      Barbarian is a 2002 fighting video game.

      Gameplay

      The game features 11 different fighters, each with different weapons and abilities. The player may freely destroy the environment, and use destroyed objects as weapons against their opponents. The characters each have alternate costumes, which, depending on which the player chooses, may change their default weapon. However, it does not affect the weapon's damage capabilities or uses.

      The game plays much like Power Stone with its arena-style gameplay.

      Release

      The GameCube version was originally planned for a U.S. release in late 2002, but was canceled while it was released in Japan in 2003 (under the name Warrior Blade: Rastan vs. Barbarian), and later in Europe in 2004.[1]

      A scaled-down port of Barbarian was originally planned for release on the Game Boy Advance, but was later canceled.

      The game received "mixed or average reviews" on all platforms according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.[19][18][17] Many video game websites and publications gave earlier reviews and average scores on the GameCube and Xbox versions in late 2002, months before the release dates for both of those versions were canceled in the U.S. due to mediocre reception for the PS2 version.[13][15][6][12]
