Fast-paced WWII turn-based tactics with team-based multiplayer, objective-driven battles, and a built-in map editor to create and share custom battlefields.
The developer filed this on the Steam store page. It is not a guess by active.games.
Some UI assets in War Pawns were created with the assistance of generative AI tools during development. These assets were reviewed, selected, and integrated by the developer as part of the game’s user interface. Generative AI was used only for pre-generated interface visuals, and the game does not use AI-generated content during gameplay. All gameplay systems, design, and programming were created manually.
