Barbaric!
Barbarians! Civilized men huddle behind tall stone walls¸ trembling at the thought. The soldiers of civilization tighten their shield walls against the oncoming onslaught. And then they come. Savage men and women¸ screaming at the top of their lungs¸ oblivious to fear¸ frothing at the mouth from rage and lust for war. Wave after wave¸ they storm shields and fortifications. Many die; the pagan gods bless their souls. But eventually¸ mail and castle fail. Then¸ the flames of barbarism will sweep the land¸ leaving no stone unturned!
Sword and sorcery tales speak of cunning thieves¸ power-hungry sorcerers¸ and¸ indeed¸ barbaric warriors. This game ‐ Barbaric! ‐ lets you play such heroes. Or¸ more often¸ anti-heroes. Pit your sword-arm and knowledge of eldritch secrets against ravaging bandits¸ scheming nobles¸ diabolic demons¸ mighty dragons ‐ and¸ ultimately¸ the rotten and ugly face of moribund civilization itself.
So¸ pour your drinks¸ devour your pizza¸ turn up the volume of your favorite heavy metal album ‐ and prepare to become... Barbaric!
