Sometimes fighting malevolence requires brave souls and a bunch of smelly fruit.

Batbarian: Testament of the Primordials is a snarky action-adventure puzzle game with a good dose of humor. Explore hundreds of secret-filled rooms, fight big bosses, gather companions for your party and use the powers of Pip -your bat buddy- to solve puzzles and escape the eldritch abyss!

*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.

Key Features

- Gain new skills for your barbarian and elemental powers for Pip, the (magic) bat!

- A narrative-driven metroidvania with dialogue choices and plenty of humor and snark.

- Big numbers! 400+ rooms, 20+ hours of evolving gameplay, 10+ boss, 60+ minutes of music and almost 30,000 words of text that a barbarian would never bother to read!

- Puzzles.

- RPG elements with a level-up minigame.

- Contains more fruit throwing than probably any other game.

- Companions that join you in your quest and help you out in fights.

- Multiple endings based on your choices and actions.

- The thrown fruits are NOT wasted, they are eaten by the bat (who is magic).

- A ton of secrets and hidden loot just about everywhere.

- The (magic) bat has a whopping FIVE different squeaking sounds!

- Fewer repetitive jokes than this description has.
