Barony

This is a great game if you are new to dungeon crawling roguelikes, the game has been getting better and better over the years and each content update slowly sets it apart from other dungeon crawlers in a good way. However, I feel like the game totally falls apart if you've played similar games and already know what to do. Contrary to what a lot of people think, I feel like the game isn't all that difficult. It's probably difficult to someone new to the genre, sure, but there's not too much to learn outside of the general map layout, potion sprites, and estimated values on rings before examined, if you've already played Nethack, DCSS, ect. If you are older, perhaps the kiting might be difficult for a short time, but even that gets quite simple and some of the newer weapons make it incredibly easy to do so. The only "hard" part (Without forcing self imposed challenges, hardcore, difficulty mods, ECT) is the first 20~ minutes of any run, where the lethality is at its highest. The game is at its most fun in the first ten levels where things can genuinely be scary and misplaying is dangerous. You find yourself using every little utility item you find in the early game, and there is genuine tension. I presume most of the negative reviews complaining about difficulty don't get past the early game. The only real issue the game has is that by the middle of a play session, unless you are intentonally making things harder on yourself you are practically immortal. After clearing the Gnomish Mines, you are almost always outscaling the enemies to an insane degree to the point where nearly any run can be easily "won" to at least the original win condition of defeating the Baron. Very soon you go from instantly dying to boulders from being able to mindlessly tanking them on most classes. You start one shotting creatures with stealth crits. Even if things were to hurt you, the amount of potions you can stack up prevents things from killing you and the game has a plethora of get out of jail cards for you to stockpile. The game becomes overly generous on stat points, gold, resources and potions. You have to be playing genuinely terrible classes and race combinations to actually feel threatened past level 12 of the dungeon. I'd still recommend this game to the average person because there's great fun and difficulty to be had as a new player to the genre, but realistically it's just a watered down Nethack (This isn't a bad thing mind you!) that plays in real time FPS for the zoomers and ADHD riddled.

jogasso pra quem gosta de sofrer. Tudo quer te matar, mas tem uma rejogabilidade absurda porque não depende de upgrades dentro do jogo, os upgrades que você consegue morrendo várias vezes é o conhecimento que adiquire pra sobreviver na próxima run. É muito melhor com amigos, então nn quita do jogo pq apanhou que nem um animal, eu também passei por isso. Desative a opção de minotauro e seja feliz :) Derrotei o Boss final do jogo só depois de 27 horas e MUITAS mortes, eu me tornei.... o barão. Cinema

Made me wanna peel my skin off with a spoon. Sometimes I had to put my balls on a cheese grater to feel something after I die to the final boss. 10/10 Hella fun with friends and really entertaining all jokes aside.

This game is so short and easy i have a hard time suggesting it to be worth more than $6

I suck ass at this. 10/10.

If you like dying to a rat for the first six playthroughs and getting molested by gnomes, this game is a 10/10. Apparently, I enjoy it, so let that speak for itself.

One of the best co-op roguelikes in the business. There's insane amounts of content here, it's all fantastically polished and the game feels solid as a rock. I haven't even touched mods yet and this game is already mindblowingly good.

Very epic game
