Barbaria 1.7 - Age of Play Update
The Age of Play Begins!
New Features:
Playground Save Slots: There are now 3 different save slots in the Playground area. Load and save different realm ideas. Want to experiment with a few tweaks to your Realm before you set it live? Pull your Realm to your Playground and try out changes there. Have an awesome Playground idea you’ve been saving for just the right moment? Push it to be your active Realm for ranked raids.
No Limits: Tired of the Ancient ones telling you how many Minions you can place, and restricting their placement radius? Turn on “No Limits” in the Playground and go wild! In playgrounds only, place as many tiles and items as you want. Placement distance restrictions are removed, so you can focus on creating the most awesome level you can imagine.
Playground Level Normalization: In an effort to make Playground realms accessible and fun for players of different rankings, we have added a level normalization option to Playgrounds that will rescale item levels to match those of the attacking champion. A player with a level 2 max champion attacking the playground will find Level 2 items, while a Level 5 champion will find Level 5 items. The option to always use your actual minion and item levels is in the Playground settings.
Mirrored Fragment Skins: Ever wished you could flip the orientation of one of your tiles? All Fragments now have a “Mirror” version. Drop a Fragment on the customization station to change its orientation, and then use it in your Realm or Playground for more variety.
New Structure: Shaman Party Crashers
Bug Fixes and Improvements:
Block Friendly Realm Raids: As suggested in Discord, we have blocked all friendly Realm raids to prevent players scouting realms before doing actual attacks. Playground realms will remain public.

The Roguelike Update
Barbaria 1.5 - Age of the Unknown
**New Feature: Caverns of the Unknown** - Battle through procedurally generated caverns in this new roguelike area to earn currency and compete on the leaderboard.

Unlock 4 new cosmetic statues for your realm along the way as you venture deeper into the Unknown.

Crashers come in pairs, and will be outfitted with a random melee or ranged kit depending on the type you place.

Nominate Barbaria for VR Game of the Year!
Vote Barbaria for Steam VR Game of the Year!
It's been a wild ride since Barbaria released back in February. We've had 4 major content updates since launch, with additional patch fixes in between, bringing new features, weapons, structures, balance changes, and tons of other improvements. Here are some of the highlights:
The Age of Retribution Update brought Revenge attacks, additional weapons, structures, and was the first introduction of the Ages system with soft resets on Mightiness and Fortitude every couple months.
The Age of Divine Favor first introduced Boons, granting various attack bonuses during raids.
The Brawns Age Update, that we just released last week, brings new skill points that you can train at the gym, character naming and stat tracking, human shielding, rapid crystal crushing, and more.
We've had a great time working on Barbaria-- We set out to make a game that we would enjoy playing, and it's been super encouraging to hear how much other players have been enjoying it as well.
We can't wait to see where Barbaria goes next, and we would be honored to receive your nomination for Steam VR Game of the Year!
The Brawns Age has begun in Barbaria, with character naming, new skill bonuses to unlock at the gym, and more!
New Features:
Training at the Gym: Place a champion or minion on one of the workout stations in Bar-bell-baria to train and get temporary skill point boosts to your attack damage, defensive resistance, or divine juice recharge rate. Training lasts through the end of the age. Everyone can train up to 3 times per age depending on how many of the 3 Gym areas are unlocked.
Character Naming and Stat Tracking: The Tower of Administration allows you to rename any of your champions or minions. Names will appear above their health bars in battle. Named characters will get their kill counts, battles participated, and battles won on both attack and defense recorded for posterity. See character stats by pulling up the info panel above characters, and find the Tower of Administration near the front ledge of the Stronghold.
Brawns Age Reward: At the end of the age, a cosmetic statue will be rewarded based on how many total kills are made by the named minions and champions on your team. Only named champions and minions count towards this total, so get to the Tower of Administration, name some guys, and get to the battle!
Human Shielding: Grab Imps and hold them in front of you to block arrows, rocks, and weapon hits from others.
Pummeling: Held NPCs won't escape for 10s, giving you time to bash and do more damage to them before letting go.
Divine Crush: Press trigger to use divine juice when crushing power crystals to instantly crush them.
3 new boons: Bonus Mightiness, Bonus Currency, Bonus Loot
Improvements and Fixes:
Embedded arrows and throwing axes now dislodge and drop to the ground when hit.
