Barbarian Saga: The Beastmaster is Now Available on Nintendo Switch

The 2D Metroidvania Barbarian Saga: The Beastmaster, inspired by dark fantasy classics, has officially launched on Nintendo Switch in both digital and physical formats.

Publisher SelectaPlay, in collaboration with Spanish indie studio Dormidin Studio, has announced the release of the 2D action-adventure Metroidvania — Barbarian Saga: The Beastmaster. The game is already available on Nintendo Switch both digitally via the Nintendo eShop and on physical cartridges with a reversible cover.

Nostalgia for 80s and 90s Classics

Barbarian Saga: The Beastmaster is inspired by cult films and classic video games such as The Beastmaster, Conan the Barbarian, Castlevania, and Golden Axe. Players will explore the picturesque, hand-drawn brutal world of Arborea, where every character and monster was created through hundreds of detailed sketches.

The combat system is built around the legendary Heart-Eater sword and the use of ritual rings that unlock new devastating moves for battles against formidable bosses and enemy hordes.

Key Game Features:

  • Beast Power: absorb animal souls for transformations and acquiring new combat skills.
  • Vast Metroidvania World: travel through ancient ruins, dark magic domains, and wild expanses.
  • Arena Duels: dynamic one-on-one battles with camera zoom-ins in the style of arcade fighting games.
  • Flexible Customization: collect amulets, plant roots, and ritual items to improve attack power, health, or mana.
