Way back, I played this game halfway through but never finished it for some reason. I picked it up again 10 years later, started over from scratch, and beat the whole thing, and I'm glad I did. What a great little game. There are lots of different characters to unlock with different abilities. It seems like I gravitated toward completely different ones this time than last, looking at my old data from 10 years ago. The battlefield can get pretty chaotic at times, but the difficulty scales quite well as you buy more upgrades. The art is also great. Very cute style. And the music is great too, which is good for a game about music. I also like the minigames, which are a great way to earn money without repeating the same story mode levels over and over again. There's a survival mode where you try to survive as long as you can against a never-ending swarm of enemies and a distance game where you try to run as far as you can while dodging all the obstacles and enemies. Fantastic game overall.

Good for a 100% RUN

May 2024

Game mixes tower defence with rogue-like elements that feels very fresh and original. however It does get a little too repetitive after a few runs. Combat is too easy and it isn't till you hit the night stages that you feel the challenge arise (even on hard mode). Music and art are great however it only features one single map. Game also features mini games that are a nice touch with survival mode and a runner style game. Achievements are good as well with roughly 10-12 hours to attain them all. Overall its a good game that will appeal to both tower defence and vampire survivors fans.

Bardbarian is the cutest game ever! The mix of music and battling is so fun and unique. I especially love the Halloween option, it's adorably spooky! In this game you gather your little party of characters and rock out while defending your town! If you love music and strategy, this game is a must-play!

Jan. 2024

It alright. Quite short to complete the main stage. Story: Straight to point, no much is plot are there Gameplay: It like Holocure, Vampire survivor. But you need to summon your own unit. Art: erh it ok, not particularly my taste.
