This game is completely broken. Two things that don't work in this game and the reason you should NOT buy it. First, every time you win a level you have to exit to the level selection and select the next level, there's no NEXT button. The second is that doesn't matter the numbers you place, as long as don't surpass the limit value, YOU WIN. You don't need to do the math, you can place 1, 2 and 3 at any place and it works, it just works. Here, take a look at this: https://steamcommunity.com/id/DarkKyugara/screenshot/790864040084578276

About This Game
Kakuro is one of the most popular puzzle games of all time. A great game for training your brain.
You need to enter one number from 1 to 9 in all available cells so that, firstly, the sum of the numbers in each block matches the specified number, and secondly, so that in each block all the numbers are different.
The popular Japanese puzzle game Kakuro is based on the logical arrangement of numbers. All you need is your brain and the ability to concentrate.
The game contains 900 levels of varying difficulty and size.

Poorly coded (doesn't check the sum, just whether it's greater than this) and very unsatisfying layouts, i. e. when all sums have multiple combinations or the grid is divided into independed sections because there is only one cell connecting sections.
False name, this looks like Kakuro but it is just a poor imitation. Kakuro is a puzzle using logic and maths that looks like a crossword. Through a process of elimination you can deduce which number combinations are use and how to get the single solution. This "thing" only involves throwing combinations of number in the grid until eventually one of the multiple solutions pops up.
Puzzles often have multiple solutions, more trial-and-error than deductive puzzling.
Lacking ability to "pencil" in multiple numbers for future reference. Pretty much makes harder kakuro impossible. Not worth 79p.
If you love Kakuros, DON'T buy this game. The puzzles suffer from multiple solutions, which defeats the purpose of a proper Kakuro. There's no pencil mode, making it frustrating to keep track of possible numbers, and the initial clues seem random rather than strategically placed. A well-designed Kakuro (or Sudoku) should guide the player toward a single valid solution through logic, not guesswork. Unfortunately, this game fails in that regard.
Seems poorly made, and on occasion broken. Several of the levels have multiple endings. On the 4X4 I found at least three identical levels. I have done a lot of Kakuro in puzzle books and magazines, and these are really slapdash. Cannot recommend.
Love it
If you love Kakuros, DON'T buy this game. These puzzles have multiple solutions, no pencil mode, initial numbers seem random. A real Kakuro (or Sudoku for that matter) should not be a guessing game, but should lead the player towards the one and only valid solution by carefully laying out the prefilled numbers at the start.
I'm enjoying the challenge. It's challenging even with the hints.
