The WhatsNext verdict
If you want classic NetHack-style risk and discovery delivered through a real-time first-person dungeon crawler, Barony has a distinctive appeal. Play it with patience, especially if punishing resets and opaque systems sound rewarding rather than frustrating.
What it does best
A rare first-person roguelike that makes old-school systems visceral
What might put you off
A punishing learning curve with occasional unfair-feeling deaths
Procedural runs can become the same routine
The setup
What you are walking into
Barony is a 3D, first-person roguelike that brings back the cryptic and intricate designs of classic roguelikes such as Nethack and melds them with RPGs like Ultima Underworld, System Shock, and Daggerfall. Challenge is the calling card of this hard-boiled dungeon-crawler.
