Barony

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 !

Uma gema rara escondida no mundo dos jogos

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

goated game

15 hours into Barony, I haven't beaten it yet, but it's definitely my favourite modern roguelike. It's a great translation of classic roguelike mechanics into first person 3D: there's plenty of systems in play here. Every item has some niche use and lots of them interact with the environment or enemies in a cool systemic way. Barony has a veil of simplicity about it: the combat is deceptively simple to begin with but gets quite intense and tactical as the game goes on and your character finds more items and abilities. You will be sniping enemies with magic, disarming traps, assassinating trolls, and straight up levitating over pits as the game goes on. You have to have your wits about you because around every corner could be an enemy that hard counters you or a devilishly placed trap. It's not an easy game. Multiplayer eases the load somewhat and is generally a great time. The game seems well supported by its developers, getting major content updates and DLC still a decade after its initial release on steam. The DLC is exclusively extra races and classes and basically costs about $1 per race (with an associated class). The DLC expects you to have played the base game's classes a bit so you have a good grasp on what mechanics have changed. I will update my review once I've played more race/class combinations and have completed the game.

Teaches you to be mindful of the boulder border

Really fun game, has tons of stuff to do and its not just one linear gameplay, you can choose between doing easier stuff or harder, gives a lot of challenge and room for exploration. It also should work on most computers and laptops

This is one of those game with many hundreds of hours of content, but you have to play for a thousand hours to effectively experience it, and my intuition says I won't get enough enjoyment out of this to justify the cost.
