Barbarians: The Free Tribes

No more civilization!

Tired of your goody hut getting raided? Sick of so-called "civilizations" showing up and settling on your land? Now you can fight back! Lead a small band of warriors through a warm, mischievous strategy adventure that combines real-time tactics with paused command planning, stealthy raids and a seasonal campaign map.

Small band. Big ideas.

Watch patrols, slip through cover and creep directly behind a guard for a quiet knockout. Hide sleeping guards, recover supplies and get your people home. When subtlety takes the afternoon off, pause the action, give orders and face the alarm together.

Five stories of standing together

Play 31 chapters across five independent campaigns facing Rome, China, Spain, Greece and England. Meet stubborn companions, outwit pompous foes and make choices your tribe remembers. Each story keeps its own progress.

Make a home worth coming back to

Choose your tribe’s name, colours and wolf, bear, raven, boar or stag totem. Build a longhouse, smithy and shrine, forge weapons and train your warriors. Your camp grows alongside your people.

Let the seasons change your plans

Spring blossoms, autumn leaves and winter snow bring a living frontier to life. Rain muffles footsteps, guards follow tracks in snow, and frozen rivers open new routes. Weather is more than scenery.
