Barony is a 3D, first-person roguelike with cooperative multiplayer 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.
Barony tells the story of an undead lich named Baron Herx, who terrorized the town of Hamlet in a previous life and is now holding out in a vast subterranean complex known as the Devil's Bastion. As a single hero or a group of adventurers, it is your mission to descend the depths of his abode, confront him in his hellish lair, and destroy him forever. Whether you will simply meet your doom in the dungeons as many have before you or rise to victory against the Baron and his hellspawn is ultimately up to you.
Features
- Gameplay inspired by RPG classics like Ultima Underworld, System Shock, & Daggerfall
- Roguelike mechanics such as perma-death, random dungeons, cryptic messages, and more
- Meticulously narrated action that mimics the insane events one could expect to find in games like Nethack
- A complex yet intuitive drag & drop interface to manage items and character stats
- Cooperative multiplayer for up to 4 players over internet or LAN (includes Steam and direct-IP connections)
- Hundreds of unique collectible items and loot, including several rare and mystical artifacts
- Chock-full of secret areas, special levels, developer easter eggs, and more
- Bundled level editor, exposed assets, and simple file formats for easy hacking, modding & tinkering

The "Keep Your Secrets" 4.3 Update - Unlocking this October!
The Compendium is one of our Kickstarter promises, and it turned out better than we could have anticipated. Earn Lore Points by completing Achievements, and then spend those points to reveal details about every aspect of the game.
The slimes are multiplying! The oozy creatures now come in a variety of types, each with their own special attacks. What's more, bats now lurk in the darkness, hanging from ceilings until their slumber is disturbed. Bugbears and gnome thieves have invaded the Ruins, and are on the hunt for wayward wanderers!
Every floor of the dungeon is now full of various containers and junk, making the environments feel richer and more lived-in. I wonder what would happen if you were to break one of them open...
With hundreds of new rooms to explore, environment objects, and shiny textures, the Ruins looks more like its namesake than ever before!
Daedalus Shrines bear the mark of the builder of the labyrinth and only appear on floors where the Minotaur will spawn. What could it mean?
These majestic noisemakers won't spawn until you're deep in the dungeon. That dangling rope sure is tempting to pull.
We hope you're as excited about this update as we are! The FREE Keep Your Secrets update is in final stages of testing and will be released before Halloween so keep your eyes peeled for our next announcement!
