1.2.3 - Even more languagesYo! Pawnbarian has been translated into Japanese by my wonderful girlfriend Agata Stasiak, and into Italian by a wonderful community member Robin Bernardinis. Thank you so much!
The community translation effort is ongoing. Do you want to help translate into another language, or suggest some changes? Check out this thread.
new: Japanese localization
new: Italian localization
new: social buttons in the main menu
change: Traditional Chinese localization slightly updated
change: Simplified Chinese localization slightly updated
change: globally scaled down the font used for Japanese and Chinese by a bit to fix some typographical issues
change: lots of little optimizations and tweaks that should be mostly invisible, but let me know if something breaks
Work on the mobile port is nearing completion and the Android version should be out very soon!
Cheers,

[ 2022-04-30 09:45:54 CET ] [ Original post ] 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.
