forward planning in later stages. Success depends on careful sequencing of moves, as missteps can render a crate permanently stuck.
