About

Unchained is a pixel dungeon crawler battle royale on Abstract, developed by Bizarre Games, Inc. Players compete in lobbies of up to 50, searching for equipment, engaging in PvP combat, and stealing loot from rivals in matches that last 8 to 15 minutes.

What is Unchained

Set in a dungeon where captured thieves are periodically unchained to fight for a dragon's entertainment, Unchained blends roguelike dungeon crawling with battle-royale stakes. The game is designed to reward strategy over reflexes, making it accessible on both PC and mobile.

Gameplay

Each session drops players into a shared dungeon to find gear, hunt opponents, and survive. Combat is turn-based or low-action, so quick reflexes are not required. Winners receive instant payouts with potential returns up to 25x. The game supports crossover avatars from other Abstract ecosystem projects including Tollan, Gigaverse, OnChain Heroes, and Cambria.

Team & Backing

Unchained is built by Bizarre Games, Inc. and backed by Press Start Capital and Sanctor Capital. The team also received support from the Forgotten Runes Wizard's Cult DAO community. Follow unchained_game on X for updates.

  • 2026-09-23 — Unchained Confirms Single-Player Mode Launching in October on Abstract — Pixel dungeon crawler Unchained will add a single-player mode in October on Abstract, expanding beyond its multiplayer battle royale format after community testing. (@unchained_game)

Move to Robinhood

On October 6, 2026, Unchained said it had been "1 week from launch on @AbstractChain," with its audit finished and tutorial videos done in four languages, and that "Regardless, we're looking for a new home." On October 11 it said its jackpot "will migrate to a new chain."

On October 19, 2026, Unchained announced the move in a post titled "To Robinhood, adventurers!": "As of right now, we have migrated to Robinhood. Your nfts and funds are safu." It said the jackpot starts at 500 and that existing players first press "Login with Abstract" and then connect their regular wallet. Its post that day summed up the plan as "Robinhood now, Ronin soon after." Unchained has not given a date for Ronin.

The opening paragraph of this page, which describes Unchained as a game on Abstract, predates the move.

The team is now migrating to a new chain with interest from multiple chains. Most recent activity (6d ago) shows they've removed NFT requirement to play, suggesting a pivot toward broader accessibility post-Abstract.

Unchained (@unchained_game) is in crisis mode after being dropped by @AbstractChain one week before launch, despite a finished audit and multilingual tutorials. They're seeking a new home, with multiple chains reaching out, and are offering free NFT mints to Diamond+ players and web2 cosmetics to lower tiers. Recent contests for @YieldFields_RH WL spots were marred by exploits and resets, but the game remains playable and popular.
