After huge success play Death swords, Epyx decided to do continuation. Hang on. How can barbarian II be continuation play named Death sword? Simple. First play originally be called barbarian, that be but PC version which got alias ( Neptune , why). PC version barbarian 2 be called axe rage, but they left "barbarian II" in play from PC field called the play barbarian instead of Death swords.

First I want tell youthat the you must use DOSBOX play game and slow down it perhaps 500 cycles (pressing F11). Next you get into are chose graphics mode (I I prefer EGA graphic art, they're best option) and choice weather or no you use joystick. Now play will lading.

After saving princes in forepart, bad Drax is back. You must stop him again, but this time he not only let you come in his fortified castle ditto. There'll much enemy monster on way. You get into play to either as princes ( reliable sword) or how axe rocking warrior. But I have to explain how move and fight. You should move numerical part keyboard, where by pressing UP you move forward, by pressing DOWN you will turn your sign about. Retaining SPACE and compression UP will do sign forward dive (you need to be promoted over river and pits) et al. key you print at retaining SPACE will exert attack (also arms or with boot - yes, you get into dig thosemonsters).

You will need to militate against your alleyway by three levels ( Wastelands, Caverns and dungeons), before you achieve inner sanctum Drax. All three levels of more or less be like each other; only actual heat price change is backcloth. There are much another and original monster (somebody must have peculiar ephialtes before projection is). Good thing about them is as though there's a the other way for slaughtering of each of monster. Play backcloth looks good at the beginning (wasteland of got volcanos, river lava, human heads on bets...). Bad thing is as though both monster and backcloth soon stop repeated. Every level is maze with 28 rooms which kill play. There be no also evident end levels of. You have to stray till then, than you do you understand as though you be finished level. On way you need to rallied two magic things from every levels of (without them you don't state spirit prospect of final level).

Together, that is provocative play, where you get into fight much enemies (although they be too repeated). So have you get into look into outwards (which not as quite be exciting). Keynote come in handy to. Fancy gutsy warrior alone, entrance wasteland of and zawn replete bad monsters. Unfortunately, there there are not enough variants in play and maze- design level interspersing most players. Yet action is there and technical side games ( appearances that and sound) are somewhat satisfactory. It's play that would lapse into inferior category average computer plaies. It give you several o'clock merry entertainment, but then you probably erase it, behind itthat the is too repeated.
