“This game looks like a 2hr Indie Slop Game that you would drop for other big titles, but it turns out to be one of those games you waste the most time in. i played this game for SO long now (mostly solo) and i haven't…”
“Masterful roguelite that is unfortunately extremely underappreciated. Genuinely I have NO idea why this game isn't brought up commonly within talks of what good roguelites are out right now. This game offers a lot with…”
“This game is like crack. If you’re looking for a video review, you probably won’t find one cause there is barely any content online about this amazing game somehow. It’s got all your favorite references and tons of evil…”

“Excellent Rouge-Like! Super fun to hit a few short runs, and the mechanics are deep enough to keep you entertained over multiple plays. Multiplayer is also super enjoyable. Hard not to recommend for the money.”
“Barony is a great game; it has lots of content, it's difficult, rewarding, and allows you to really think about your strategy. It is also hilarious to play with friends. Definitely worth the price.”

“I like the game (can be repetitive and stale fast) but absolute L move on making mixing DLC races and classes locked behind beating the game with each race. I already paid you guys for the base game and DLC you fat tubs…”

“[h1]BEWARE: Paid DLC content is locked behind achievements[/h1] I am not joking. I paid for DLC, launched the game, tried to make a new race/class combo, and the game basically said: “Nice purchase. Now go beat the game…”

“TLDR good game, bad inventory issues. Prepare to sit in menus for a long time throwing away everything even armor and weapons. There just isn't enough room and weight is an issue. This is damning in a game that is…”
“Barony is a fun game with a lot of charm. The sound effects are very retro and honestly remind me of RuneScape, which gives the game a nostalgic feel. The soundtrack gets a bit repetitive for my taste, and I do think…”

“Its actually very fun and genocide against gnomes is justified”
— a player, Steam review · 67 hrs played“Yes and no. Yes, because it's fun and replayable. It's old - school hard. No, because fun is locked behind DLCs, youtubers won't show you that. Also, it's quite strange that it tends to microlag during calm exploring on my specs.”
— a player, Steam review · 6 hrs played“I have finally beat the game for the first time after nearly 80 hours and I think now is the best time to post a review. This game is quite unique, truly nothing has ever been quite like this game that I've played. Barony is quite brutal to newcomers and the best way to get…”
