This game is about to blow up in 2024. I remember playing this years ago with my friends. Crazy how much content they've added and how much the game has changed, while still maintaining it's core identity.

[@vforwombat9915]

"This game is about to blow up in 2024." they added explosion traps?

[@JonezBBQ]

@@vforwombat9915 in your pc yeah

[@julimos7301]

For sure, the new UI is a GAMECHANGER too, it was really hard for me to get into the game because although I did understand what was going on I couldn't dare to put in the effort, and with many more guides available now it's much easier to get into.

[@brianmoyachiuz905]

The multiple addition was pure genius and I love it, now I can suffer with friends 😂

[@eugenincognito450]

@@vforwombat9915 there are fire traps you can set up and a spell shooting block that can cast fireball... If that counts.

[@mwcrane13]

For future reference, you can burn up the cursed staves to raise your magic skill. They do get stuck to you once you wield them, but they get unequipped once they break. Just spam away!

[@David_Brenna]

Same thing with cursed throwables

I'm just getting a dopamine hit listening you speak so greatly of the game

I've got Sheridan added on steam, he's a really cool guy who when I first got the game and was struggling, after mentioning in the community forums, he shot me an add and played with me to teach me some things! 20/10 would recommend.

[@GhostofJamesMadison]

Oh wow they UI and inventory looks so good now. I had so much fun wit this game like 3 years ago, i guess its finally time to get back! Thanks again for the updatw video. Its so harf to keep track of all the indie games and their uodate cycles. Your a true blessing my dude!

[@Maxstate]

HELL YES BARONY! Dude one of the few games that give me both that old school feel plus the idea that there's so much more to do with it potentially

[@unclejimbo888]

Thank you for very quickly explaining mechanics as you run past things. I think this is the first video of you that I've seen and this is really nice. A lot of people would just scream "Omg Minotaur" and start rushing through all enthusiastic but not actually explaining anything about the game other than what's apparent

[@TheEtherea]

The game needs more exposure. I have been playing it recently as well and man there were lots of changes compared to early version. Also it's crazy how few people actually did any achievements. 1.2% escaped Citadel as Succubus. Jesus..

[@theswamps6589]

Bought that game years ago, found it to be lacking Now it looks really good !

[@heroicx00]

to be fair game is pretty gd difficult ive made it to zone 2 or 3 with the succubus

[@julimos7301]

I'm pretty sure Succubus is DLC content, though. And also yeah the game is pretty difficult (got it a while ago but got back into it recently aswell).

[@blaire9524]

Well uhh it's dlc

[@MrMeszaros]

Bought Barony when Splat covered it first and it is the gift that keeps on giving since then

[@kyle1758]

I picked this up and all the extra content a little while back for something to play on the Steam Deck. Haven't dug in quite yet but you did a really good job hyping it up, so I know what I'm playing this weekend.

If you find a cursed staff you can put it on and just use it till it breaks to level up your magic.

[@Loquacious_Jackson]

Huh?

[@TheMcZioms]

​@@Loquacious_JacksonUsing staffs levels up Magic stat, cursed items cannot be unequiped, BUT if you equip a cursed staff and use it until it breaks it will level up your magic stat and it will automaticly unequip itself when it breaks.

tip for anyone play a Human Wanderer they have many skills to help survival and will make getting used to mechanics easier. Focus on hitting mobs and then backing up to avoid their hits and you can also block with torchs. Enjoy!

[@everinghall8622]

Human wanderer is the actual best noob class. Not so good at combat that you get conditioned to be a bump warrior, but not so bad a beginner can't fight effectively.

[@everinghall8622]

I would like to submit skeleton rogue for great noob combos. When you don't have to eat you can really take your time to sneak around and pick up all the shinies plus you are immune to fire, which was my biggest run ender early on

[@thelemon5069]

You can block with tourchs!!!!

[@lucaockert3030]

I remember the first time I entered the „gnome zone“ and I was really scared but luckily I had a magic reflection amulet which helped me survive the worst down there

[@pocketsocrates6140]

This game is also brilliant in co-op, and the way some characters seem to interact with each other's abilities can be cool.

[@wobyr832]

You got me hooked on this the last time you covered it, thanks man!

[@boogieboo5085]

"Bury me with my money..." Holy shit, I never thought I would find another Sunset Riders fan! My friends and I spent many weekends in the arcade playing that game.

Incredible game. Play ninja, save throwing weapons, go gnome and spam spells until you’re broken op. Then you can do 100% of content. 10/10 indie game

Say what? Switch to gnome after?

