The demo version is completely ad-free and includes a single character and dungeon, allowing players to experience the excitement of the game firsthand.

Pawnbarian, the turn-based puzzle roguelike, offers bite-sized yet challenging gaming sessions. By utilizing a deck of chess pieces, players can strategically control their hero on a miniature dungeon board, outmaneuvering enemies with their diverse range of abilities. As you progress through the Chesslands, your goal is to become the mightiest warrior.

Key Features:

  • Quickly grasp the basics if you're familiar with chess, or learn them within minutes even if you aren't.
  • Devise careful strategies to navigate challenging tactical situations.
  • Upgrade your cards with additional powers using acquired treasure.

  • Test your endurance in the infinite post-run Gauntlet.
  • Select from 6 unique characters and conquer 3 dungeons, each requiring a distinct approach.
  • Progress through Chains, a series of extra difficulty modifiers.

Notable Aspects:

  • No permanent upgrades or extensive unlocking features. The game's elegance lies in mastering its systems.
  • Simplicity in character builds. While shops offer key decisions, the true depth of the gameplay lies in approaching the emergent combat puzzles.
