3	A 2002 ''VideoGame/PowerStone''-style [[PlatformFighter Platform]] FightingGame developed by Saffire and published by Creator/TitusSoftware.
4
5	The game features ten different playable fighters, each with different weapons and abilities. The player may freely destroy the environment, and use destroyed objects as weapons against their opponents. The characters each have alternate costumes, which, depending on which the player chooses, may change their default weapon. However, it does not affect the weapon's damage capabilities or uses.

7	No relation to either the 1987 video game ''VideoGame/BarbarianTheUltimateWarrior'' by Palace Software and Creator/{{Epyx}} nor the ''VideoGame/{{Rastan}}'' series by Creator/{{Taito}} despite the Japanese release being titled "Warrior Blade: Rastan vs. Barbarian". It only became a DolledUpInstallment of ''Rastan'' due to Taito being the publisher in Japan.

10	!!This game provides examples of:
11	* ActionGirl: Has four of these on the roster, of which include Eyara, Jinn, Keela, and Phade.
12	* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Eyara is green skinned, Jinn is a charcoal dark-gray, and Magnus is light blue. Justified as they are respectively a PlantPerson, Djinn, and a lich/undead.
13	* AmnesiacHero: 21 has lost memory of his past including even his original name, adopting his prisoner number as alias.
14	* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Zaugg is a literal giant among the characters of the roster with this [[http://fightabase.com/charMain.aspx?gId=744&id=5184 image]] providing a scale with one of the playable characters, Stitch, who only reaches Zaugg's knees.
15	* BigBad: The EvilSorcerer Zaugg's schemes to achieve eternal life brings about wide spread ruin across the realm of Barbaria which attracts the various fighters respective goals to put him down.
16	* DolledUpInstallment: When this game was released in Japan, it was retitled as ''Warrior Blade: Rastan vs. Barbarian'' and Dagan's name was changed to Rastan in order to pass it off as being part of the Rastan series.
17	* FinalBoss: Zaugg
18	* GuestFighter: In the Japanese version, Dagan is renamed Rastan from the eponymous series.
19	* KillerGorilla: Mongo, though he more closely resembles a mandrill than an ape. Regardless, he fits the spirit of the trope nonetheless.
20	* MagicKnight: Among the characters who use magic in battle include Corath, Eyara, Jinn, and Magnus.
21	* MightyGlacier: 21 and Mongo are the biggest and heaviest of the playable characters in the game.
22	* MrFanservice: Dagan. {{Hunk}} with obvious HeroicBuild? Check. Also has a fairly revealing outfit to show off said build. Also check.
23	* MsFanservice: Keela and Eyara. The former is conventionally attractive being a blonde haired woman in a cleavage and midriff baring outfit. Eyara is a [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Green-skinned]] PlantPerson who wears even less.
24	* MultiMeleeMaster: Two fighters who carry multiple weapons to switch between while in battle are Dagan, an ax and a sword, and Phade, who has a spear and WolverineClaws.
25	* OurGeniesAreDifferent: Djinn in this universe are HornedHumanoid demonic beings with charcoal dark skin and magic casting abilities.
26	* PeltsOfTheBarbarian: Dagan and Keela are barbarians who wear animal pelts as part of their outfits.
27	* PowerFloats: Magnus can float. As a drawback, he can't lift objects to use as makeshift weapons or throwing against opponents.
28	* RealIsBrown: Expecting any color else aside from dull shades of brown and/or gray? With the minor exception of its winter level (Shipwreck Waters), you're out of luck.
29	* {{Revenge}}: Though all the fighters have some bone to pick with Zaugg, the one stand out example is that of Dagan whose wife was killed by the sorcerer as part of one of his rituals.
30	* {{Stripperiffic}}: 21, Dagan, Eyara, Jinn, Keela, and Phade.
31	* {{Tuckerization}}: Zaugg, the main antagonist, is named after one of the game's producers Brian Zaugg.
32	* TheUndead: Magnus and Stitch are two differing examples. The former is a deceased person who has been brought back to life while the latter is something akin to FrankensteinsMonster in that he is a being made from the remains of other people and been animated by Zaugg's sorcerery.
33	* WalkingShirtlessScene: As a game with a ''Literature/ConanTheBarbarian'' aesthetic, unsurprisingly many characters qualify. The characters in question are 21, Corath, Dagan, Mongo, Stitch, and Jinn (of which the last is female, though with BarbieDollAnatomy in effect).
34	* WarriorPrince: Keela, who in this case a Warrior ''Princess''. [[note]](Amusing to note that Saffire and Titus had put a Series/XenaWarriorPrincess videogame, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xena:_Warrior_Princess:_The_Talisman_of_Fate Xena: Warrior Princess: The Talisman of Fate]], three years prior.)[[/note]]
35	* WeaponBasedCharacterization: Most characters on the roster wield weapons and of those who do use the following:
36	** 21: His prison shackle ball as a WeaponizedBall
37	** Corath: SinisterScimitar
38	** Dagan: A giant ax and [[HeroesPreferSwords broadsword]]
