Senior Game Developer (Unity/Full Stack)

About Brutal Knights

Brutal Knights is an upcoming turn-based fantasy strategy game that combines deep tactical gameplay with high-stakes competitive elements. Players engage in both single-player dungeon crawls and multiplayer PvP, where their decisions and achievements have lasting impact. Built in Unity for Steam/WebGL & mobile platforms, we’re creating a game that appeals to strategy enthusiasts across the spectrum—from casual explorers to competitive players.

Our philosophy is that great games should be accessible to all players, regardless of their technical background. Brutal Knights uses blockchain technology to enable true ownership of in-game assets and achievements, but these systems are abstracted from the player experience. Players can enjoy the full game without ever interacting with or understanding the underlying blockchain technology, choosing to engage with these elements only if they wish to participate in the broader game economy.