[@TheMcZioms]

​@@ryanpongracz8051When you are playing, on second floor there is a secret floor called Gnome Mines where there are many gnomes, a lot of them have staffs which you can use to level up your magic very easily

Played this with friends a year ago and it was a blast but we felt like we had seen most of what it had to offer after a few runs. Will have to give it another shot.

[@CaptainMug]

I played Barony back in 2022, I died like 20 times before I even got past the 5th level and never really gave it a chance since I hate unforgiving games but huh I might pick it up again.

[@MacroAggressor]

Hey, SplatterCat... idk if you have any control or influence over this, but the game link under the description is showing Minecraft for some reason instead of Barony.

[@mikeb9486]

This game is great with other players. I usually turn off traps and the mino. If my friends and I make it to the gnome level and it goes well, it puts us on a direct path to victory.

First of all thanks for the content... And the request, as you cover indie games, Last Epoch is about to release its 1.0 in 3 weeks and has been making waves. I know it might not be your style but since you cover indie games and LE is a very successful indie game story i thought it might deserve some of your time.

[@M.R.B.]

10mins into the video; the gameplay really reminded me of Ultima Underworld. A much improved Ultima Underworld. Definitely interested.

[@keagancantrell3756]

Got into Barony about two years ago, have a decent number of hours at about 150 and have gotten quite a few people into it as well. As of the last 3-4 months we have pretty much permanently swapped over to hardcore difficulty due being experienced enough to not find difficulty in base game. In my experience I would say you should always go to every secret level unlike what is said at 12:28. Same as many other video games that get progressively harder ie RoR2. You should basically always go for the riskiest/hardest challenge, especially if your run is bad. Its better to save time and play risky for potential major gains rather than slowly falling further and further behind until you inevitably die an hour later. That being said new players should probably play for 3-5 hours before seriously considering gnome level. By all means have fun exploring, but don't go in expecting to smoke the place. It will take a lot of deaths combined with trail and error, but once you get comfortable clearing gnome level your runs will be far stronger and smoother.

[@revvv9848]

woahhh very good game, gameplay🔥🔥 ill try this

[@maboilaurence8227]

If there's a game that deserves to become super popular it's Barony. So many memorable moments when I played it with my group, it gives those cozy 90s RPGs feels I crave so much.

[@brianmoyachiuz905]

This game is awesome, I've seen multiplayer and I love it alot, first it can be a fun dungeon crawler and later it can be a horror game with some ways to fight back

[@NicholasBrakespear]

My dream game in this general genre would be a mix of Barony and Noita - like, Barony, but with Noita physics.

[@Waguely]

You may still use cursed staffes to level up your magic and casting, Just spam it till it breaks and you are free

[@erickschusterdeoliveira2662]

[@Doommachine12]

Fyi i havent seen anyone mention but you can use magic staves to level up casting and such you just need to use it till it breaks to remove it so you can spam most you find that you dont need just to get levels :)

[@TKScreamer]

The boulder deals 80 dmg so later someone from tankier class can actually survive being hit by it. Also a useless tip: minotaur can be killed if you are strong enough. (I was able to do it with monk 18lvl)

[@Tawleyn]

It's also always worth waiting until the very last possible second to leave in a Minotaur level because there's a small chance that the Zapp Brigade will show up before it spawns. They all spawn at the starting location (where the minotaur spawns) and about 20 guys show up all wearing high level gear and wielding lightning staffs. They will demolish the minotaur for you, and several of them will inevitably be smashed, giving you access to all that sweet sweet gear. Also, you can recruit them just like any other human if you're playing a race that is friendly to humans.

[@albusbalthazar2958]

Wow they finally updated it!

[@pilotnamealreadytaken6035]

This looks fun AF

[@ratbones9156]

boulders are not actually a 1 shot they just do a crazy amount of damage. if you have a lot of health and armor or are high level you can tank them (though i very much don't recommend it). the minotaur is the same but since it can just keep hitting you it may as well be.

[@baium1337]

Last time i beat it with a friend in 2016, god damn. Looks like this game has a lot of new stuff, diving back in.

[@ryanclemons1]

Yeah Barony is one of them games that I really wish had more settings for difficulty or a progression system....I get it they want to make a balls to the walls hard game but I found it very frustrating I get it's real life skill based but some people have a low real life skill cap....anyway does not matter devs have been clear that they don't want to make the game more accessible to more casual players and that is their right.
