One of My Favorite Roguelike RPG's Just Keeps Getting Bigger - Barony

Robin Hood was such a bro. Followed you without complaining and then died for you when you were in danger. RIP Robin Hood.

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 😂

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!

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

[@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

[@Seventh_Elf]

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.

found out that the hunter with the special blindfolds can see ''chests'' if its indeed not just a chest trough walls.

Fun fact: you can actually block with a torch! Their defense is a tier below wooden shields and they break easily, so you wanna stock up on a lot of them. As brewer main though, it has significantly improved my survivability.

[@Lucawalke.r]

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

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

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

Huh?

​@@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.

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

Does the game offer couch co-op ? I’m considering getting it on the switch

[@QuackG]

So great to see this game is still getting updates and people are still talking about it

[@Mouthfullofwords]

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

[@ryanpongracz8051]

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

[@iguanaacuatica5543]

barony is such a cool and complete game, it definetly deserves way more recognition

[@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 !

[@soniadoesthis]

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

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).

[@luizrene7918]

As an old gamer, this one reminds me a lot Ultima Underworld

[@피리를-불어라]

Daggerfall is one of my comfort games that i love spending hours in, crawling through dungeons. This game scratches that itch while presenting so many ways to get through a dungeon. Im obssessed with this game

[@BONERBOY]

9:50 cursed magic staves can be used to spam all of the spells out of the staff and increase your magic casting level. If its cursed you wont be able to unequip but if you break it by spamming the skill you can unequip it

This game really is a gem. Been playing it for 50 hours with a buddy now. I wonder how it only got so few players. The reddit is dead. I hope some new players are trying it this year!

[@magoochito]

my buddy and I are about to dive in for the first time

[@austinquisition]

their discord is way more active than the subreddit

[@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.

[@SgtMversion23]

the automaton is the dungeonering group's trashcan. it eats all of the scrap and when that runs low can even get by with rocks.

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.

[@wavegod333]

Watching this game the a super cool idea. Imagine a game like this but it’s 4 player 3v1 each there would be 3 squad mates going up against one dungeon master for lack of better term. Each floor you all play together going through obstacles and enemies that the “dungeon master” sets up each floor. Think of it like interactive chess, but it’s live combat rpg element. and after you go a few floors the finale round depending on who makes it that far would be a the players vs the “dungeon master” Hella classes hella items and play styles and mini bosses. Either randomized or set maps.

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.

[@thekeyboardslayer4827]

absolutely love this game, only found it because of my love for delver (another first person dungeon crawler). somehow both are underrated and i hope that if barony gets more coverage we get more action fps dungeon crawlers!

[@j85grim4]

50 hours logged so far and not even close to beating. Done hundreds of runs and only made it past the forest 3 times........This is hands down the hardest game I have ever played.
