Reviews for "Barbarian Bob [Remake]"

Awful.

A decent concept, but executed extremely poorly. What's good about this game? The forest background looked kinda nice I guess.

The combat is horrible. The stun time and recoil aren't seamless. Enemies often trap you in unbreakable loops of fast swipes The same three enemies the whole game is repetitive and boring.

The game is full of glitches. If you die on the last boss and quit to the title screen it starts fucking up and spawning the boss in the first level. If you beat the game and unlock the cheat menu then you can't receive any more medals. I went for the 50 kills medal and after 20 minutes of repetitive hack and slash I didn't get anything. It's impossible to get the "you got all of the medals" medal because of this. Even if this was fixed, getting all of those medals in a single session would be a big fuck you to everyone who did it before. The rewards are unbalanced. Money is useless. There's literally no reason for you to collect money except for the pass $20,000 medal.

Your extra character can't knock down the bridge so he's useless for a play through and you can't use him for medals because he doesn't appear until after you receive the cheat menu glitch. The same looping music was annoying. The secret areas weren't really special or signaling at all, just seemingly random areas that you jump up to. There's nothing explaining the medals. Is one life a single life or when you get to the continue screen? Can you use cheats? Can you use the other character?

If you fix up the bugs and add a preloader then this could be a pretty mediocre game, even though it still wouldn't be fun. Good luck.

Sorry you didn't enjoy the game, dude. Cheers for the bug list though, was very helpful!

Also, I just checked to see if you can get medals after you've unlocked the cheats and you can. Just start a game like normal and don't use the cheats, it will still count.

Bad

I didnt like the first one and i thought that this would be an improvement.
Boy was i wrong.
Id say the only good thing in this game is the song at the main menu....and thats saying alot.
This really isnt my kind of gae -_-'

I just feel like saying "just play the game" to see how bad it is. It feels completely amateur. Make sure people test the game before releasing it ! There are too many bugs. And it's barely even playable. If you stand right in the same spot as your ennemy's, you will get hit even with your shield on, which wasn't happening in the first game. I don't want to type a huge review to explain all the problems, sorry. Though I think most of them are explained in the previous reviews.

And the achievement "Shieldless" is absurd.

I can't live the button-down life like you. I want it all: the terrifying lows, the dizzying highs, the creamy middles. Sure, I might offend a few of the bluenoses with my cocky stride and musky odors -- oh, I'll never be the -darling- of the so-called "City Fathers" who cluck their tongues, stroke their beards, and talk about "What's to be done with this Barbarian Bob!?"

This is just terrible!

You can't even move without a bug dammit!
I would give it a -7, but I can't.

Not fun...

Sorry but i just didn't think it was any fun... it was just annoying to try to fight because you had to be basically inside of the enemy to fight them...
