Barbarous: Tavern of Emyr

About

Run a chaotic tavern where timing and creativity keep the drinks flowing. Grab ingredients, mix them into satisfying concoctions, and serve customers before their tempers boil over. Each action earns points and precious diamonds, but balancing orders, upgrades, and unexpected chaos requires quick thinking. The game blends resource management with slapstick humor, letting you juggle spilled mugs, rowdy patrons, and the occasional magical mishap. The absurd story of a washed-up hero turned tavern keeper adds quirky charm. Emyr’s struggle with parenthood, prophecy, and pub ownership unfolds through snappy dialogue and ridiculous scenarios. Available on PC, Switch, Mac, and Android since 2019, it’s a lightweight but addictive mix of strategy and simulation. Players appreciate the fast-paced gameplay and lighthearted tone, though the simplicity may not last seasoned managers. Can Emyr reclaim his glory or will the tavern’s troubles keep him stuck behind the bar?

Storyline

Emyr was realm’s - probably - most famous hero. That is, until his career was destroyed by a dreadful wound, feared by all adventurers. Worse yet - right before he had a chance to kill his Archenemy; whom, as 100% credible prophecy has said: “No hero can defeat”. If that’s not enough, one day he wakes up only to find out that he spent all his money on a shabby tavern. Sure, he knows taverns. But running one? That’s no role for a leading hero, right? That’s a commoner’s job! And to make things even worse, suddenly some teenager claims to be his daughter. Will Emyr be able to get his adventuring career back on track? Will he defeat his dreadful foe? And finally, can he answer the challenges of responsible parenthood? As they say, old habits die hard...
