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!

Developer Response ,

Hey! The demo model is and always was explained in the first line of the game description. My intention is to give away a decent slice of the game to see if it's worth it for you and make an informed purchase, certainly not to bait and disappoint anyone. I have to make money somehow to continue making games, but don't like ads and microtransactions, so the only alternative would be a pure premium game without any free content to try. Hope you understand!

Demo!

Good concept but it did not outright said it’s a demo. You need to buy the full game. A bit disappointed.

Just in case, since some people miss that - there's a full Goblin Caves dungeon to learn and master, not just the short Tutorial Island that teaches you the game.
