Kinda seems like I didn't really need to go down there.

Tried it for free, but man I fucking suck. Seems like its balanced for anything but solo.
Any good solo classes?

Yeah I've actually been playing it with some friends, it's pretty cool. I need more multiplayer dungeon crawlers.

Cleric is pretty beefy and versatile.

I've beaten the game with a Vampire Monk and a Succubus Mage. Vampires are kinda blatantly OP IMO, so experiment with them. Also Conjurers, particularly human, seem really strong for beginners.

It's awesome, but a different genre entirely from the games you are mentioning. Barony is a love letter to traditional roguelike fans. It's like the devs made first person, real time, nethack.

I haven't even tried the other races, are they locked or can you just access it all right from the start?

You know it's actually wild to me that off the top of my head this is the first dungeon crawl roguelike in firstperson. It feels like the ideal combination.
What even are the roguelike elements, what kind of meta progression is there?

They're all locked except human. They change the game significantly so it makes sense.

>>712684010
I don't think there's any meta progression at all aside from unlocking other races. You die, your character is fucked.

>Roguelike elements
perma-death
item identification
cursed/ blessed items
random dungeon floor layouts (with some unique areas that are consistent)
Race and class combo replayability
Probably some other stuff I'm forgetting.

beat it twice, one the normal run the toher the one were you reach hell, it was cool, very fun with friends but eventually it becomes clear that magic is always the way to go even if you start as a melee focus class

Real time basic action combat with blocking, backstabbing, and stealth. It's really simple but works.

its one of those games that's most fun in multiplayer, but al the mods break with every single update and its a pain in the ass to find people to play with as a result
"no no we need THIS version with THESE mods!"
"nuh uh THIS version with ONLY THIS mod"
"no vanilla only"
"fuck off vanillafag"

I want to dabble but I want to at least finish a run before I do that, but I never even beat the 2nd floor.

Anyone wish Automatons were a bit better? It's the only other game where you can play TF2 Engie, but it's just kinda meh. You mostly just end up spamming bear traps and being really shit vs bosses. Maybe it's better in multiplayer? I'll never know cuz I don't have friends.

Beaten it a few times, it's pretty great. It's actually the first time I've seen someone translate some roguelikes to first person real time gameplay so well. It's simpler than most actual roguelikes but not drastically so and being in real time means it's harder to try to play perfect. Even really enjoyable in co-op since it makes food even more of a pressure point than it already is. It was in a much worse state years ago but I'm amazed they got it to where it's at now, since it's pretty special. I hope they continue working on it

Night and day difference. With 5 turrets you can easily shred the minotaur, assuming you have cannon fodder friends who can tank.
>You mostly just end up spamming bear traps
Whenever I wasn't scrapping, eating or crafting I was making potions. Mechanist is the best support + dps powerhouse hybrid class.

Wish I had friends who would play it with me, seems like it really shines when you have a party.
Maybe I should just swallow my pride and use some of the assistance items
