About Barbarian
Barbarian is an open-world survival RPG for 1–10 players, with exploration, crafting, base building and fast, skill-based combat. You explore a vast world, gather resources, craft and upgrade gear, build a base, and take on powerful bosses. Play solo or with friends, and grow stronger as you progress.
Combat
Combat relies on timing, precision and player control. You control each arm independently to strike, block or parry, while dodging attacks in real time. With no animation locking, you can react to threats and adjust your actions as fights unfold. Positioning, timing and quick decisions matter in boss encounters, and flexible progression lets you specialize in melee, ranged combat or survivability.
Crafting and progression
Gather and refine resources into materials such as iron, coal, gold and rare diamonds, or hunt powerful creatures like dragons for valuable materials. Craft weapons and armor, then upgrade your gear at stations such as the anvil and tanning rack. Enemies and bosses provide loot, giving you multiple ways to grow stronger. You can also craft automation machines to gather resources and scale up production as you prepare for tougher encounters.
Building
Use gathered resources to construct homes, storage areas and other structures throughout the world. Your base can hold your loot, serve as a respawn point or provide space to build freely. You can enable Free Build mode in the world settings to construct without material costs.
Multiplayer
Host your own world, join public lobbies or team up with friends to explore, fight bosses and build together. Your character progression, equipment and upgrades persist across every world you enter, so you can continue your journey wherever you play.
