Others - Age of Barbarians Chronicles [v0.8.0] [Crian Soft]

This is a crude game. Flat out, crude. It's something that I would have expected 20+ years ago but even through that lens its still not even a good game. You have no tutorial or way to even look at settings and keybindings so will be spending a lot of time blinding figuring out what key does what especially for basic things like attacking.

If there is a sex scene at all the grind to get to it is far too high for what the first thread suggests.

Frankly I feel like this is an actively deceptive game that has no business on this site.

The game is hard. Very hard. Animations don't have enough fluidity to manage combat successfully. Enemies throw the same punches one after another until you die. If you fail to dodge once, you can just start from the beginning. Some items are possible to use, some are not. Random events can freeze completely. After reloading, you appear in the same place and it is impossible to continue. Verdict - interesting idea, terrible implementation. Considering how many updates the game has already had

Positives:
- The developer obviously has alot of love for this project.
- Fun gameplay

Negatives:
- No sex scenes
- Ai generated voices combined with wierd animations
I genuinely dont know why this game is on this site.

Terrible and poorly implemented game mechanics, hit boxes all over the place, terrible game design with random encounter mechanics are poorly implemented. Multiple game play bugs such as frame breaking, hp breaking, wiggle breaking and etc.

First of all, it's not a porn game. If you are looking just for some sex then leave it and play something else.

There is one sex scene deep in the game but if you are after that stuff and not the gameplay then just watch the movies in video folder.

As for the gameplay, it's quite a decent beatemup. At first it may seem a bit clumsy, just like a big, heavy barbarian but I gave it a chance and after some time started having fun with it.

You generally need to like beatemup games and barbarian genre to like this one. If you are old enough then you may remember games like Golden Axe or Barbarian and movies like Conan or Red Sonja. It's old stuff and I'd say this genre is today less popular than it used to be. But If you somehow like it, then it's high chance that you'll like this game as well.

It certainly needs more polish. The main plot currently is very short, there are bugs and weird controls. But if the developers won't give up, there's a chance it's going to be a good game. The graphics all alright and the plot is interesting.

One more thing - it's quite hard. So edit your savegame file and add yourself some energy potions. You must turn on seeing hidden files to do it. You deserve it and currently you cannnot buy them in any shop in the game.

UPDATE: As of April 2024 there are already shops in the game, there are also more sex scenes. But some issues remain and there is still a long road to the game being finished.

It is obvious that alot of work has gone into this game, but the controls of the game just make it unplayable for me.

There is the option to choose between keyboard or controller with mouse function on both being just an afterthought. Why can't I use mouse on the main menu??
Why do you force players to enter into a mouse mode to pick up items when playing with controller or when entering inventory screens? To pick up items or interact with objects, just have the player walk too it and dual purpose the light attack button for pickups/interacts (this is what nearly every single other side scroller of this type of game has done since the 1980's). You already have the block button multitasking as a jump! The mouse mode for inventory is forgivable, but you should make it auto-start as soon as the player enters the inventory screen, not force the player to manually input the mouse mode after opening the inventory. This contributes to your game feeling incredibly clunky.
Why do you give the option to remap controls for keyboard but don't even bother to show control mapping for controller? You have an extremely complicated control scheme to play this game and give players ZERO heads up as to what input do what when they choose controller. You give on minimal hints with the keyboard controls if a player looks at keybindings, but you don't allow players to look at this while playing the game!

If you would fix the controls to be friendlier to a player experience, you could easily achieve a far better rating on average for this game.

Terrible game. AI parthner have god mode. Hitboxes not correct for real model. My barbarian queen just smashed this ogre fart like i wat been ahead, not dam behinde him! And know what? It's because i touched his leg!!!! WTF! It's not 1980's year's on yard! Did you know what game have inventroy on X? Not? I didn't to, before just hit key by random. And checked this in keyboard layout. And of course there no setting for this! And it's only start of problem. This game no check points at all! Even boss fight, you dead or exit to main menu giving you to START OVER LOCATION AGAIN! Event more, there shity hit on leg, what result with big chance for you knockdown. And even worse do this shit, what YOU CAN'T SIT DOWN LIKE IN MORTAL KOMBAT! EVEN GOLD AXE, WHICH THIS GAME THY TO PARODY playing much better. This game don't deserve 2.5 stars!

Controls are terrible.
H content is lacking.
Quality of life i'm assuming in intentionally terrible.
UI is basic.

Tldr: if you've got a joypad then this might not be the worse experience if you have a fetish for retro games but this title ticks none of the boxes for me.

i spent 2 hours of my life struggling with uncomfortable controls in order to find out that there is NO SEXUAL CONTENT in the game, I want to warn all others to bypass this, there is steam for such bad games, there is no need to post them on our website

I feel like the pictures selected is supposed to give the impression that there's way more sex in this game than there actually is. Scenes with getting kidnapped end up with you in a random dungeon and a button-mashing event with an unlimited timer. I think the Male MC might have a single sex scene, but there's nothing for the female MC as far as I could find. Graphics are alright with animation in a 3D game, but the game controls are pretty clunky and not that transparent. And on top of that there is a leveling system, but when you allocate points, there's no explanation as to what the different stats or skills actually do, so you gotta just guess the skills and eyeball if the stat increases changes your dmg, stamina or health, etc.

This isn't my first Age of Barbarians game I played, Criansoft has other 2 games in the series...AND I LOVE THEM ALL!!! The difficulty is always really high (some more some less), but their take on barbarians is probably the best ever since the original Conan. This isn't a hgame, but the violence and strong naked female barbarians are the best combination ever.

i still dont undertand why this game is here , this game is a steam greenlight by an indy dev who make game base on 80s style Arcane /Comic such like Conan,Red Sonya and Heavy Metal like , yes there nudity but clearly has nothing to do with Hen or eroge game what so ever
this game now in kickstarter stage so here is pretty proof of concept , game play is crap , enemy stun lock you and the environment is a long as hall way
I like the game and this dev for bring back my childhood but cleary for this site it is the mess , wait for it untill finish then

Have been watching this one for a while since I enjoyed their other games. Would definitely have supported for more than a month if they showed intent to develop sex scenes for the female MC, but there's not really any sexual content in this game. The most you'll get is some teasers on a "bad night" or story event which puts you in a sexually implied scenario before cutting to black. Was hoping they'd change that when they opened a patreon. Can still be fun on its own, but I feel like its potential is wasted. The aesthetic and atmosphere are done well, however the gameplay is not up to par compared to a good sidescroller, and the sexual content is nowhere near trying to be a porn game.

Since I'm always going to be interested in their games, I'll update my rating to reflect new aspects that they're working on now that they didn't have before in their other games.

This is not a porn game.


There are no sex scenes just a lot of "Cheesecake" these set of games from the dev are one big homage to old school sword and sorcery games and artwork. It's a dead genre but still loved by many, think Conan the Barbarian and Warlord of Mars.

A lot of people will say that this game does not belong in the site but I disagree since its very sexual themed.

Gameplay is rough and arcadey but thats the charm of it it's supposed to look and act like a game from the 90s.


Overall not a quick fap or enjoyable to many but still great for this who want that old arcadey style games with lots of fanservice.
