- Barony is a classic throwback to the Dungeon crawler experience, it is a brutal roguelike, and it feels like everyone missed it, It is full of charm, It’s absolutely hilarious, and has RPG mechanics that are surprisingly deep for a game that at first glance looks like a cute voxel dungeon crawler.
It has quickly become one of my all-time favorite games.

Title: The amazing Roguelike game you missed - Barony
#indiegame #challenge #review - Hry
If we are learning anything on this channel it's that a game needs to make me laugh, and I clearly have a punishment kink.
google supports hate speech while mutes liberals
and u steal dunkeys jokes
@@snoa1561 boo hoo get over it

One extremely minor thing like the aracnophobia mode has a very interesting approach.
All spiders are replaced by crabs, which have their own unique model, sounds, slightly different animations, and even the miniboss version of the mob has its own name.
EVEN, there is a class that can transform into a couple monsters, including spiders, and with the phobia mode you can transform into a CRAAAAB, BE CRAB, PRAISE CRAB (the transform spell also has a costum icon)
Oh I love that!
i really like that. i dont have arachnophobia but think most arachnophobia mods/modes are really lazy/dumb but that actually is a full replacement/substitution
What if you’re scared of spiders AND crabs
@@purpleblah2Well you will have to face atleast one fear aint yah
I had a lot of trouble playing because of the spiders and then they released the arachnophobia mode a few days later. Truly amazing.
The part that hit the hardest was “I don’t have friends to play with join my discord”. I feel that all to much.
You're so right lol (add me on Steam pls)
I LOVE Barony, and it just got a HUGE update too. They added TONS of new hats that each have new stats, EVERY ITEM now has custom sprites in your inventory and mimic chests . Barony has so much content and secrets and techs to learn and discover and its awesome to see people enjoying it.
I can't believe I made this and released it the day before the Hat Update dropped, I have so much new footage of me dying to Mimics I wish I had a chance to include hahaha
i like that elder scrolls reference with the lusty goblin maid being a parody of the lusty argonian maid. also i have seen this game like genuinley 20 times on steam but NEVER clicked on it. might pick it up now
It’s pretty cheap too! Even with the DLC
And here goes another game immediately added to my wishlist... this looked like so much fun!
Hahaha
I love barony, its like what if a roguelike was 3d and realtime, Barony does it so well!!
Started playing barony with my friend a few weeks ago, unless one of us have to work in the morning we’ve played it every night for hours. One of the best games I’ve ever played :)
Dropping in because I love Barony. Thank you
I’m obsessed it’s so fucking good!
A decade is criminal this game looks amazing
I have actually played this game many years ago and i keep coming back to it because the creator keeps adding more and more content into it.
It is very inderated!
its funny that i've been playing roguelikes for like 7 years now and watching videos about them quite a lot but got one about barony in my recommended only few days ago lol
playing for 2 days now and this is pretty cool, got bouldered the first time i got to stage 5
YESSSS Barony is SOOOO good! Glad to see it get some more recognition! 🙏
YESSSS, this game needs publicity, it's so good! Thank you for the video!!
It baffles me how a change in the interface made this game so popular LMFAO
Not surprising in the slightest. User interface is one of the most important aspects of user experience, because it's the first thing your players interact with. So if your interface sucks, most players will give up even before they start actually playing
@@raven75257 old ui didnt suck but was really barebones ngl ingame atleast the new ui has a very good main menu compared to it
I must say, I just stumbled upon this channel and then proceeded to watch every video so far. These are all really clean videos, and it’s nice to see these bite sized reviews for games that I hadn’t played, most of which I hadn’t heard of, and hopefully one day I can at least try some of them. Keep up the great work!
Super kind comment! Thank you :)
Nice video about one of my favorite roguelikes
Thank you, that you give this game a try and show other people how cool this game is.
Man finally someone is covering this its so good with friends.
3:35 well someone is a fan of videogamedunkey lmfao. Nice video!
I credit him as inspiration in the description hahaha
I’ve watched him since the league days, I think most of my gaming habits are thanks to his recommendations
THE RAT IS CALLED ALGERNON?! I WANT THIS GAME
it was free on epic game once
Got it but never touched it
Thanks for the headups
Fantastic Barony video, nice work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Looks like a really fun hidden gem. Good to see the dev is still updating it too.
