About

Pawn of the Dead introduces a twist to classic chess: White pieces captured by the Black undead army rises again to fight for them! Protect your ranks, adapt to asymmetrical battlefields, and witness the story of the White King facing his worst enemy: His reflection.

Pawn of the Dead is a chess variant which differs from the classical chess with its unique mechanic: White pieces get infected into Black (undead) pieces when captured! But do not worry, there's always a solution to win in these asymmetrical levels.

Random Level Generation Mode with hundreds of procedurally pre-generated levels. You can also play as Black (the infecting side) against AI, or against a friend on the same computer (local multiplayer)

Queen vs Zombies: Fight against an endless army of zombie pawns as White Queen. Every 7 zombies you slay grants you a destructive power of magic.

Also, easy transition between 3D and 2D.
