The combat system is serviceable, an the animations are nice, but it gets old quickly.

In den "guten alten Zeiten" haben wir "Barbarian" recht oft PvP gespielt. Die Steuerung mit dem Joystick ist recht gut gelöst - man bewegt sich mit dem Stick und greift mit gedrücktem Feuerknopf + Stickbewegung an.

Und natürlich hat man damals immer versucht, dem Gegner die Rübe abzuschlagen 😉 - was das Spiel auch zu einem (für damalige Verhältnisse) brutalen Spiel gemacht hat.