It was just on sale recently and me and my friends got into it and we're having an absolute blast, the mods are also amazing too. The game is so much fun, challenging and rewarding. There are secrets and boulders around every corner too. Sometimes if you just think there might be a room behind a wall cause it vaguely looks like there might be, break that wall! Theres so much to this game hidden under a random dungeoning voxel game. There's just so so much to it and it's so rewarding finding anything new. There's so much love put into this game from simple dialogue, the random books with lore, the named npcs like Algernon (rip), and even the EXIT GAME button lol!
This is a must check out
It’s so good!
You playing Kingdom Two Crowns music at the beginning had my head spinning-- it sounded so familiar! What another fantastic game.
My favourite OST!
after watching the video I found the true hidden gem....
you and the channel
That’s so nice hahaha ty
This game has actually been chilling on my wish list for a while. It reminded me of a similar game I played call Delver. It's basically a more bare-bones version of Barony. Not really. But they're both 3d pixel roguelike dungeon crawlers. Barony may have been inspired by it, as Delver came first. 😄
On the wishlist it goes
aye pretty nice vid, just bought the game, ty man
Had my eye on it for a long time
I love how this looks like a minecraft texture pack but is more dungeon-crawl RPG, definitely up my alley
Overwhelmingly positive 🙂
I liked this game a lot but it still feels like it's only scratching the surface of what a realtime 3d first person roguelike could be
I actually decided to randomly get this game a few months ago because it worked on the Steam Deck, and while its a lot to digest at first, I really do enjoy it. I await more players to hop on it because having some pals to run the game with would be fun!
Perfectly described it hahaha “a lot to digest at first”
because of this video im trying the game out
Most hated part of barony is when you play it so much you know the layout of all the rooms, that and power leveling will make every run well over 2 hours.
Hahaha I am not at that point yet, I can’t decide if I’m jealous either because I’d genuinely love to be so much better
I love this game so much, but I never have anyone to play with.
I even bought the bundle, and gave way game keys to three of my friends: one played it once with me; one never loaded it up; one couldn't get past the tutorial.
But the one friend that played with me, we had a crazy good character synergy where I played as an automaton mechanist, and he played a skeleton rogue, and we recruited a huge group of NPCs and started steamrolling everything... until I gave him a necklace that was supposed to make monsters attack one another, and the NPC adventurers turned on us as soon as he put it on, lol.
hahaha that last story is amazing!
reminds me of delver used to play it on my phone
This would be amazing in VR
Ancient dungeon vr is kind of similar but vr.
this would be AWESOME as an online game, or at least with community servers
Yay! I will hate this game with how much I'll love it, thanks.
Hahahaha too real
Good video man
Thanks :)
this looks like it’d be incredibly fun but it also looks like it’ll frustrate me too much for me to enjoy it
The light hearted tone, funny characters, and overall speed actually makes the difficulty not that frustrating
this video is the reason i bought this game
I really hope you enjoy it
i had this on my wishlist for a while but since it was sort of ugly i de-wishlisted it. You have convinced me to get it for ral :)
Yeah ive seen charborg play this game with their friends and i think they are some of their best videos.
Ohhhhh the mumble plugin is awesome! I checked them out after I started playing, so good hahaha
i love barony but goddamn is it hard
good bideo i likee tge game
Those almost remind me of Daggerfall dungeons
i dont remember how this game ended up on my account ive never played it but after this video ima give a shot
I believe there was a humble bundle yeeaaarrrss ago
Fun fact: there's actually a mobile game similar to barony with an almost similar Mechanic's aswell, the the only difference is it's turn based instead and lacks a few things from barony so id anyone's interested it's "shattered pixel dungeon"
Jester will be your barony friend UWU
BARONY yeah baronby woo yeah barney!
Hahahaha Barney woooo
played this a couple months back, tutorial was unintuitive and my friends kept getting me killed
7/10, would curse myself with an item again
it is good but also it is a real Dungeon Crawler(not balanced for a easy progression and enjoyable experience) and that make everyone trying it quit after a few minutes.
you should try out traditional rougelikes
i like soulash you should check it out
reminds me of pixel dungeon
Nice profile picture hahaha
and on tyop of that the mp has prox chat and is a whole new game with team damage
Pros chat is mod built by charborgs community :)
I will not play this with you. But it looks hilarious.👍
My brother got me into this game, I play a mean human Sexton,
more people need to host public lobbies
currently it's suffering "friends only syndrome"
I hope with your endorsement of this gem more public lobbies will be hosted
I’m a very small channel :) I don’t think I’ll do much
I can't stop playing this game now and it's your fault
Hahahah
Garry, no!!!
Hahaha
you sold me this game the developers should pay you or smth :)
It was in early access and barely playable for like 9 of those years. It only "came out" in like august of last year. Before that it was actually pretty bad.
