Barbarian - The Ultimate Warrior
June 18, 2001 by ST Graveyard
This is a really good game. You either have the option to take on the challenge against the computer, or another person can join in the 2 player modus. The latter one is especially fun. The game offers a wide variety of moves, which are easy to learn. Especially the "Death Sword" move, when properly executed, is very cool. Before going into battle, you can also enter a practice mode to get the hang of it. Read the review of Barbarian - The Ultimate Warrior

Compared to what I've written in the review 4 years ago, this game does have music. Just press F9 during gameplay!
I've been playing this game for the past 20 years, and I never knew it had music

This game might just get the prize for being the goriest ever released for the ST. The now legendary 'flying neck chop' (aka the decapitation move) is truely brutal
.
The gfx might only be average, but the use of sfx are exceptional. Whether its sword wielding metal to metal action or a sickening kick to the gut the choice of sound effect is always spot on.
The only minor quibble I have is that the game is too easy to complete. Every opponent can easily be beaten with the crouch hit move and after about level 7 opponents seem particularly susceptible to the 'flying neck chop'. Still, if you want a challenge see if you can complete the game by decapitating all your opponents!
verdict: A classic (if bloody) game.

One of the best beat'em ups for the ST. This was a very controversial game! The decapatation move is a classic. Who can forget about this. The gameplay is super addictive and the 2 player mode is bliss!
This game was so funny. The headkickin' little ork is hilarious!
The sound samples you hear are from the movie "Red Sonya"!
