Description
Barbarian is an action game of fighting and conquest in combat arenas across the land of Barbaria. Play in different battle modes against one or more opponents or experience the rich history of each Barbarian by playing their own Quest. Every successful quest brings the choice of where to go next. Where you go changes the future as much as your victory! As you advance in the story, you will earn upgrades for your character. Not only can this character be used in the ongoing Quests, but you can play against your friends or the game in versus mode with him. The rules of engagement can be different in Quest battles, explained at the start of each new Quest. Your ultimate goal is to encounter and defeat Zaugg himself. Prepare yourself! The battle begins.

Barbarian is not a solid fighting game but its attempt to blend elements of RPG keeps this game from being a fighter with not much to offer fight fans.

A great example of the new breed of fighting games.
