1.1.2 Patch Notes

A tweak to solve a long-standing issue confusing some newcomers to the game, and a more pleasant game reset flow for everyone. change: overhauled the dungeon select screen with a more intuitive layout change: exiting to menu after a loss, victory, or abandoning the run now goes to character select change: exiting to menu after the tutorial now goes to dungeon select with Goblin Caves selected change: description now makes it clear that the Knight piece "jumps" instead of "moving" fix: upgrade icons now properly restore their full scale when going down from 5 upgrades

Pawnbarian is a minimalist puzzle roguelike. It's built around the core mechanic of using chess moves to control your adventurer on a tiny dungeon board.



  • 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 tricky, 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 3 characters with unique rules to conquer 3 dungeons full of varied monsters.
  • Progress through Chains, a series of extra difficulty settings.

What Pawnbarian is not


Pawnbarian is not a full-fledged roguelike with deep and varied builds to explore. There is a bit of progression over the course of a run, but the core of the game is dealing with a variety of enemies, and figuring out what to do each turn.

Think of it as a highly replayable puzzle game with a roguelike card battler feel.
