Super good vibes like an old game, but better and much more beautiful than 80s or 90s games. It seems very difficult on first runs, but with perserverance and learning all the controls and special moves, and after reading some tips and videos, you quickly get better and better to the final fight. It's very challenging, but it feels rewarding. There are some bugs remaining, but not too much (lots of them with Deathbringer...), it's forgivable for a home-made game full of love. A great tribute to old games, and really fun.
I played through the game and enjoyed it, but you have to be ready for the game to crash at any point. My playtime would have been a fraction of what it is had it not been for all the crashes. This game is sorely needing an update, but honestly, I cannot recommend it to anyone but the most patient gamer.
This game was totally worth the 20 dollars onsale" I mean there are a lot of games out there but they got it right. Nice graphics, Even amount of girls and guys and They ALLL represent some sorta amazing hero "mainly from the conan series" They were not stingy with the Frontal nudity or the blood. I would have spend 20 dollars easily at an arcade before those got out moded. So if you need a great side scroller and you like cursing at your screen. Then this is the game for you. I love all the character but most esepcially She-Red aka red sonya. And of course Xula, will ALWAYS be a close second as shes Xula. Warrior princess.
It's a good game and is great for both Sword and Sorcery fans as well as Arcade Fighter fans. My only criticism is that the game ends up shutting off at times. I am hoping Crian Soft fixes this problem
Khan is a broken piece of trash that is almost impossible to kill without abusing game mechanics, almost 0 story and game can be finished in around 30 minutes. Also game sometimes crashes so have fun replaying all from the beginning because this piece of shit crashed at last boss. Acid vomit from zombies kill you in two hits. In a game where you have ONLY melee weapons. During sex scenes at the end, game puts censorship even though I disabled it. Did anyone even play this trash before releasing it?
interesting concept and homage to 80's old school sword and sorcery iconography but way too trashy and clunky..controls are terrible and unresponsive..
I still love the crap use of English and the bad taste, plus the usual violence, etc but every time I play with the Deathbringer guy the game crashes at some point. Like 15 times now. Finished it with two other characters I keep giving it another chance but it has become annoying.+++++After 8 more hours it keeps crashing randomly, it is awful, Crian soft don't reply, what the fuck is wrong with you people?
Good concept, atmosphere and art.
Torturous gameplay.
Some of the mistakes you HAVE to commit in order to figure out how the challenge works. You pretty quickly run out of lives (or time) and end up playing the game over and over again, just so you can try the challenge again.
Please get rid of the stupid traps or unreasonable challenges (such as time limit?!) that add no value to the game.
Or at least implement an easier mode for those who just want to enjoy the game. Hell, you can name it "The Pathetic Whiner Mode" and I would still play it.
Please don't attempt to increase the game time by forcing the player to try over and over again.
What is best in life Mr D One? To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women. Mmmmmm yes, oh and a copy of Arena : an Age of Barbarians story.
This game is great, it's frustratingly fun to play. All the challenges in the game require learned timing. Once you get your timing down. You will feel satisfied beyond the secret of steel.
In an age of PC over correctness, this is the game that goes back to a less civilized time, and celebrates it.
Yes there is breasts, sex and gore, but you can self censor all that with an option in the game itself.
Do not be influenced by white knights, purchase and enjoy this game. It's cheaper then Cyberpunk, has less bugs, and is simply more fun.
Well, as much as I'm digging Age of Barbarian - wich is pretty solid, I must say - this one just doesn't seem to shine in any capacity. Controls feel way too laggy and unresponsive, the difficulty level is completely borked and the whole game is a technical mess. It reminds me of the later, 2D Mortal Kombat iterations, almost impossible to enjoy, when played like normal fighting games, yet turning stupidly easy the moment all the tricks to outcheap the CPU became clear.
Sure, I do appreciate the setting, the homages (the nod to Army of Darkness is epic) and the movelist itself, but giving Arena a pass solely because of that seems too generous to me... And it's a shame, as I believe the game could have been at least fun to play around, with a few changes in some critical areas.
i really liked the first one and this game had so much potential.
this game has boobs and violence but its let down but a stupid timer, bugs, frame rate issues and annoying traps and bs bosses.
just play the first one and get this on sale ( i did )
i hope if they revist the universe they fix the issues.
