(Please fill out the survey! It's very short and I need it for my thesis!)

Pawnbarian is a quick playing roguelike puzzler.

You'll maneuver through hordes of enemies using chess moves, hacking and slashing your way to victory.

Careful strategy, playing around all sorts of statuses and traits, and some light deck-building will help you along the way through this unforgiving dungeon crawl. For treasure and glory! Mostly glory.

Android and iOS versions planned soon after the Steam release.

Please note that this is an early, barebones alpha. Much more is planned! This version contains just a few fixed encounters, a lot of placeholder graphics, and no sound.

Pawnbarian is an expanded reimagining of a critically-acclaimed 7 Day Roguelike game jam entry. You can play the prototype here:
