Batbarian: Testament of the Primordials Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
A wonderfully crafted Metroidvania that should have genre fans plenty excited. It's blending of combat, platforming, and puzzling keeps the gameplay fresh and varied throughout its entire 20-hour story. It may not be the most revolutionary game ever made, but it does what it set out to do very well.
If you're like me, you love 2D games, especially ones that do it all so here's the jam-packed Batbarian: Testament of the Primordials.
Batbarian: Testament of the Primordials is a narrative-driven, 2D action adventure with an emphasis on puzzles and heavy dose of snark and humor.
Batbarian is a tight package that blends 2D pixel art Metroidvania with a modern day humor aesthetic. It may be a mouthful but it brings a lot to the table. The art and music style bring the jams of the retro age as well as its storytelling and humor bring a modern sensibility. Despite the occasional difficulty spike (which can be adjusted with assists), Batbarian: Testament of the Primordials is a game worth trying out. If only to see what’s really going on in that cave.
Bats and barbarians both know where it's at, where the monsters growl and treasures glow. To the dungeon! To the caves! To adventure! May the strong survive, and the weak perish. Such is the way of the Batbarian.
