## What is Barbarous?

What can a fantasy hero do when his glory days as a warrior are over?

Join Emyr and his friends on a whirlwind adventure to find out!

“Barbarous - Tavern of Emyr” is a brand-new time management game unlike any other!

Emyr was once the realm’s most famous hero. That is, until his career was destroyed by a dreadful wound feared by all adventurers! Robbed of the chance to defeat his archenemy whom “no hero can defeat”, Emyr awakens in a shabby tavern without a single coin to his name – as its new owner! Sure, Emyr knows a lot about drinking at taverns. But what about running one? Surely this isn’t a role for a leading hero… is it? And to make matters worse, now a teenager claiming to be his daughter has shown up!
Will Emyr be able to get his adventuring career back on track?
Will he defeat his dreaded foe once and for all?
Will he rise to the challenge of responsible parenting?
Old habits die hard in this comical adventure!

- Join Emyr on his final quest to defeat his archenemy at last;
- Experience a time management game in a fantasy setting;
- 5 unique taverns, each in a different place, visited during Emyr’s travels;
- 60 engaging levels, offering hours of unique gameplay;
- 120 story-driven cutscenes (intro and outro for every level) mixed with tons of humorous references;
- An atmospheric soundtrack.


In this game, you will be tasked with preparing various treats and delivering them to customers. Grab items and combine ingredients into new creations. But be warned - customers have limited patience, and they won’t wait forever for you to serve them! Manage your time well, or you’ll lose clients. Each action is rewarded. Earn points for checking out guests, and earn diamonds as a reward.

Good luck!

### 5/5 — My opinion about this game

*2023-11-21, version 1.4*

I really enjoyed this game it inspired me and also reminds me of village with bunch of Vikings it’s cool how Emyr who owns bartender didn’t know that she had a daughter which she ran away from her but got captured by the biggest orc who was telling her about his life how humans think everything they get they earn it. But unfortunately when Gwen was taking by leader of Orc with whole feast how said you have big appetite has a org that she was put in cage which bring me my attention that he was going to get rid of her by eating her flesh. But then her dad who wasn’t part of Gwen life until she came to the bar got hidden by because she was thief of stealing apple. but then at the end he was wanting to build his emyr in to a inn so that you can sleep there just like now a days.

### 5/5 — Barbarians

*2023-02-26, version 1.3*

### 2/5 — Fautes en pagaille !

*2023-01-26, version 1.3*

J'ai bien aimé ce jeu, dont le gameplay... me plaît 😊 Mais j'enlève des étoiles en raison des bugs de notifications, complètement aléatoires, de l'histoire un peu brouillonne et des TROP nombreuses fautes et erreurs de traduction, comme malheureusement TOUJOURS avec les jeux GameHouse 😢 Il serait temps d'embaucher des correcteurs ! C'est aussi important que le reste ! Et pour ceux qui se plaignent que c'est payant après quelques niveaux, c'est écrit dans la description. Il suffit de lire ☺️

### 5/5 — Sehr cool…

*2022-12-20, version 1.3*

… gemacht vom Witz und auch von der Story bis dato mein favorite in der Reihe!

### 5/5 — Great Game!!
