About Batbarian: Testament of the Primordials
About this game
*Crash* ...That was the sound of you landing face first in an abyss filled with monsters, traps, and eldritch secrets. But hey, it's ok barbarian, you are not alone: Pip, your best friend—and mysteriously luminous bat—is with you. And it's only by truly working together that you'll be able to solve the abyss' puzzles, fight off its hungry denizens, discover its true purpose and maybe -just maybe- make it out alive with the secrets of the primordials.

It's not the best at anything, but it makes up for it with its charm. The humour in its dialogs, the cartoony presentation, the clever puzzles, the challenging difficulty, the rewarding exploration... It all makes for a better game than the sum of its parts. It loses some of its luster in the latter levels, where difficulty spikes out of control, exploration doesn't feel as rewarding and level design takes a bit of a dive. It never reaches the heights of the games it pays reverence to, but it's a very good game nonetheless.

Batbarian did not vibe with me despite is many pros, sadly.
The music is good, as are the dialogues and humor, i like the combination with the puzzles.
At first the platformer parts work, the bat mechanic is very fun but eventually, wgen levels get harder, the platforming feels worse and worse and the different bats are more and more frustrating to handle.
Mayne the is just generally too hard for me but i eventually quit and didn't finish it.
