Feels like Conan the barbarian was teleported into the NES area.Reminds me of the old castlevania titles before they went "metroidvania" ;-)Not as unforgiving as Super Meat Boy, AVGN Adventures or similiar plattforming games but still demanding on the skills.At this time only the first episode is playable. But with the game being available at Desura for quite some time now,I believe more chapters are just around the corner.. Play this game. It is Conan incarnate! Bring doom upon the sons of Set, as you were meant!. It's really hard for me to recommend this game to anyone, but I will say a few things about it. Replay value isnt really big here, unless you absolutely love the game. One thing is that this game has 3 additional episodes planned. The first episode obviously, and the 2nd was just added to the game. So I really like that, but some people might be unhappy to learn they aren't all already available. The first episode, is rather short actually, took me about 1.5 hours to actually finish it from the start. Granted, it took me a handfull of angry tries before I actually finished it. Plus I havent even touched Ep.2 yet, i'll save that rage-fest for another date.This game is really hard. What makes it hard? Its all about timing, patience and knowledge. Taking damage not only hurts, but it gives you that classic knockback we all know and hate. I told my friend, only play this game if youre ok with pulling out your hair.The music is AWESOME. Seriously, this is my favorite part (besides flexing).. This game looks and sounds great and the gameplay is fun and exciting. But only get it if you are ok with a high price and the insane, barbaric difficulty spikes that are by no means Tiny. LIke super frustraiting difficult. I mean it, if you aren't ready for a challange then keep on walking.Look at the DX tilting your head to right, and thats the feeling you will have over and over.. A very short, but VERY solid action platformer with a killer soundtrack. It controls smoothly and is very quick to understand. The only reason I would say to maybe not get it is because of the length; my first playthrough took only an hour. The game promises more episodes are coming, but right now it's a very quick experience. Still really good, though.. This game has very responsive and well designed controls, and really if you are a fan of the fantasy barbarian genre it is a must buy decision.. Somewhere in a desert wasteland, a tiny barbarian hangs crudely nailed to a tree. He contemplates the shifting of the sands, the hungry gleam in vultures' eyes, and the sweet brutal revenge he must take. Break free in as dramatic a way as possible! Your adventure begins!Within 15 seconds of playing, you'll have savaged the local wildlife, defiled ancient ruins, and most likely\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665off about a dozen evil warlocks just by being alive. A few steps later you'll already be discovering secrets as you bash through cracking rocks to uncover coins, gems, and... meat! Collect treasure for score, and replenish health by eating strange meats you find hidden in crevices, or even just laying on the ground! Fearsome barbarians eat whatever they want!Battle wizards and their beastly minions! Punch rocks until they turn into diamonds! Hack away at vicious armored soldiers intent on slaying you and taking away your totally sweet loincloth! Discover wondrous and deadly ancient mechanisms! Tame ferocious beasts! Flex your guns and pecs indiscriminately! Dangle from chains 1-handed like a true badass! Handle explosives with little to no care whatsoever! Dodge snake-based traps, the most fiendish kind of traps known to man! Experience love, lust, and loss! Followed by triumph! Possibly followed by even more lust, the most important emotion!All this excitement (And more! So much more!...eventually!) is packed into an experience just under 2 hours long, with 3 more adventures (episodes) to follow once they're finished and released by the developer. All future episodes will be available to you for free by buying this game (Episode 1), with the second coming very soon as of the time of this review (and I use the term "review" loosely!).If you can't wait that long because you're an impatient prick or have Restless Gamer-Finger Syndrome, this game includes an endless Horde Mode that strands you atop of a pyramid and pits you against an endless army of goblins, skeleton archers, and trolls! (Or possibly very large hairy barbarians, I can't tell, but they bleed all the same!) You might rage at the constant potshots the archers take, I find myself losing most of my health to them, but YMMV.Enemy variety is alright, we'll probably see different enemies in the upcoming episodes. I'm more annoyed that there aren't that many enemies hanging out in the main game's levels. However, the ones that are there are strategically placed for a challenge, and Horde Mode has all the mobbing you could want.Enough combat moves are available to keep you alive, but face it, all you really need is that badass Elbow Drop! Snake getting grabby? Elbow Drop! Need to deflect a barrage of arrows? Elbow Drop! Vulture trying to eat you? ELBOW DROP IT OUT OF THE SKYYYY!!!The other moves are your basic slash attack, a useful 3-hit combo that sends enemies flying, an overhead swing useful for crowd control and deflecting arrows, and a midair spinning attack that multihits (I find it hard to pull off, the timing is weird). Check the Steam Community Discussion page for more info on the attacks. The main game is easy enough to play through with just the basic attack and occasional 3-hit combo, the extra moves are more for Horde Mode survival.What else, what else... oh right, buy this game! The music fits the bill, the levels are well designed so they aren't monotonous, secrets aren't terribly hard to find thanks to the level design "hinting" at them, boss fights are entertaining, there are nekkid ladies, and that's about it. It's a simple and fun game that I'm sure is far from simple and fun to make, so throw your money at the developer so he can crank out those other Episodes.. PUMPING SOUNDTRACK!!!!!! PIXELS!!!!!! PUNCHING GNOMES IN THE FACE!!!!! BABES!!!!!!! MORE PIXELS!!!!!!what else is there to say? it is an instant hit with me and i would reccomend it to anyone who wants to sit back for a few hours and listen to some amazing music whilst playing a challenging (but not rage inducing) game. I wouldn't have guessed, if I didn't see the elbow drop, this is clearly Randy Savage simulator! Damn good and epic oldschool platformer designed with heart and care. Game starts when our protagonist, the barbarian (Randy?) is left to die in desert. There is only couple things in our hero's mind and they are treasures, revenge and babes! At the beginning, the game seems pretty simplistic, which it is, but the further you get, the harder it gets, so your thumbs better have good muscle memory! I beated the first chapter, but there seems to be four of them, the first one only available right now. First chapter felt like it was already the full story, it was so well done and it excites me to see what the other chapters will bring. Highly recommend for all oldschool platformer fans!
