Barbarian
About
Barbarian is a multiplayer open-world survival-craft game developed solo by CraftingBenchGames.
Gather, craft, build, and upgrade as you explore the untamed lands of Barbaria. Face off against intense boss battles with a uniquely fluid combat system built around parries and dodges. Play solo, with friends, or jump into public multiplayer lobbies—your character progression and gear persist across every world. Survive, thrive, and conquer the wilds of Barbaria!
Multiplayer
Host your own world or join public lobbies with other players. Drop in, team up, and take down bosses together—your character, loot, and progression travel with you wherever you play.
Combat
Master Barbarian’s fluid, skill-driven combat. Control each arm independently to parry, block, or strike while dodging in real time—no animation locks. Chain moves dynamically to outwit enemies in intense, skill-driven battles.
Crafting & Automation
Crafting is essential to survival in Barbarian. Rocks are a core resource—you refine them into iron, coal, gold, or diamond, with gold and diamond being rare finds. Iron, coal, and gold can be smelted into bars, while diamonds are kept in raw form. These materials are used to craft weapons and armor, and are also consumed at the anvil to upgrade your gear. As you progress—and with enough investment—you can build automation machines to scale your production, which is crucial for crafting elite gear that demands massive amounts of refined materials.
Building
Build your own space in Barbaria. Gather resources to create homes or storage for your loot, designed exactly how you want. Enjoy total freedom to craft anything from simple shelters to wild, creative structures—whether for fun or practicality.
Note
Barbarian is in early development, and your support means everything. Add it to your Steam Wishlist—it’s totally free and helps support the journey as the game evolves.
