Tiny Barbarian DX

8/10

In any case, Tiny Barbarian DX is much bigger than I ever expected, and a joy to play from beginning to end. It’s a fantastic throwback to the days of 2D platformers in which character was just as important as a sky high difficulty curve. You’ll die, die and then die again, but you’ll only ever lose a minute or so of progress, keeping you going back for more. Full of epic boss fights, colourful environments and challenging scenarios, Switch owners need look no further than Tiny Barbarian DX to fulfil their old-school platforming needs.

Although the artwork is very pretty and the gameplay feels good, there really isn't anything too ground-breaking here. Playing through the game really made it feel much more of a throwback title rather than a new boundary-pushing adventure. This in no way means that the game is boring or that there aren't any surprises, just more of a tried and true experience. If you are longing for some retro action, this game's got it all. The beautiful art, killer soundtrack and punishing difficulty really help the game deliver on what the developer set out to make, a solid action-platformer.

Difficult retro-inspired platformers are hardly in short supply, yet Tiny Barbarian DX is attempting to stand out from the crowd. The game starts off quite fun,
