Fun and clever deck builder chess combo with clean aesthetics.

I originally played the game jam version and loved it. The full release has More. Like, a lot more. It's a rougelike that starts simple but gets messy FAST, which is my favorite kind of game.

Its fine but just could not keep me playing after 30 minutes of beating the tutorial and goblin cave with ease.

It's chess but I always feel like a dumbass

i've only finished the first couple dungeons so far, but i didn't wanna wait any longer to recommend this

one of the most creative puzzlers i've played in some time. basing a roguelike/card game around the rules of chess seems bonkers, but it works absurdly well and without feeling like rng bullshit in the slightest. every death is earned and no run is doomed from the start

also there's a fucking SHOGI mode. what the fuck. play this game

check out the free (albeit very barebones) web version here: https://j4nw.itch.io/pawnbarian


Um jogo muito bem pensado, a maneira que eles pegam a ideia do xadrez e a elevam a um jogo single player sem o deixar chato foi muito bem pensada. O jogo te deixa preso o tempo todo, cada ação sua tem que ser bem pensada, cada turno tem que valer a pena, o cuidado é alto.

E com uma certa customização o jogo se mantém diferente do início ao fim, diversas classes com habilidades e peças diferentes, inimigos feitos de maneira única na movimentação e maneiras específicas de serem derrotados.

Como um Roguelike é um jogo ótimo, ele é rápido, pratico, e customizável. Como um jogo de estratégia ele funciona, mas não exige uma complexidade.

Chess for super mega ultra omega nerds

el juego perfecto para tener en el celu, runs de maximo 20 minutos, mecanicas entretenidas (y familiares si jugas ajedrez) y buen feedback. encima tiene bastantes "personajes" que te cambian la manera de jugar, algunos cambian hasta las fichas, ta god.

Everything chandler said below +

Playing this since the browser demo version on kongregate. This game is fun, challenging yet easy to grasp, every move matters and you can easily ruin your run just by a miscalculated move. There's no rng factor other than randomized enemy patterns.

I don't have a fucking clue why nobody talks about this game really it's worth it even at the full price
