Conan vs Death Sword

Embark on a blood‑soaked quest across five vast regions of Hyboria, from icy Cimmerial to steaming Dafar jungles, battling monsters and uncovering secret temples. Forge the ultimate Atalantean Sword by collecting its scattered fragments while confronting the wizard Graven’s curse. Team up with the fierce queen A'kanna and face ten fearsome bosses in a story that captures the spirit of Robert E. Howard’s legends, all presented in a gritty, action‑packed hack‑and‑slash experience.

Death Sword, originally released as Barbarian in 1987, pits a nameless barbarian against rival warriors and an evil wizard in a gritty fantasy world. The game offers both a competitive two‑player mode and a single‑player quest to rescue Princess Mariana from the sorcerer Drax.
