  • 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.

    Also this game helped me to understand NetHack!

It's one of my all time favorites. Expand

Kinda addicting if you start as the right classes especially. Takes awhile, but really good game. Expand

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:

    Each class is quite a bit different

    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..
