There are relatively few backdrops, and the gameplay doesn't alter significantly from screen to screen. Someone is bound to moan about the game's violent aspects, but until then, go get your copy and do some serious slaying.

Although it is a bit sick, it has to be said Barbarian is a real winner. Beat 'em ups just refuse to lie down and die and, when they are as good as this gamers should be mightily grateful.

Nothing really special, Barbarian got famous and popular for other reasons than originality or sizzling playability. Its main attraction with kids back then was the brutality it shows.
