Selecta Play (@SelectaPlay) has revealed that they will be working with indie developer Dormidin Studio to publish the Metroidvana-style 2D action platformer Barbarian Saga: The Beastmaster for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam globally via digital stores.
Inspired by classic movies and games of the 80’s and 90’s such as Beastmaster, Conan and Deathstalker, Castlevania, Golden Axe and Ghouls ‘n’ Ghosts,Barbarian Saga: The Beastmaster is developed by two friends who met at a cosplay event with a dream to make indie videogames. The team has strived to craft a world brought to life with a deeply immersive story that is drawn and animated by hand using hundreds of sketches to bring the world of Arborea to life.
Barbarian Saga: The Beastmaster completes the lineup of stunning playable titles being showcased by SelectaPlay at Indie Dev Day from 8th - 10th September in Barcelona, Spain. No less than six new titles from SelectaPlay’s upcoming portfolio will be playable at the event.
