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.

Looper Tactics aims to combine turn-based strategy and roguelike mechanics, providing an interesting twist on traditional deck building. The core gameplay revolves around navigating a tile-based map, strategically moving your hero across various terrains and encountering both friend and foe. The procedurally generated world every run ensures that each playthrough feels fresh and unpredictable. Throughout the game, you will have encounters with various friendly or neutral beings, many of whom offer you a choice between different bonuses and items to purchase, such as new cards, minions, power-ups, or upgrades.
