  • Summary: Barony is a 3D, first-person roguelike that brings back the cryptic designs of classic roguelikes such as Nethack and melds them with RPGs like Ultima Underworld, System Shock, and Daggerfall. Challenge is the calling card of this hard-boiled dungeon-crawler.

It is a rouglike witch means randomly generated dungeons and permadeath. The mechanics are tough and take a lot of time to get good at, but once you invest your time it is a great experience. There is a great community centered around it, a strong modding community, and is being actively updated by the devs. Expand

At first one may think it is too difficult but that is just due to the genre and being inexperienced. I did have major trouble and rage moments at the beginning, but after a bit I got better and got hooked. The different classes and races are unique, giving some variety, although some classes are clearly superior to others. Combat and leveling is always very satisfying and you are given a lot of customization options when it comes to difficulty. Examples include getting an extra life, turning off cheap death traps and time limiting Minotaurs, and allowing to toggle hunger. I have found though it is best to leave hunger on if you are planning to go deep into the game. Some gripes i have are that appraising items can be a pain and your inventory can seem really cramped in the late game. Since appraising is just an annoying waiting game for most classes, they should just up the stat level of it on all classes except the ones that struggle with it. As for the inventory problem, it could be fixed by having it level up over time with your strength stat or there could be an uncommon item such as a scroll to expand it. All in all this is a pretty good game a worth the $15 it is on steam right now. I do advise to maybe wait for it to go on sale because it can be had for a dirt cheap 2-5 dollars Expand

    The gameplay itself is entertaining. The runs don't get terribly repetitive unless you do so yourself, the combat is fun, and you can succeedThe gameplay itself is entertaining. The runs don't get terribly repetitive unless you do so yourself, the combat is fun, and you can succeed with more than enough different methods. The game is rather unforgiving and the only thing you keep between runs is your knowledge, so not a game for the weak willed. My first main problem with the game lie is the difficulty when you just start off, primarily as a class with a lower hp. My second problem lies in the latter game, the difficulty jumps significantly higher compared to the first part, particularly in specific enemies, and the last areas generation is almost boring to go through. All in all however, a pretty entertaining game to sink some time into. Expand

    Pros:
    Each run can be quite a bit different
    Gameplay can be addicting once you understand it Each class is quite a bit different Cons:

    Cons:
    Examining every item gets tedious and annoying
    The boulders will be 90% of your deaths. When you die from these it seems unfair.
    Nothing carries over to other runs.

    *Even though the game was made with a 1 man team in his garage
    and the graphics look like 1988 NES.
    I decided to give it a shot.. WIsh i didn't.
    I wont get that 90 minutes back...
    The game is a new game everytime.
    You keep nothing! and you will die alot.
    I am more pissed that somehow someway this VERY VERY LOW BUDGET game is on the epic store
    as a free game instead of any other game that people would actually enjoy..
    i doubt i will ever return to it..