The game is good for what it is, the main problems come from the jump action only being usable on gamepad by moving the right analog stick up which makes it frustrating for dealing with booby trapped holes if you use a controller. I hope we can eventually have the jump action have it's own dedicated button like in the first game, and the other main issue is the rooms between fights can't skipped with an option at the least which would really help with game pacing and flow better. With that said the game is a good time and is worth getting especially if you like this kind of content or you like the first Age of Barbarians game and you want to support the series so we can get better Age of Barbarian games
This game could possibly be good, but because of some issue it really annoying.
So, when you play story mode you get 2 "tokens" and a timer for 60 minutes(on easy mode)
Each time you die, you loose 1 token or 10 minutes of the timer. That's it, no more continues, no save points. And it would be ok if not some issues.
- sometimes, when new arena starts - screen is black and you need to minimise game window and then maximize it back to see anything.
- one of the hardest enemies - two giant apes, don't take damage half of the time. You sword either swings through them, or you hit them but their helth bar does not chage.
- when you loose to kahn - you can't get good ending, so you want to restat game, BUT YOU CAN'T. Loosing to him is not dying, you can't use toke, you are getting to dungeon where you have to play some minigame before you get control over menu. You have to wait like 30 seonds each time you want another try for good ending.
All this was reported to devs multiple times, but they don't seem to care any more
This game is the Ultimate homage to the old Amiga game Barbarian as well as a great expansion to the fantastic B-movie (not an insult) Sword and Sorcery world lore of Age of Barbarian. Seriously, fantastic world building that will leave you wanting a more expanded universe. This is not a game for those easily offended though... which those should just leave sword and sorcery all together. It's just not for you if you fit in the sad "progressive" mentality, and that is ok. Just go play something more "you." If you enjoy the Robert E. Howard novels of Conan and you would love to see a world inspired by Frank Frazetta paintings realized into a video game, this is the game for you!
This game lacks of the story, the map, and the context and the adventure sense of its predecessor. Some of the mini-games (like the Triceratops one) are so hard and ruins a good campaign with any character. I likes the idea to brings adult conent and sex scenes as a reward of a good running, but , the endings of almost all characters are censorerd or changed: we asks for adult content.
I'm on the fence with this Arena game. The controls, compared to the first Barbarian game seem wonky and not in sync. I've used XboX and PS3 controllers and I'm just not feeling it. Will keep on trying to get used to the wonky control and update, if needed. I really enjoy the style of animation that are both horrifyingly gross as you cleave someone in two and yet, pleasantly enjoyable in it's depiction of the *ahem* "soft curves" of say the, umm **cough** uh, "female (or, male if you prefer) form." Sound effects, like "Barbarian," range from realistic taunts aimed at your character, screams of agony, along with the maniacal laughter of an evil opponent all serve their purpose to motivate you to try your best and ultimately silence these fools. Very satisfying when you defeat them. The problem lies in the wonky controls that get in your way...and I can say, without precise control of your character, you will lose interest in this game fast...like I did. Will update, but cannot give this game my recommendation at this time.
This is a bad game. Though I kind of like it, it needs a lot of polish. The art direction is great, the heavy metal soundtrack fits perfectly and the not Red Sonja DLC made my day. Arena could have been a neat Barbarian - The Ultimate Warrior throwback but the unresponsive, clunky controls and lack of quality control just ruin it.
Arena's format is that of an arcade fighter and is broken up into gladiatorial fights, trap rooms, larger monster battles and a short dungeon section followed by a final boss. You have six base characters to choose from, including not Conan Rahan and not Deja Thoris Sheyna from the first game, four more variously inspired by popular sword & sorcery characters like Slaine and Zula as well as DLC characters inspired by the aforementioned Red Sonja and Frazetta's Death Dealer. The game is timed from 60 minutes and you have a set number of credits, once these run out you can contine with extra credits that remove 10 minutes from your clock.
The gladiatorial fights are the best part, though player moveset/combos feel very limited even when compared to the first Age of Barbarian, it feels as though half of the movements you should be able to make here are missing; attack chaining is practically nonexistant and the player stance resets after a short combo or rolling. You can't duck or jump in combat, half the combos don't seem to work, and some attacks just don't reach some enemies (an issue from AoB, sometimes your weapon will sail right through an opponent and do no damage, even if it clearly connected). There are also massive problems and oversights regarding recovery, rolling and counterattacks not even working against some foes.
