Why Barren?
Barren is an online game made by gamers for gamers. We were dissatisfied with the current state of the game industry, while still amazed by the classics we've played our whole lives. This, combined with our strong desire to build a player-driven universe where your choices truly impact how the game evolves, led us to create Barren.
Game Structure
Barren consists of 2 complementary parts:
- A board strategy game (available now)
- A city builder (in development)
You'll use your city to train units and then deploy these units to conquer the barren lands, find resources, and discover even stronger units.
Gameplay: Chess with a Twist
The first part of Barren is a chess-like strategy game with a key difference: instead of manually moving pieces around the board, your units move forward automatically. Your strategic decisions determine where each piece will go.
Like chess, each unit has a unique attack pattern. Unlike chess, each unit also has attack stats, HP, and unique skills, allowing us to create diverse and creative units.
The Block Mechanic
A unique feature is the Block action. When you block a unit, it gains:
- 1 shield
- Attack preference (blocked units attack first)
- If a blocked unit kills its opponent, it takes no damage from the defeated unit
In all other cases, attacks occur simultaneously. This mechanic adds significant strategic depth to gameplay.
Current Units
Currently, we have 4 units:
- Swordsman
- Grenadier
- Scorpion Tank
- Guardian
