--- STORY ---
In BARDBARIAN you play as Brad the Barbarian, who is (once again) awoken to the sounds of his town under siege. Today is no ordinary day though; Brad has grown tired of fighting. The XP grind has grown dull, and his heart beats with a musical bloodlust. Crafting a magic lute out of an old war axe, he steps outside...

The game looks great and after reading the comments I was excited to play! Unfortunatly, the game wouldn't make it past the first loading screen after pushing 'play' so I never got to find out for myself. I'll check back in a couple weeks and try again!

This is a really fun and interesting twist to the Tower Defense genre! If you like Tiny Guardians, Arel Wars, Arel Wars II, Samurai Zombies, Army of Darkness, etc, then you're gonna love this! Free to play and so far it does not require any micro transactions for me to progress. However, I like it so much that I have no problem buying the paid version to help the devs. Excellent work. Keep it up!

P70%
by P####:

I'm loving the game so far. It lags a little when I pic my save for some reason but other then that I haven't been having any problems

S70%
by S####:

Fun game. Bought it on pc first then looked up to see it on here. Paid far less on pc due to steam sale. So I bought a couple iap to support the dev more. :)

How the hell can I get the achievement I am Legend. I have made it to the second day in insane mode and survived some days... How can I then post this?

E70%
by E####:

Very inventive and the music isn't bad at all. You run around just playing music and dodging attacks and your team does all the fighting.

N70%
by N####:

Left trigger x brings up pause menu there is a mapping issue that can't be changed on user level for nvidia shield portable might be a fun game if it worked right

S70%
by S####:

I did enjoy this. Since there is no direct feedback in game, I'll do it here. For some reason pause and summon/spell are BOTH X button. So you can't summon or use the spell bound to it. Since there is no way to change buttons, game is unplayable.

challenging and just awesome art style plus you get a cute racoon very soon into the game :3 it collects your gold therfore making more profit because u never miss any of it so yeah great game when u don't have access to Internet you can just keep on playing without getting bored 5 stars !

Even after years of browsing the Google play store, I have yet to come across a game like this. It controls well, the resource gain is fair, and the units are powered just right. I don't feel like I need microtransactions to succeed. I suggest you grab this game right now.

Bard looks like my boyfriend. This plays like an RPG, tower defender, beat em up/dungeon crawler. It's pleasingly challenging. Slay enemies to drop coins and music notes used for different upgrades. Characters are great. Give it a go!

T70%
by T####:

This is a great game. I haven't put forth the cash for the gold axe, but I'm leaning towards it. Keep up the great work. Needs either some more levels, newer, abilities, or some new units. Once I got through it, hard core was just a little more monotonous. But overall I really love the game!

T70%
by T####:

Really loved this game. Awesome. But 1 thing still needs to be done. Bard dies soon. So make an equipment so that he doesn't die fast. Or heal him. Not through healer, but through some other ways.

G70%
by G####:

The game itself is fun. It is kind of like a "bullet hell" game where you must shoot the enemies as they head towards your home. The reason why I gave it a two is because there is a problem with the game where it'll constantly keep your phone in a wake lock consuming tons of battery. For some reason the game constantly runs in the background and wakes up your phone. I noticed a drastic battery drain after installing this app.

H70%
by H####:

However, a slight improvement could be made. The controls are very inaccurate. For example, as you run in the minigames , you constantly have to let go of your screen to change directions. Still a great game

Great game. Great soundtrack. Only complaint is that I had to do a factory reset and lost my entire game and now I have to start from scratch because there's no restore option... Very annoying. But an otherwise good game.

I was playing the game, and when I went to go use shell razor he doesn't shoot at anything..... I would happily put money towards the game, if the units actually worked properly

Y70%
by Y####:

I wish it kept going though. I wish there were save points for Day 2. I wish I could have even more upgrades. I have so much money and nothing to spend it on!

T70%
by T####:

Re-download after a year of not playing, and some of the bugs have been fixed and I'm loving the game again.

T70%
by T####:

Needs more the main character needs to be able to inflict damage as well instead of just standing there like a dunce waiting for everyone else to fight or for the bad guys to kill him.

Good game. This is cool game. I can upgrade many things. And I can get so much money from playing

R70%
by R####:

it's a good game but there's a ton of bugs with the xbox 360 controller support

T70%
by T####:

hate the movement system. the phone is flat, simulating a controller on it is an abomination!

M70%
by M####:

Why on earth is this writing 20 megabytes of data to my internal storage as I play it? I can't afford to clog my phone up this much, games need to exist primarily on the SD. I'm really disappointed that I have to uninstall this. It was great and I put so many hours in.

M70%
by M####:

Not the best game but it's good. You do nothing but move around while your small group follow closely and do all the work for you and keep them from getting to tower to destroy it. It's sort alike rpg tower defense. It's nice change pace from all tower defense which is same thing all over. This one is different.

by M####:

This game is brilliant. I don't usually write reviews, but I just had to on this game. I'm unsure, whether it's a team that worked on this or was it a single developer, but the idea is genius. It is single-handedly one of my top 5 games I have ever played on mobile. One quick thing though - I haven't gotten far into the game yet, but I have the upgrade that opens the two shops at the top. And it's sometimes a little hard to notice the drops at them. Would be nice if they had some sort of a glowing outline.

awesome addictive and really fun to play+ Love the musics

E70%

Not a pay to play game. I love it, mechanics are fun, and it's a very fun game.

W70%

So good. Only recommendation is that ninjas should go behind Brad, like archers.

Finally beat the game and even more unlocks! Should of been advertised on TV like some of the other popular ones...

Fun, engaging, and this is the second phone I put it on. Do wish bard moved faster in survival mode tho. At least make the speed upgrades count