During these arena fights, items are dropped in at intervals and usually comprise of a healing potion, a bomb or an power up rune. What I assume are extra credit coins drop, but are rare. As easy as it is to avoid the bombs and lure your opponent onto them, the healing potions and buffs landing right on enemies constantly can get very annoying, especially if the AI has decided it's going to do nothing but block and roll either side of you ad-nauseum. It's also possible to be instakilled by said bombs when the match has ended and you are in an unmoveable victory pose.
The instadeath 'trap rooms' serve as little else but a waste of credits. A control change made in Arena means that the jump button is now assigned to up on either the stick or d-pad as opposed to a face button in AoB and can't be remapped, making timed jumps unnecessarily awkward - why change it? Skill requirement goes out of the window when the control implementation is so bad. Some of the rooms are just hilariously broken, a rope jump section makes no sense - you will fall and die when you clearly touched the rope, and a falling rock room turns your character into a puddle of red paste if you even touch an already fallen, inert rock.
Larger monsters are pathetic and so wonky I wonder if they've been playtested, and if so, by who. Most are reskins of bosses from the first AoB, only worse. They include a T Rex - similar to the dragon in AoB with a habit of doing nothing but it's knock-down tail swipe, a pair of large gorillas who desync with eachother, perform the same knock-down charge and can hit you when you're behind them and a giant serpent similar to the snake demon in AoB that likes to spam knock-down attacks and a shitty OHKO move.
In the dungeon section, a sabre toothed cat literally performed the same leap attack and pushed me out of the screen - from one side to the other, in fact it appears that they only have one attack and use it - like the other monsters - at a frequency the player is not equipped to deal with. This is not a problem in the short arena fight the cats are used in, as they put you into a button mash escape animation making them an easy instakill. You do have attacks that are able to hit creatures at the cat's height - but as mentioned are either awkwardly implemented or have such a slow windup that it's easy to get pushed into a ridiculous situation.
AoB Arena is just a touch away from being great schlock, it can be fun and you're not likely to find a game like this anywhere else but the experience is unfortunately frustrating and often ruined by sloppy design, jank and clunky controls.
The absolutely stupid "trap rooms" are just god awful. They totally wreck an otherwise fun game. Doesn't matter how well you do anything else, you miss time one jump or dodge and you lose. Just terrible
Note: the game has been updated a few times, but the traps are still ASS
I'm not gonna lie; this game is flawed.
But damn is it fun.
If you're a fan of any 80s action movie or trashy fantasy flick, you should definately check this out.
There's plenty of references to movies, comics, etc. And a unique sense of humor.
I really loved AoB. The theme was spot on for the B-movie fantasy epic, and there is more of that to love here. Sadly Arena is too linear of an experience for me, and while AoB was no storytelling masterpiece each level had its own mini-story and unique environment. Don't get me wrong I enjoy the over-the-top bloodletting, but I do like my barbarians with a little bit more purpose.
For now, I will just replay AoB and beat that damn dragon...
Like the previous installment this game pays homage and tribute to the classic genre of sword and sorcery style movies and games of the late 70's/80's. Criantsoft is what seems to be a small but dedicated outlet for this venue who regarldless of realease mishaps, botches and patches. Aims to deliver exactly waht is described above!
If you are a fan of Frazetta and Boris Vallejo art as well as movies such Barbarella. Conan and Hurcules of the 80s and especially a fan of the orgininal Barbarian Series. Then this game is up your alley is and a worthwhile play. In this installment Crian Soft devilvers a delightfully tacky and appealing sword and sorcery game for those who enjoy the concepts of primitive fantasy, scantily clad heroines, beef cake barbaric hunks, and evil sorcerers who aim to stifle the player every step of the way.
The game is challenging, the developer is responsive, and the game is a fun challenge for those who enjoy a classic side scrolling beat em up with heros and enemies who wish to stain the floors and walls with the crimson red blood within our bodies!
The game could be great. It does seem to have launched with a few problems.
First off, the uncensor option doesn't work, so prepare to see strange ovals with pixels all over the place no matter your settings.
Second, there are several glitches and crashes. I was disembowled by a panther and the whole game stopped working and I kept getting run.exe errors.
Still, I think it COULD be awesome. Let's see what the patches bring.
If you've played AoB you know what you're getting into! Lot's of gory head chopping action! The stage exploration seems to be gone, and the game takes a more linear arcade style path. Fun mini stages between arena battles help keep things interesting. Also 3 new characters to play as!
AoB always reminded me of the "Barbarian" games of the classic 8 bit computer era, and this installation even moreso!
