Barbarian Lands is a solo development project I'm working on in my spare time. The game is heavily inspired by Tibia and Ultima, it's a challenge hardcore, single-player ARPG set in a barbarian open world. The game features Tibia like combat with a lot of different weapons, exploration to find anything, horizontal and vertical, a risk/reward progression system. Players take on the role of a barbarian who is going to fight as a mercenary in a war on the north, on the way though, he finds a village where the inhabitants are going through a macabre situation, a wizard with power to create new species is kidnapping them, taking them to a strange place in the mountains and using them to create grotesque hybrid creatures that are increasingly powerful and horrendous. The inhabitants don't know what to do, and desperate, they see the barbarian as a chance to fight.
