서양 고전 스타일 젖보똥과 하드고어. 그리고 쓰레기같은 조작감을 버무린 벨트스크롤 2D 다크소울 처음 맛볼땐 구린내에 정신 못차리는데 먹다보면 오기생겨서 엔딩까지 맛보게되는 청국장같은 게임입니다 첫 엔딩은 2~3시간이면 충분하구요 정 못하겠다 싶으면 구르기랑 대쉬 강공격만 써도 엔딩까진 무리없습니다 게임 자체는 비추천과 추천 사이의 무언가이지만 요즘의 서양에선 멸종해버린 헐벗은 아마조네스들이 등장하는 부분에서 따봉 드리겠습니다
The vibe of 1987 with mature content and improved visuals. It is actually good. Some mini-games in between are a bit boring, not much interesting but can be easily passed once understood how. Also, a couple of credits but no save. So, expect having time ahead to play. The immediate thing you should do before playing is, go to options and remove the censorship. A good tribute to the first Barbarian. Works on Linux. Does not attempt to connect to the internet. Thanks! Good game.

Cool concept but poor gameplay, many bugs. Dont waste your time on it.
ARENA is a fun and fast-paced arcade combat game set in a classic sword & sorcery world. The fights are brutal, skill-based, and very entertaining if you enjoy action games. I recently also played Age of Barbarians Chronicles on Epic Games Store, which in my opinion goes further in terms of depth, but ARENA definitely has its own charm and strengths. It’s a great introduction to the Age of Barbarians universe and still a very enjoyable game if you like pure action and old-school fantasy vibes.
Personally, the game IS fun despite it's flaws and very short length per run, but it takes a good bit of getting used to the system. I first brought it years ago after playing the original Age of Barbarians but mostly put it down because I couldn't get used to it at the time, but with Chronicles just releasing, I decided to play a bit more of it and have gotten decently good at it, completing it several times over with different characters. It plays A LOT like a classic arcade cabinet fighting game, you get a series of fights with either corridors of traps or other short minigame segments between them. You have two lives and each death afterwards deducts 10 minutes form the total 60 minutes timer. There's no saving between fights so if you lose a run, you need to start again from the begining. A run overall though shouldn't take you any longer than maybe 20 or so minutes so your timer does give you a fair few extra lives if you need them. The fights against human enemies are, for the most part all pretty good, the lower points of the game tend to the segments where you fight beasts are a bit more janky and one boss in particular beast that you MUST face in order to get the desired 'good' ending is just straight up terrible and needs a bit of exploiting of the running-jump attack to beat, while the final boss is fairly trivial once you figure out his routine. Everything follows a fairly linear format, 2 fights against non-playable humanoids, one against a playable humanoid, a fight against beasts, and then the endgame with a very short dungeon similar to the first game and the final boss himself. Each character has a different ending, some a bit more raunchier than others. While I do enjoy it myself, my negative recommendation is PURELY due to the fact the game crashes incessantly, especially with certain characters. I don't remember having a single crash with the DLC characters, She-Red or Deathbringer, but with a few specific characters, in my experience particularly Xula and Radhaan it's near constant. Completing a run with those is almost impossible without experiencing a random crash nearly every attempt.
Вообще не ожидал от игры столько фана, так как совсем недавно прошёл Age of Barbarian Extended Cut и мне в целом понравилась эпоха варваров, но она совершенно другая и другое приносит удовольствие. Так вот решил поиграть в это ответвление, подумав, что сделают простенькую арену на механике сражений из эпохи. Но как оказалось - боёвку переработали, сделали классный рандом противников, добавили мини игры и добавили бесящий таймер, но спустя время - понимаешь его задумку. По итогу: Обязательно к прохождению, если понравилась эпоха варваров. Пройдено 19.05.2026
Было весело !!! КРОВЬ КИШКИ И ГОЛЫЕ СИСЬКИ !!!
Unplayable. Game crashes consistently. Completely broken mess.
I'm a fan of the series, so I start from a friendly perspective, where small details seem big to me. That said, this game feels like an extra to the original. It's more like a bit of more good s#it (for us) and a bit of a financing (for them). Metaphorically, perhaps we could talk about Conan the Destroyer in relation to Conan the Barbarian (more sorcery and more body respectively). In this one, more than a journey, the plot is reduced to the arena, with very appropriate minigames. That said, as a game 'in general,' aside from the very well-crafted setting, it's languishing, although it's better than it might initially seem, with well-designed combat, attractive graphics, and the aforementioned refreshing minigames. If you particularly like that setting, I seriously recommend giving the gameplay a try, because once you get the hang of it, the former responds and the latter grows. [i]Da#n, I'm not gonna die in your stupid and macabre game![/i] That said, I hope that for the next one (in development) they have incorporated experience and help, because I have nothing to object to regarding the graphics, the gameplay is satisfactory and surprising, but all the games in the series, and especially this one and the DLCs, suffer from technical problems that tarnish - sometimes seriously - the gaming experience. That, and don't get carried away by the comments of those who only want it 'in general'. Note: I'm jumping from thumb up to down because the game crashes too much, so it would go from playing-crash-playing to crash-playing-crash. With some characters it's been playable (thumb up), but with others it's been a struggle (thumb down). Note: I understand some complaints about the game, but on my part I hope they are things that could to be improved rather than remove them, as I really like it (traps, minigames, etc.). Note: I dislike the censorship of sexual scenes, but I don't see them as particularly relevant, so I see their criticism more as a wake-up call. Note: I ignore if Revenge is finally Chronicles.
