About This Game

Pawn Survival is a single-player turn-based strategy and survival game where you lead a small community of pawns through a harsh, procedurally generated world. Every turn is a choice — and every choice can mean life or death.

Command individual pawns, manage hunger and illness, explore dangerous biomes, and build a village capable of withstanding relentless enemies, unpredictable events, and brutal environments.

Lead your Pawns

Each pawn is an individual with their own stats and perks and each one matters.

Pawns can:

  • Gather resources

  • Craft equipment

  • Explore the world

  • Fight with many aggressive creatures

Explore the world

The world is procedurally generated and divided into hexes, hidden beneath a fog of war.
As you explore, you can uncover nine( and more to come) different biomes, each with unique mechanics, events, enemies, resources and craftable items.

Crafting & Equipment Progression

Survival depends on preparation.

Gather a wide range of resources, from basic wood and stone to magical essences and rare metals and use them to craft:

  • Weapons

  • Tools

  • Armor

  • Utility items

There are currently 9 tiers of equipment items. Each item offering unique bonuses working better in some scenerios and worse in others, making loadout decisions critical.

Build and Expand Your Village

Your village is more than a base it’s a strategic tool.

Build and upgrade structures such as:

  • Crafting stations to unlock new items to craft

  • Houses to increase population capacity

  • Buff-providing buildings that affect nearby pawns

  • Defensive structures like walls and traps

As more buildings are constructed, your village physically expands, showing progress of your community.
