Description

Chess-inspired puzzle roguelike. Demo - single IAP unlocks full game.

The demo is ad-free. It contains a single character and dungeon.

Pawnbarian is a turn-based puzzle roguelike with bite-sized, but challenging sessions. Play cards to control your hero like a chess piece on a tiny dungeon board, outmaneuver enemies with their assortment of tricky abilities, and become the mightiest warrior of the Chesslands!

Features
- Use a deck of chess pieces to hack and slash through hordes of monsters.
- Pick up the basics instantly if you're familiar with chess, or learn in minutes if you aren't.
- Carefully plan your moves to navigate challenging, emergent tactical situations.
- Spend treasure to upgrade your cards with additional powers.
- Blitz through quick 15-30 minute runs - or die trying.
- Take on the infinite post-run Gauntlet to see how long you can survive.
- Pick from 6 characters to conquer 3 dungeons, all requiring an unique approach.
- Progress through Chains, a series of extra difficulty modifiers.

Not Features
- No permanent upgrades, and not much that needs unlocking. The progress and satisfaction come from your growing mastery of the game's elegant systems!
- No complex and varied builds. The shops provide a few key decisions, but the bulk of the roguelike depth lies in how you approach the emergent combat puzzles!

Awesome game but scared to commit

First things first, awesome game, I love the chess move gameplay and think there is a sufficient amount of upgrades for the pieces and variation in enemies and floors, all done amazingly. I finished the first dungeon on my 3rd or 4th run and was excited for more and was a bit spooked by the price, I definitely want to buy it but don’t currently have any free money at this time.

Don’t be discouraged though, I will be buying when I can x:)

Great game

I love how every decision in this game brings big consequences. It requires you to think before you do which isn’t something you see in a lot of other games. The graphics remove the experience of playing on a mobile device and really suit what the game is.

Super fun tactical game

Really enjoyed this game, cleared the max chains (difficulty levels) on 4 characters. Hoping the developer releases more characters/ventures/sequel games or any new ideas.
