Barony

As much as i tried to force myself to like this game i couldnt, hard roguelikes usually feel fair and fun to learn despite the fact you'll die a lot and probably beat the game for the first time after a long time, but barony doesnt feel fun to learn at all, the levels are very monotone and bland overall a lot of deaths feel straight up unfair and inevitable if you like games that feel actually rewarding to learn and not absolutely frustrating and rage inducing this game isnt for you either. Also most of the classes and all races but humans are locked behind paywalls.

Unavoidable boulders rolling down a narrow hallway shouldn't be the #1 thing killing me.

Pant ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ Explodingly Difficult BUT if you beat it, it will give you enough dopamine that you feel like you smoked 500 cigarettes also runs very well also ♥♥♥♥ BOULDERS

died by rat. good game

Runs well, rich gameplay and mechanics, good pacing, difficulty, learning curve is tough at start but starting over feels rewarding, the more knowledge you get, the deeper you go. This game is polished, the sound design and musics are nice and the UI is BEAUTIFUL thanks 2d artists for this job, also game is fun !

Definitely not worth $20, wait for a sale and even then its a Mixed review Barony can be quite in-depth despite surface appearances, several classes that are flexible on your playthrough, a good amount of items and skills, art style is nice Unfortunately you probably wont get to experience a lot of it, you're going to get a lot of bad luck/cursed items, an unfortunate spawn with enemies right outside waiting or the absolute worst outcome-killed by a boulder A huge problem this game has is it's overabundance on the InstaKill Boulder trap, you WILL be forced to stare at the ceiling in search of those traps, THEY WILL END YOUR RUN IMMEDIATELY if they touch a hair on your body (this can be turned off in the Lobby Settings which IMO should be default until reworked) The NPC AI is rather buggy, your Allies will rush out of the room to kill whatever is nearby no matter how strong the monster is, this often leads them in getting killed if you don't intervene, or what's more annoying when an Ally blasts you with spells because a monster appeared and you were standing in their way It doesn't take long to see repitions in room layouts and the same items appearing frequently (which is to be expected at some point) There are no rewards for your efforts, nothing to unlock besides achievements Definitely better as a Co-Op game instead of Singleplayer Trying to have fun despite it's tough concept There just isnt enough to justify the $20
