The classic characters are back! What kind of upgrades and reshapes did the first generation of heroes in the second generation?

May 13 2025

As the sequel to the classic IP "Barrier War", "Barrier War 2" not only continues the core experience of the first generation of fast-paced and magical fighting, but also achieves the comprehensive evolution of the first generation of heroes through character reshaping, gameplay innovation and narrative extension.

In the sequel, all the first generation of heroes appeared: Baba Liu, Vavali, Kakaban, Circle Bear, Jiujiu6... They all ushered in a brand new upgrade in "The Barbarians Battle 2", not only for picture modeling, but more for gameplay mechanisms - of course, all upgrade performances are based on the traditional settings of the heroes.

【Reconstruction of vision from pixels to stereoscopic】

The first generation of "Barrien Battle" captured players with its Q-version pixel style and magical style. The sequel achieved a leap in visual expression through 3D modeling technology and detailed portrayal on the basis of retaining character recognition.

The most obvious change is the Circle Bear, who appeared in the first generation. In the sequel, the styles of the Circle Bear and the first generation are completely different. The overall body shape is more suitable for the "personality" of the Circle Bear, and the facial expressions and the color matching of the body are also more powerful, which gives a sense of déjà vu that pushes violent aesthetics to a new level.

Our "protective lady" Baba Liu follows the iconic beard of the first generation and the ham weapon. But the image has been upgraded from pixel style to a three-dimensional rough warrior: the muscle texture is clearly visible, and the impact of the whirlwind slash in the combat special effects is enhanced by 3D, making the grass-cut feel more refreshing.

The setting of the "burst-music man" by another traditional popular character Kakaban has also been further magnified. The ultimate move in the game "lands collapse and earth crack" has the scene destructive effect, demonstrating the sense of power of the character's character.

This series of visual upgrades to traditional barbarians not only retains the emotional resonance of old players, but also makes the characters more in line with the aesthetic needs of contemporary players through technical iterations, allowing "Barbaric War 2", as a sequel, to achieve innovation while following the classics.

【Innovation of Skill Mechanisms】

In the first generation of "Barrien War", the hero's skill system is known for its simplicity and ease of use, while the genre depends more on the influence of the "random talent" gameplay. In the sequel to "The Battle of the Barbarians 2", the strategic depth of a single character has been greatly improved through the introduction of the rune system.

Take Kakaban as an example, the core skill "Defying Charge" under normal circumstances is to achieve control effects by charging forward, stopping displacement when hitting the enemy and causing the effect of knocking off the enemy in place. Under the influence of the rune system, this skill can be changed to the operation logic of accumulating power, that is, the longer the power is, the higher the damage will be.

The initial skill form of 996 also basically follows the original "Barbaric War", that is, to achieve rapid displacement and injury through "volley". Under the influence of the rune system, Jiujiuliu's skill play has also changed to a certain extent.

For example, after hitting the target for the first dive, the damage of the second dive is further increased, the number of dive usage increases again during the duration of the final skill, etc., which makes the combat logic of Jiujiuliu have a certain difference.

As a classic among classics, thanks to the rune system, the upper limit of Baba's six combat genres is much richer than that of the first generation. For example, the rune "Scarlet Mania" has transformed from the close-knit combat logic to the mode of brushing vampire bats to AOE.

Simply put, Baba Liu can increase the surrounding vampire bats through various attacks, and this can cause damage when the vampire bats touch the enemy and bring blood recovery effects to Baba Liu. In this way, Babaliu's combat logic is very different.

In addition, the first generation of random talent systems also form a deep bond with the skills of the barbarians. In essence, it is a four-layer structure of core talent + growth talent + rune effect + hero positioning. Every change in variable can bring certain changes to the form in battle.

【In-depth linkage with the mechanism】

In "Barrien War 2", the traditional gameplay mechanism has been innovated and the gameplay mode has been deepened. The skills of classic barbarians after reshaping can often produce wonderful chemical reactions with various rich modes and mechanisms.

For example, in the battle for 3v3v3 Mushroom Terror, Jiujiu can use his "volley dive" to move freely at the collapsed position of the map; Kakaban's charge skills and ending skills can achieve hook lock riding face + restricted displacement area + team-gathering fire and instant killing combo, breaking through the tactical boundaries of traditional tanks.

In general, the reshaping of the first generation of heroes mainly revolves around three major directions: visual expression enhancement (3D), skill strategy hierarchy (runeosystem), and multi-mechanism linkage (terrain interaction). This upgrade not only continues the character's soul, but also adapts to the combat ecology of the sequel through systematic design, greatly enriching the playability of traditional heroes!
