Barbarian Brad's got a pretty sweet job defending his village against any invaders foolish enough to venture inside its borders. Day after day, the monsters come. Day after day, Brad sends them packing using his arsenal of deadly weapons and his natural fighting ability. One day, tired of the same old routine, Brad picks up a new kind of axe. With a mighty shred, he becomes Brad the Bardbarian! Use Brad's musical talents to summon a variety of heroes to fight by his side. Dodge and weave through enemy attacks and don't be afraid to belt out a solo to give your team an extra boost. All you have to do is keep the monsters from destroying your town's magical crystal... a job easier said than done when you see how many opponents you'll face! That's not even mentioning the terrifying bosses. Is the power of rock enough? You bet it is! A little back-up never hurt, though. Scoop up the gold that defeated enemies drop and use it to power up Brad and his buddies. Recruit powerful new units to help fill out your band of warriors, including one that looks suspiciously like an octopus. There's only so much room on the stage, so think carefully about which allies to bring with you into battle. You'll need both brains and brawn if you want to survive to see another day! The Power of Rock: Brad can't directly attack his enemies, but his sweet tunes can summon a variety of heroes who can! Support Your Team: Belt out some solos to use special buffs and stunning defenses! Dodge Like Wild: Bards tend to be squishy, and even our Bardbarian has his limits. Weave between the shots of your enemies and counter-attack! Spend Those Spoils: Pick up the gold a bashed monster leaves behind and use it to upgrade Brad, his allies, and the town itself. What will you power-up first? Recruit Heroes: As you play, your fame will draw more allies to your cause. Clerics, Storm Knights, Dwarves, and... hey, is that Meat Boy and Isaac? And what is Octodad doing here? Multiple Modes: Take on the Story Mode or jump into the challenges to see how long you can last in Survival Mode or how far you can get in Escape Mode! ************************************************** GameClub is a subscription mobile gaming service.

I then tried to download this game again to experience so nostalgia and found that it had been taken over by “GameCube”. I’ve never heard of these people before and to no one’s surprise, I found out they ruined the game. They force you to subscribe to their ‘deal’ which I find repulsive especially for a free game like this. Overall this game is amazing but the company shouldn’t be allowed to get away with this. ### 1/5 — . *2020-12-19* Dear Gameclub, Go away. ### 2/5 — You have to pay for almost everything *2020-09-06* I like this game very much and it’s a very entertaining and fun game but I don’t like how you have to pay for almost every thing to play this game once you defeat the boss the only thing you can do is just restart the same thing over and over again and upgrade and you can’t just pay normally you have to subscribe to play **Developer response:** Bardbarian is part of a larger game subscription service called GameClub — all-you-can-play access to a large library of curated games (including Bardbarian), with hundreds of hours of gameplay within the subscription. Though full access is only included with a subscription, we're committed to letting everyone "try before you buy" — to play enough to get a sense of the game free of charge. We also offer a free trial (that you can cancel at any time) so you can play as many of the games in our library as much as you want before spending any money. Hope you take a look at our other titles to give them a try! ### 3/5 — Good game but missing items *2020-07-26* It’s missing one main important item which is the golden axe. Game club took no time looking over the original game and discovering that and if they put it in they’ll most likely make you pay for it. ### 5/5 — I found a bug *2019-10-04* When im playing escape mode there is a bug that makes brad and the enemies go invisible pls fix its super annoying ### 1/5 — Trash *2019-08-18* And ripoff. If you lose there is no restart, star, reset, etc option. You have to close the game and restart. DOES NOT RUN ON iPhone Xs max 512 GB. ### 2/5 — Endless mode invisibility wall glitch *2019-07-20* As soon as you start, it’s as if there’s an invisible wall at the far right of screen. Everything an the left of the wall is visible. everything else is invisible. the wall doesn’t move with the rest of the screen. It moves slowly left as if the screen isn’t moving. projectiles are still visible, but You and your enemies are invisible. This makes unlocking the shellRazer almost impossible. Especially with the weird boss at the end that is shooting you. ### 2/5 — Fix Escape and it would be 4 stars *2018-11-21, version 1.0* Turtle is impossible to get as Brad disappears randomly off the screen in Escape so you can’t direct him properly. Therefore an entire section and added character are implayable. I’ll have my $7.99 back thanks ### 5/5 — Escape Game Mode Invisible Glitch *2018-10-27* Please fix the escape glitch where your character and the others are invisible. It makes it impossible to get the shellrazer character. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t get past splash screen *2018-10-21* I am stuck staring at a tree. Is there something I need to do? ## Frequently asked questions about Bardbarian ### What is this app about?
