Pixel Pawns: Chess Duels

Your next move starts a fight.

Pixel Pawns is a full chess game where every capture becomes an animated pixel-art duel. Pawns strike with sword and shield. Knights charge. Rooks crush their foes. Magic lights up the board. Plan the capture, then watch your pieces fight it out.

CHESS, WITH CONSEQUENCES • Real chess rules: castling, en passant, promotion, check, checkmate and draws • The duel never changes the result. Your move decides it, the fight shows it • Every piece type fights its own way, with varied finishing moves

PLAY YOUR WAY • Chess vs computer: four AI difficulty levels, play as white or black • 2 player chess on one phone: pass and play with a friend • Undo a move, flip the board, follow the move list and the evaluation bar • HALL OF DEEDS: 19 deeds to earn and a duel codex that replays every duel you have seen

BUILT FOR TOUCH • Tap a piece and then its square, or drag it where it should go • The board fills your screen in landscape, with the controls right beside it • Tap during a duel to fast-forward it, or change the animation speed

OFFLINE AND COMPLETE • Plays offline: no internet connection and no account needed • No ads and no in-app purchases. Buy it once and the whole game is yours • No permissions requested

A torch-lit board, armoured soldiers, mounted knights and spellcasters, all in animated pixel art with retro sound.
