Pawnage

A chess-fighting game where nothing is captured for free. Old school 1v1 arcade action crashed into the world's most famous board game: every capture drops both pieces into a 3D arena for a real-time duel. No turns, no dice, no waiting. Easy to pick up. Brutal to master.

Pawnage

How it plays

Every capture is a duel

Slide a piece onto an enemy and both fighters drop into the arena. The winner takes the square; the loser is gone for good.

Real-time 3D arenas

Each duel is fought live in a 3D arena with its own hazards: spike traps, pressure plates, doors and breakable walls.

Every piece fights differently

Pawns, knights, bishops, rooks, queens and kings each bring their own stats and moveset: melee, spells and stamina to manage.

Powerups

Health, mana and stat boosts drop mid-duel. Grab them first and turn a losing fight around.

Lose the king, lose the match

No checkmate needed. The moment a king falls in the arena, the game is over. A pawn can take a queen, if the player behind it is good enough.

Play your way

Online 1v1 over Steam, local couch multiplayer on a shared screen, or single-player against the CPU.
