I've been playing a lot of Barony, what are /v/'s thoughts on the game?

added it to my wishlist during last sale but didn't pull the trigger due to not having friend to play with. Is there anything that makes it unique compared to other blocky/pixel artstyle multiplayers?

not enough variety in each run. hopefully the upcoming update fixes that.

Dunno about unique, but I think it plays like a roguelike if you turned it into a FPS. I find the soloplay enjoyable enough.

bought it during the sale. refunded it.
it seemed like a game i would have liked but it was pretty boring.

great game if you like roguelikes. the blocky graphics are nostalgic, it doesn't detract from the game, only improves it imo.

I bought this game like 10 years ago when it went on sale, got a 4 pack for 20$ and gifted it to my bros.

It's always better with friends, but the single player mode is solid. I'd suggest a simple class like warrior/barbarian first play though so you learn all the mechanics.

protips:
>identify everything
>try to get a spellbook of light asap so you can use a shield instead of a torch
>spam shit to level it up/level your char up(cheesing kinda)
>hold onto spell reflection jewelry and capes for the harder levels that have casters
>always use amulet of life saving
>smash open everything in the level, once you leave you can't go back

super pro tips:
>be jest, start with ring of levitation, in the mines level go into the secret level
>your job is to avoid everything until you find the legendary bow, which is overpowered as fuck
>leave asap so you don't die

Call me a shitter but I have no fucking clue what to do as a melee guy against Herx or the duo for that matter.
The few runs I ever get past the guy is if the ZAP Brigade spawns and I get to pilfer all their Magic Reflection.

>>715683538
Yeah, I've gotten to Herx one time so far, and I just got blasted to smithereens as melee. Dunno what can be done, besides making sure you learn ranged as well to kill him, I guess?

it's fun with friends, but it gets stale after about a dozen hours.

yall need spell reflect equipment and stack armor, armor is really fucking overpowered

>>715683771
I was under the impression that armor only reduced damage on physical attacks, because magic still seems to hit like a truck no matter how much AC I could stack.

>>715681782 (OP)
It's a really solid game, even solo. Honestly I kind of prefer to play it alone so I can relax to the bgm and be immersed.
