Description

Barony is the premier first-person roguelike with cooperative play! Pick your class and team up with a party of friends to face a perilous, procedurally generated dungeon filled with monsters, traps and treasure. Troll your friends, level up, die, learn and persist!

History

With an emphasis on intricate game systems and player freedom, classic roguelikes and RPGs provide challenge where your creativity, and perhaps your stats, are your only limits. We present these adventures in first-person, immersing you in the adventure. Quest alone, or with a full party, with each class offering skills and abilities to the team's toolbox. It's everything we love about table-top roleplaying, roguelikes, and immersive first-person action, in one complete package. With dungeons that are different every time you die, it's the lessons you take away from each delve that'll stick with you, while high-stakes thrills and surprises keep you coming back for more.

Features

  • 13 RPG Classes with Realtime Co-op: Assemble your fantasy adventure party for a dungeon crawl! With a class for every playstyle, each player offers their own skills and personality to the quest.
  • Intricate Roguelike Mechanics: Adaptability and resourcefulness are key! Whether adventuring solo or with friends, take full advantage of your spells, potions, weapons and skills to emerge victorious against the gauntlet of monsters and traps.
  • Procedural Levels & Permadeath: No two adventures are ever alike, and few survive to taste victory. Chase hundreds of achievements and experiment with unique party makeups for unlimited replayability.
  • 4-Player Split-Screen Play: Seamless split-screen for 1-4 players, without compromise.
  • Switch Handheld and Wireless Play: Play on-the-go with friends using the Nintendo Switch Wireless Play feature. Pick up and play whenever you have a few spare minutes to run through a dungeon floor or two.
  • Multi-platform Crossplay (Nintendo Switch Online Membership required): Nintendo Switch and PC players can all adventure together using Crossplay.
  • Illustrative Voxel Art Style: Meticulously crafted voxel and pixel art, capturing the illustrated style of VGA PC-RPGs of the early 90s. Inspired by the masterful artwork of Ultima Underworld, Daggerfall and Lands of Lore: The Throne of Chaos.

  • The charm of Barony is a simple co-op dungeon roguelike that also has a lot of depth, polish and replayability. Playing with friends is even better.

  • A very classical dungeon-crawler with modernized controls and a Rogue-like twist that feels right at home, Barony is effectively a love-letter to Ultima Underground with modern first person controls.
