Tiny Barbarian DX

Simple and stylish. It doesn't revolutionize the genre, but it plays allright. It plays homage to both Conan the Barbarian and Golden Axe.

Game starts great, lot of references to sword and sandals literature and movies, fun bosses and nice pixel art...And then you reach episode 4's final boss which ruins all the good impression I had of this game. Absolutely bad boss design: you suppose to do platforming yet you don't see where the platforms are some of the time since the entire stage is not shown so it’s lots of leaps of faith, lots of RNG to this fight and of course it’s a fight above a bottomless pit with the boss having 3 phases!!! I can’t recommend this game, horribly designed boss fight which blocks the game progression is a big turnoff.

To make this short: The game pulls a lot of cheap shots making it frustrating because you'll die when you shouldn't have if it was a tad more fair. It really comes to a head toward the end of episode 1. And judging from the reviews it's all downhill after that anyway. First there are moving platforms with chains hanging from them because you can't jump up onto them from hanging on the chain if they aren't moving the right way. Even worse than that there is a auto scroll snake boss at the end of episode 1 where one one of its attacks can only be avoided by going under it, but it can also drop down on you during that attack so you're guaranteed to get hit. Plus there are times where it will attack and you have to swing your sword backwards but since you are moving to the right it often won't swing backwards, and if you completely stop you might get pushed off screen just a tad and get instant killed. The off-screen instant kill also can happen while you are trying to hide under it to avoid that attack that can be entirely unavoidable.

Controles precisos, buena calidad gráfica y buena banda sonora. Este juego es un 10/10 y es super recomendable si te gusta los plataformeros y el speedrun. EDITADO: olvide mencionar las referencias a castlevania clasico y que puedes matar enemigos con jojos poses apretando attack+abajo.

Hola. Encontré un bug: en el episodio 2, en el checkpoint de la roca (la roca que te persigue...) al morir y retornar (iniciar) en dicho checkpoint no se puede iniciar desde de ahí, ya que al iniciar en el checkpoint el jugador inicia "muriendo" y no hay nada que se pueda hacer para salir de ese bucle de muerte. Adjunto captura de pantalla.

Extremely challenging. The game enemies attacks feel badly designed(irritating) though. I only played the 1st chapter and that was good enough for me.