Doesn’t change much :) it actually makes it far more impressive, if it was bad I’d expect far more negative reviews but it’s maintained positive that entire time, and now released in an amazing place
@@EljayIsHere There was definitely a period of time when it had negative reviews. The thing is nobody played it then. Its release is pretty much not even the same game it was even 3 years ago. Definitely did not maintain positive reviews the entire time its just the release reviews eclipsed older one.
I couldn't beat the tutorial, lol. There was no way to open the door that i could find.
There’s a sign that tells you what to do :)
My problem with this game is when you have an actual good run, it feels like a slog. The later levels suck. I hate all the pillars shooting spells.
The difficulty absolute scales, I’ve had some pretty decent runs that I didn’t want to show because fear of spoilers, and I think the later levels tend to be more fun if you’re running a class like the conjurer or you’re with friends
this man like once you reach ruins you are just going through the motions at that point, only the first 2 levels are "hard" its such a shame bcs the game has a solid foundation
Wait how does that song go again?
Which one? Buuuum ba ba ba baaaaah or the one that goes ba ba buuum bum buuuum
ba ba buuum bum buuuum... solid
It's a very good game, sadly its too expensive.
BRO WHERE IS THE DISCORD
Description :)
I'm pretty sure I bet it tested this in a con once
It’s been around a while and has had heaps of updates, so I wouldn’t be surprised if
a decade ago is 2015?
Got this a while back for free on epic and i wish i could like this game but the combat is just so dull, i feel like I'm just slamming left click
Wow, that’s a new one for me, I feel like everyone I talk to loves the combat, because it’s all timed so carefully to do properly.
It’s similar to dark souls needing to watch the enemies movements, or swap weapons to take on certain enemies who are resistant to other types.
It’s such a deep combat system in my opinion.
Only problem I have with the game is them locking classes and any other races behind paid DLC. Pretty good game otherwise though.
A decade of development and support, with a lot of free updates costs money for a small team :)
u did what to a rat
I’ll do anything to win
Noita 3d
Wait if Barony came out first doesn’t that mean it should be the other way around?
The lust maid is a reference to elders scrolls lusty argononian maid books
Yes we all know :)
truth be told I have heard of this game but it sounds way to hard for me.
Kind of wish there was a character progression system so my next run is a little more easy......AND NO LEARNING HOW TO PLAY DOES NOT COUNT!
I think there are plenty of Roguelites out there in a similar vein that do this :)
It sortve removes the concept of trying to recapture the old school brutal dungeon crawler if they did.
Don’t get me wrong I love a good roguelite, I just don’t think every roguelike needs it as a mode.
@EljayIsHere sadly there does not to be any games like this game that has what I want....however I read you can cheat in the game I could make my own progression rules and just cheat in some progression.
NEVER SAY 2015 WAS A FUKING DECADE AGO I REFUSE TO BELIVE YOUR LIES.
The funniest part of the video is that it only shows footage up to the second area.
I showed the late game bosses of Loop hero and late game of valheim, people said it felt like spoilers so I am trying to be better at not revealing too much, but I’m starting to realise I can’t please everyone
@@EljayIsHereyou can maybe put later content of a game after a "spoilers ahead" screen
I tried that as well in some early videos, and the retention rate at that point went from about 60% to 20% and never recovered, because I guess people left entirely rather than click ahead, it's okay though! I'll figure out a solution! Its likely just a balancing act and I'll get there! :)
Honestly I just don't like the game that much, my friend was raving on and on about it but eh.
the cuts with the fake dialogue is too much for me
"fake dialogue" that hurts lmao
I'm just sat in my office late at night and I'm awkward
released a decade ago
man
i was 13.......
tried the game for a few hours. it does too much and too complex/hard
RNG is annoying.
too many mechanics even on the first floors. there are too many ways to get killed in random.
Did you do the tutorial? They have an entire built out level just to learn? It takes a few minutes and genuinely covers everything in a really fun way
@@EljayIsHere did all the tutorials.
played for 10 hours or so before giving up.
FIRST
JESUS LOVES YOU ALL❤ HAPPY EASTER
the late game in this game is actually ass... has alot less content than you think decent game but def not underrated
I didn't miss it, its overrated.
Pros: Absolutely stunning gameplay and an amazing coop experiance
Cons: MLP easter eggs.
Shit man I don't know like 7/10?
Hahahaha this got a good laugh
It’s funny how many games have MLP references in them as well, I’d say almost all the big ones do
