Cybarian: The Time Traveling Warrior Looks Like an Entertaining Action Romp on PS4 and Vita

Yes, that's right -- it's a brand new game coming to PS Vita. Cybarian: The Time Traveling Warrior might not look like the greatest action game of all time, but it has a cool retro aesthetic and some fun-looking combat. Check out the trailer above.

It comes from Ratalaika Games, a studio with a reputation for straightforward games stuffed with trophies. Whether there's anything more to Cybarian remains to be seen, but for just under a fiver, you probably can't go far wrong. The game is out now on PS4 and Vita.

Ratalaika have confirmed the plat will take about an hour to achieve. I dont think the game has to be completed either. It really annoys me in a way because it devalues the quality of some of their games. Some like metagirl are dealt a misservice because of the cheap trophy list. And it devalues my own list which has a growing collection of plats for minimal effort

True, all fair points. It is quite offputting, I'd prefer it if they didn't have any trophies at all rather than going ping every time you press a button or take down an enemy. Waiting for the game that gives players a platinum trophy for loading up the main menu.

@LieutenantFatman im very much expecting ratalaika to have you covered before too long! 😉 And bear in mind their trophy lists always stack across NA, EU, JP region and PS4 and Vita, meaning the possibility of 6 plats per game if you had the equipment and desire to do so

Ha, many a thing said in jest. Although I'll admit I did get a sounds shape plat (or 2) at the main menu a few years back. The shame.

@LieutenantFatman Shame!!! (Whisper it, i also got the plat on sound shapes on vita and used the menu/cross-save trick on both ps3 and ps4 for 2 more 😬 lets not even talk about my name is mayo...)
