Pawnbarian: a Puzzle Roguelike

least determined pawn: absolute gigachad gameplay

I learned to play chess thanks to the game 😭🙏

Simple fun, nothing too deep story wise just pure gameplay.

Okay, I want to talk so much about this one but it won’t be of any effect until you try it yourself. It has a demo, just go ahead and try it. This is probably one of the best puzzle games I have ever played.

Do it's a fantastic idea, bit chess just needs to not be boring, but the enemies have too many rules or "buffs" that they are simply allowed to use or abuse when the players tries to get lucky enough to get the right pieces they need & since there's health elements in it, it needs to be given either more gear like items to collect cause the way the enemies work breaks more rules than the barbarian can have limiting the players options.

If you’ve read my reviews on TapTap, you’ll know that I love strategy games but sorely dislike chess. In my review for Undergrave, I dug into why I detest long, drawn-out games like the classic board game. I’m always willing to take a second look even at things I was pretty certain I hated, though, and here’s an example of why I’m glad to have an open mind. Pawnbarian combines the strategic depth of chess with the fantasy of a great dungeon crawler.
