"A tiny and mighty game." - Rock Paper Shotgun

Pawnbarian is a quick-playing roguelike puzzler.

You'll use a deck of chess moves to hack and slash through hordes of enemies.

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, glory, and simply for the plain ol' fun of monster slaughter.

This is a free, in-development version of an upcoming, paid game for desktop and mobile. It'll be bigger and shinier.
