Barbarian - The Death Sword Coming To iOS February 2012

Posted by Greg Dawson on January 23rd, 2012

Known as Death Sword in the US, the 1987 Commodore 64 classic is coming to PC, Mac, iPhone and iPad as early as February 15, 2012. Also previously known as Barbarian: The Ultimate Warrior, the new title will be Barbarian - The Death Sword and is developed by Microids and published by Anuman Interactive. Gameplay will be similar to the original one-on-one fighting style as well as will integrate cross-platform multiplayer. It's not clear as to if Mac warriors will be able to compete against PC warriors or if it will only be Mac versus iOS. I'm sure there would be a lot of happy fighters if one could fight against PC, Mac, iOS or Android. And it's very nice to see that it will still feature the ability to sever opponent's heads and celebrate the ensuing shower of blood. Of course, this time it will be in updated 3D graphics. And yes, there are still scantily clad women involved, if that's something anyone cares about.
