Kudos also to Nihilistic for keeping in spirit with the Hyborian legacy. This isn’t Schwarzenegger’s buffoon of a Conan; this is the bestial Cimmerian of Robert E Howard’s original pulp fiction with a smattering of Marvel comics. The one discrepancy was that THQ’s Conan dabbles in magic - a range of spells like turning enemies to stone, sucking them into vortexes or bombarding them with flocks of demon ravens - when Howard’s barbarian regarded the only good sorcerer as a dead one.
