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!

Great game but…

orange justice on

New Zealand

Amazing game no ads even in demo great play and amazingly fun but for full game $12 seems a bit much for a iPhone game I would probably get it if it was a bit cheaper not saying free as a lot of effort was put into this game but $12 is very high

Very creative and clever

Most mobile games are huge cash grabs or ad farms lately so I always love to find a hidden gem like this, the idea alone to turn chess into a fighting dungeon game like this is amazing in itself, and this dude executed it PERFECTLY. I am trying to become a game developer myself, and this is the kind of game I strive to make

Great game but I hate it when games are demos and they don’t tell you.

Amazing, need more mobile games like this.

I’ve only played the demo and had a blast. I plan on buying the full game (just moved and got a new job, waiting for payday). I’m personally a sucker for roguelike/roguelite games and for chess. When I found this game combined the two, I HAD to try it out. The tutorial was straightforward (if you actually take the time to read) and the Goblin Caves were challenging, making me actually think. It took me about 1.5 hours to get through the demo (tutorial and Goblin Caves) and was 100% worth my time. Looking forward to buying the full game and future updates!

Shogun:worth the price of figuring out how the heck you use it or not

Answer yes. Mystic and Nomad characters are also amazing! 😻 Plz buy the full game! Game designers please make a sequel or a series of books! (Maybe even a show…)

Amazing game but iPad version needs some work

Zackery/KillHerFirst on

United States

I have this game on my phone and it works great! It’s so much fun I highly recommend! I bought the full version and everything! I love it! But on iPad it won’t let you click some items. It gets even worse when I use an Apple Pencil like it doesn’t register it until I use my finger then it work for a little bit till it does it again! I’d love if that could get fixed! But great game! Love the concept!

DEVASTATINGLY UNDERRATED

Replay value is near infinite. Easy to pick up, with a near endless skill ceiling! Starts simple, becomes infinitely complex. DEV PLEASE MAKE MORE GAMES I LOVE YOU 😭😍

Great game

Kinda sad I can’t play the full version without paying though. Worth it in my opinion, but I’m poor

An excellent old school game

Echoes in the hall on

United States

This game is exactly what I want in a module game. Play is novel while building on an internal logic of its own. Art design is clear and clever, like the very best of old school games. This game does an amazing job and understanding it’s own ambitions and meeting them. It doesn’t try to do too much while also being ambition in its complexity. Systems are well balanced and reward thorough understanding of mechanics without being overly complicated. In every regard the design of this game is elegant. Nothing is wasted. It reminds me of a jewelry box, small, beautifully crafted, and purposeful.

VOIDGRASP IS THE WORST

PrivateTuckrrr on

United States

Voidgrasp causing damage when applies multiple times breaks the game. In my humble opinion. Everything else is great. Edit: after further review, I’m doubling down on Voidgrasp being the worst thing ever. Please please change it, the third level is virtual unbeatable by certain characters.
