considering no one plays, the fighting mechanics are awful, and theres only one map, the price isnt at all worth it.

the most people i found on a server was 2 (which is quite astonishing actually). we quickly learned bots dont spawn when theres more than two humans in a game. so that got boring really fast.

PS. the devs said they are going to add more maps after they perfect the main arena map, although theres still not enough content right now to justify a purchase.

might be a lot better in the future, but this is a review of the game in the state its in now

Warning: Humor, blood, and ham... yes ham ahead

Like MOBA's but hate the complex strategy's and BM'ing from trolls? Enter Barbarian Brawl! Beat the snot out of your opponents while avoiding multiple types of traps. Up to 20 person battles where the first to 50 kills wins! Music and blood are exactly on par for this game. Multiple characters to unlock and weapons to purchase. The game is new so check out both EU and US servers to see if there are people playing. The devs are very responsive to feedback so don't be afraid to visit the community hub.

DO NOT BUY!!!
Its a 100% non working game with no servers to play thru.

OMG this game had so much potential: nice cartoonish design, dynamic PvP battles and Vikings of course!!! I liked the concept so I bought it for me and my bf straight away. Big mistake...

Indeed, you'll be fed up after 2 or 4 hours of gameplay because of 3 main reasons:
- ONLY ONE MAP (and a small one !!!!)
For the price, 10 maps would have been the minimum required.
- NO PLAYERS!!!
Servors are empty, really empty!!! We met a guy once few days after the game release and that was it.
Of course, who wants to play on the same map over and over again ??!!
- ALWAYS THE SAME BACKGROUND MUSIC, really irritating !

AVOID THIS GAME! Great potential but not finished at all!

it is really good hack and slash game to play it just needs more players, so join us and buy copies for you and your friends

Trap simulator 2015.

Such a shame: this game could have been so much more.
One Map?
No players?
What happened?

It actually looks like a group of humans, not BOTS could have really got into it. No humans will play if its just ONE map - was there any marketing??

Finally its here on STEAM.

World of Warcraft (PvP).

Well its not far from, see this as ONE of the Vanilla WoW battlegrounds: spiced up with some lethal traps.

Barbarian Brawl is a really fun Multiplayer Hack and Slash arena game. This game is fun against bot when you first enter the match, however as player controlled charaters join it quickly ramps in in fun and in entertainment!

Interesting characters and cartoon violence makes this a game to enjoy when you've had a had day and just want to take it out of someone.

Barbarian Brawl, what is it? Well the name pretty much states it you as the player get to choose from a list of 6 barbarians, but you really only start out with one, each barbarian has their pros & cons but i'm not going to get into that... Once you have selected your barbarian you then can either use quick battle or server browser, but since the servers are completely empty, you are gonna want to select quick battle. Then after a couple seconds you load into a map, noted there is only one map you can chose, which gets rather boring after a little while... now that you have spawned in, you really have to spend some time messing around, cuz sadly there is no tutorial, which in my opinion is the main source of why the servers are empty cuz you don't have a clue what to do. So after spending some time messing around i understood some things, bet i still felt that i was still missing some stuff, what i did understand was the health, the score, chat box, who killed who thing, but there was some other stuff i am still puzzled about... That was a summary of what i though of the game, i will go more into the pros/cons of the game below.

Pros
- the death physics is cool, & really funny
- can be a fun game if the servers were more populated
- good soundtrack
- game isn't demanding specs wise
- has a cool cartoonish look to it

Cons
-There is no tutorial which is a huge turnoff for the game, because you don't know what to do, so you can't fully enjoy it, & instead you become frustrated & lose interest, making a tutorial can really help save this game.

-The servers are empty, i saw only one other player get on, which was probably due to no tutorial

-since there is only one map it can get a bit boring, also the map needs some tuning, some parts of it will be stacked with traps, while other areas are completely empty, so the skilled ones are likely to not step within a couple feet of the trap-covered areas, since they would have the skill advantage, while the noobs would be more likely to hang out in the trap area, since it would be easier to get kills.

- more gamemodes, there is only deathmatch, which like i said gets boring after a little while.

- more warriors/weapons, with any mutiplayer only game, you need to keep coming out with new content/tweaking things in order to keep people interested.

Conclusion: I really don't want to give this game a thumbs down, because this game is fixable, compared to some games on steam, that devs leave out to dry, but since there is only a thumbs-up or thumbs-down option on Steam, i have no choice to give it thumbs-down, because i don't want to tell people to pay $9.99 for a game that is currently empty, & has some problems with it. I do wish though that steam would a third choice for recommendation in the review, like "Too Early to Say", or simpy "Unsure at the Moment", anyway the review will change for the game over the course of the next couple months as Thrillion makes some adjustments/tweaks for the game.
