Just remember that death is not the end



<span class="bold">Barony: Cursed Edition</span>, a first-person dungeon-crawler that throws you inside a treacherous labyrinth, is now available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, DRM-free on GOG.com, with a 30% launch discount.

If someone's been a pain in the backside while alive, you can bet they're going to be impossible after death. Such is the story of Baron Herx, who's come back as an undead lich, forcing your hero to dive into his lair and dispose of him for good. Thing is, the Baron is holed up inside a hardcore, procedurally-generated dungeon full of sinister traps and monsters, hidden passages, cryptic messages, and heaps of shiny loot. Frantically narrated perma-death lurks around every corner, but don't die alone - grab your friends and go about it in an up-to-4-player-co-op fashion.



Delve into an underground complex full of unpredictable dangers in <span class="bold">Barony: Cursed Edition</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com. The 30% discount ends May 17, 12:59 PM UTC.

This isn't the Heretic you're looking for.
Move along.

I'm big fan of pixel art games, but somehow not of those minecraft-likes... and that hi-res UI on top of huge pixel blocks looks really bad... is it possible to change screen resolution to something like 640x480?

Created using the Doom engine?

I like proper roguelikes and dungeon crawlers, but this one just doesn't click for me. Might end up playing though to give it a fair shake.

I wonder how many of us will fall into this marketing trap .

It really isn't THAT bad of a game, just not really worth asking price

"inspired by" means exactly jack shit in terms of quality. Birdemic was inspired by Hitchcock's The Birds, after all.

The Simpsons said it best.

Meh.

For added snark: So this is more worthy of release than those highly acclaimed Degica shooters you turned down huh GOG?

Damn you guys are a nasty bunch. Some ppl might like that game. I know the disapointment feeling to see a new release being far away from what I prefer, but should we not use the "where the hell is <day>s new game" thread? ;)

Bought the game on IGS thought it was StoneSoup in 3D, until i played it.
The Graphics, sound, animations, story i could handle, but the rest, nah.
An unkillable Minotaur on the second proper level of the game that can
destroy ever wall on it, and the only way of escape is to run to the next level.
A hunger system with no enough resources to keep you supplied.
And the third an final nail to the coffin for me was, mobs that fight each other,
wanna make the first level easy don't move and wait like in a last-man-standing.

There is definetly a charming game under all this but no, why bother there are
other games that do it right.

I don't mind the graphics, they are OK in my opinion, I much prefer a budget Minecraft look over budget 3D polygons. But I'm not buying this without a demo, I would not like if it actually played like a budget Minecraft.

At least I asked a question. :P
Though I don't know if I'll get an answer.

Painted_Doll: Goodbye Gog quality control . Prepare for shovelware .
You don't like the game. We get it. Do you really need four posts to tell us? And did you even play the game? Or is your harsh judgement ("shovelware", "goodbye quality control", "too niche", "shitty", "marketing trap") only based on the screenshots?

You miss the point. Of course GOG is allowed to release every crap they want - but in the past they've declined a couple of interesting and well-known titles, saying they were too nichy. And now such a ... thing?!

It's an evil plot of marketers to get us to whitelist it, so that they can later replace a harmless script with ad spewing monster (and yes, it annoys me too, there are fewer and fewer sites that are viewable without whitelisting tens of random domains).
