Nicalis Inc., publishers of Binding of Issac, Cave Story + and VVVVVV, are bringing the 2D “sword-‘em-up”, Tiny Barbarian DX to Xbox One. While no release date has been announced yet, the game released back in 2013 on Steam and currently holds a very positive rating on that platform. In Tiny Barbarian DX, you will be searching for revenge throughout four episodes after getting captured by cultists and left for dead.
Features:
● Fast and addictive 2D platforming: leap, grab, hang, ride and climb past a plethora of perilous platforms and pitfalls
● Varied swordplay: Flay enemies with savage swordplay and finish off foes by skillfully ending three-button combos with a Sword Dash, the Spinning Sword or a Ground Slam
● Unique locales: muscle through four distinct episodes, each spanning across various landscapes including a snake-worshipping temple, the mysterious Ruins of Xanadu, an altitudinous Sinister Spire and beyond!
● Bad bosses: use Barbarian brutality, brains, and dexterity against epic bosses. Boss battles will truly test players’ ability to master Tiny’s skills!
● Exclusive content: included with the game on top of the main episodes is also an additional bonus episode, The Domain of the Ice Queen!
