    It's unadorned, then, but the game's so wonderfully unselfconscious in its aims that it creates the perfect atmosphere in which to enjoy its simple charms.

    Tiny Barbarian DX is outrageously “old style”, not just in its graphics but in its design and gameplay too. Extremely simple yet fairly challenging, it brings back fond memories of playing games like Rygar and Rastan – but if you haven't played those old classics back in the day (or are immune to the nostalgia effect), then there isn't much on offer for you here.

It is a straightforward action platformer with very tight controls. The game opens with you fighting off a horde of monsters on top of a mountain until you are overwhelmed, and then introduces you to the main menu. I really enjoy the Conan theme, although it is really a mash of all sorts of high fantasy barbarian themes. I halfway expect to meet Boo along the way. The boss fights start out a little standard and predictable, and after beating the game I can definitely say they are challenging but not too frustrating.

    I am a bit disappointed there isn't co-op, but I'm glad I didn't overlook this game. If you are a fan of weird/high fantasy and enjoy the challenge of a well designed platformer, I highly recommend this game.    … Full Review »
