About Petrified Pawns
Unusual chess rules - No prior knowledge needed!
In this version of chess the units don't instantly take each other out which makes small mistakes less punishing. The chess pieces have health-bars that must be depleted by attacks before they're eliminated. You can heal your troops to keep them alive.You move the chess pieces - The rest is automated!
You control where your units go and they will automatically attack opponents when they can. The units also try to automatically heal themselves if the right conditions are met. For example the Bishop can heal pieces that stand diagonal to him and the Pawns heals itself when moved.Give your unit weapons and armor and level up!
Find treasures and loot powerful weapons to distribute amongst your characters to increase their health and strength. Along the way you can add more chess pieces to your group. Select units that synergies well together to maximize the groups power. Upgrade your units and your spells as you level up.Choose your path to the throne!
After a chessboard has been cleared you can choose which path to go next. You can choose to avoid a difficult chessboard or maybe the rewards are worth the tougher fight? Deep into the castle you'll encounter monsters, giants and bosses. Will you make it all the way and become the new ruler?What Steam players say

Unique idea and I like,thogh I'm not realy sure how and, if it's even possible to get the Arach Bishop achevement and the no deaths achevemnt,since I played 2 games for each color chess pieces, and couldn't find it(the Arch Bishop),meanwhile I don't think it's possible to get no death award simply because in the arena, whre you fight the Giant Knight you start of with like 15 pawns extra,.and they count twards the deaths. I like the Giant Eye boss, because you'll most likely fail once ot twice before you understand that you'll probably need to use a Knight while healing you king and other pieces,because enemies also come from the two doors. Another boss I like is the Giant Rook,who although not needing a unique strategy like the Giant Eye is a difficulty spike compared to the other levels before, making you need to coordinate your pieces to avoid the orbs of wraith OR to catch them granting a small boost for the piece bur also grants the risk of said piece to die or get severly hurt if the orb crashes in to the enemy first. I think the game feels a bit bare bones when you beat the main part (wich takes about 5 hours when you're learning te game),but I hope it doesn't stay like …2 found this helpful
Been playing since beta now and then. If you like chess with a twist then this is a great game. The developer is making lots of nice updates, the game is just getting better and better.1 found this helpful
Game is truly unique. In a way I feel like if D&D stopped using dice and started using pawns this is what'd it turn into. Its got a ton of randomization that keeps it fresh for multiple simultaneous runs. There is quite a lot of strategy that goes into it despite it not being normal chess. Not to mention how beautiful the game itself looks. the only thing I'd say is it doesn't feel like its quite turned based because everything move so quickly and simultaneously with one another but it is a fun game to try out!1 found this helpful
