SelectaPlay Announces Barbarian Saga: The Beastmaster

We are excited to share that SelectaPlay has partnered with indie game developer Dormidin Studio to release the 2D action platformer Barbarian Saga: The Beastmaster. This Metroidvania-style game will be available on Nintendo Switch, PC via Steam, Xbox Series, and PlayStation 5 through digital stores worldwide.

Barbarian Saga: The Beastmaster is an indie video game developed by two friends who share a passion for classic movies and games from the 80’s and 90’s such as Beastmaster, Conan, Deathstalker, Castlevania, Golden Axe, and Ghouls ‘n’ Ghosts. They met at a cosplay event and set out to create a deeply immersive world called Arborea.

Arborea is brought to life with hand-drawn animations created from hundreds of sketches. The game’s storyline is captivating and engaging, transporting players to a world of adventure and fantasy.

About Barbarian Saga: The Beastmaster

Following a brief period of peace after the destructive wars of the portals, the inhabitants of the country are now facing new threats of war. The newly crowned Imperia king, in conjunction with the Sacred Kingdom, has declared war against non-humans. They have enlisted the help of one of the Last Wizards of Arborea, Trece XIII, and their generals. This is the prophesied moment when a chosen one will bring harmony by uniting Men and beasts.

Welcome to the world of Arborea. Welcome to Barbarian Saga: The Beastmaster.

  • You are the last of the Beastmasters. Use the souls of animals and creatures to transform and progress through the adventure.
  • Explore a continuous Metroidvania-style map, open new paths and unlock new routes with your Beastmaster abilities. Evil and sorcery lurk in all corners.
  • Gather beads for your ritual necklace: discover fangs, amulets, and plant roots that will change your attacks, vitality, or Mana.
  • Enhance your skills and acquire new items by entering duels in different Arenas. Battles will use close cameras and energy bars like in classic fighting games..
  • Find new sword techniques that your old Sensei taught you, use magic potions and summon curses. Thanks to your sword, you have the power of a god.
  • Throughout your adventure, you will discover NPCs that will give more depth to the narrative. Communicating with them will open new mission arcs (as in an Anime series) and completely different endings.

Barbarian Saga: The Beastmaster will launch globally for Steam, Xbox Series, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch via digital stores.
