It’s time to attack! The barbarians are invading different parts of the world, and it’s up to you to stop them. Leave no one alive.
Barbarian Souls drew inspiration from the combat system of Dark Souls. To survive, you must fight, defend yourself, or avoid enemy blows. You are armed only with your sword (to beat your enemies) and your shield (to block attacks). Be careful not to get injured too badly—you don't have time or potions to heal your wounds. Approach enemies with caution or they will kill you easily.
This is an action game that you must fight to survive, defend or avoid enemy blows and attack at the right time.
In this game, you must defend and evade to be able to successfully complete your missions. If you don't use your shield to defend OR your legs to avoid enemy attacks, you will be no match for your enemies.
Travel through the land to face and defeat the barbarians, encountering different environments, forests, deserts, mountains, castles, villages, and much more.
Begin your journey to conquer the world.
Key Features
- Easy to play (attack, defend or evade)
Game commands are very simple (Left Mouse Button to attack, Right Mouse Button to defend, more instructions provided in the game)
- Moderate difficulty
It's not the type of game that you finish quickly.
- Simple missions
Find and kill all enemies to proceed. If you have difficulty finding all enemies, press 'V' to use the tracker option, which will allow you to find enemies easily.
- One-on-one combat
Press 'TAB' when you find an enemy to make the game combat more dynamic. Fight with a focus on your enemy to make it easier to attack or defend.
- Strategic combat
Don't just attack without thought. Some enemies will inflict heavy damage on you if you attack without a strategy, some enemies will open their guard for
several seconds, while others need to be attacked after they miss an attack on you.
- Beautiful scenarios with great graphics
Travel through the diverse scenery during different times of day and weather, like a rainstorm near a great castle.
