Is This the Hardest Roguelike of All Time? 

Olexa instantly failing the hotbar tutorial is so funny.

Oh man, Barony. I love this game, I still play it all the time. It's so deep for what it is. I hope we get more of this.

Let's freaking GO dude, so glad to see this underrated gem getting more and more recognition from great content creators :)

“I don’t need a tutorial”. Immediately lost on how to quick swap items. Don’t ever change.

OH! This is such a good game, I love playing this one multiplayer. All of the 1 hit kill traps make for hilarious runs.

I put so many hours into this game. Good to see it popping off again.

this game rocks. must say it is very funny to see you finish equipping a pair of cursed -1 gloves and then immediately equip them

A little tip! There is a beginner class called the cleric (I think) Which makes the Barony experience a liiiiitle easier.

as somebody who is addicted to rogue lites. "Vagante" is the hardest one ive ever played. i cant beat it. makes me so mad. its multiplayer its really fun too. just hard as nails.

RU-vid tagging this as minecraft has me weak.

This reminds me a lot of Pathos nethack, That is, mostly just the very close resemblance to the original roguelike genre, with random potions, identifying of gear and randomness to the whazoo. As far as I can see its also a bit less chaotic (and easier to get into blind) which is both an upside and downside.

I have a feeling we will see more of this.

I remember playing this game a few years ago, the UI is so much better now!

Before I even clicked on the video I was like, “oh I wonder if he’s playing barony”.

With this being on switch now I've been absolutely enjoying the game. Even though I haven't won at least once, I just love seeing how far I can get and also getting some of the achievements. This is a rpg I really enjoy because of it being like classic role-playing games.

oh yes the best roguelike "minecraft"

Doom graphics

Its hard at start but once you get it, its pretty easy imo I will say certain builds make it a cake walk compared to others but this game is one of my fav games have 300 hours on steam.

It is a blast with friends btw. Getting the dlcs is quite worth

Man Barony is such a banging zinger

I haven't played Barony in years, it seems to have gotten quite a couple updates as I don't remember all the tutorials and the stats/class screens at all. Game looks as fun and brutal as I remember.

Please more of this. :) But then u might have a look at your foundings as well after they get identified.^^

No probably not Lexo.

im not gonna lie, the hotbar thing is so frustrating im just gonna go find a different video.. like.. there was a video tutorial.. i dont watch people because they are god at games or anything but that was truly just frustrating

Im so glad that they are still giving this game the love it deserves, its been a minute since they actually added things in and it feels good

Wow. Him failing to realize you can put items in the hotbar when there is a sign and video showing you how to do it bodes REAL well for this video

I am glad that I pirated this before deciding to buy it. It's more of a weird puzzle game than a real ARPG.

there are some really good mods for the game my favoret being the bently hills song playing when the minotaur comes after ya

lol I get clapped on first enemies…so far cleric is best one…or monk…monk is really good

It was only after he picked up the scroll named temov that I recognized the mechanics from nethacks systems, in which my favorite rogue like adaption of nethack is pathos and I feel like olexa would like it

Ahh yes Minecraft (according to RU-vid

Reminds me to delver 😮 more 3d; im probably gonna try It :3

This seems like a first person version of WazHack

It literally shows u a video on how to do the hotbar

Watch lyciant gaming for bare tips

that thumbnail is the most unacceptable form of clickbait it's literally one of the easier ones if you have atleast 1 friend so boulder traps aren't game enders, plus warrior class is busted, you start out with enough ac to tank most things

Only on Hardcore. Normal mode is easy.

Hey, Olexa! When you review a roguelike with cooperative elements, I know I personally enjoy watching cooperative content more than solo, although you tend to be an exception, your stuff is great. :) If you want a buddy to review coop roguelikes with, I have recently started doing content creation (streaming on Twitch and posting clips/long-form videos to RU-vid and shorts from my streams on tik tok) and am SUPER into roguelikes. They are my favorite genre and I play tons of them on the regular. I would absolutely love to do some collaborative content playing some multiplayer roguelikes if you are interested in getting a multiplayer perspective on said games. I just joined your Discord server as well, so I can shoot you a message if you would like to chat about it! Keep up the excellent work!

Hmmmm.... NetHack in 3D... interesting

You should try paint the town red

This def is the hardest rougelike, at least the first hour i played it, i thought i was doing something wrong because i sucked so much... but no the game just.. wow

I picked this game for free on Epic Games a long time back! I never got around to playing it but maybe this will convince me

It's funny going through tutorial asking questions yet they add tutorial clips for exactly that question

That's it? You resisted the urge to jump back in after that troll destroyed Charlie?

How long has it been since I played this game. It looks so much cleaner now and they now have tutorials?

Haven’t watched in a while but favorite comfort RU-vidr , hoping for a series on this 🙏

Pleeease do play more of this

Is it available for VR😲

Definitely tough, I've only won once and towards the end its just a mad dash to get through the last few floors

Fuck ya let's go dudes

i play barony with friends 6 hours per run, its fantastic. Like a d&d

YOOOO BARONY my beloved

How to be a gaming journalist... Fail at the hotbar tutorial 😆...

Wish this game had significant content mods and whatnot. I think there's so much potential.

got the game yesterday and played couch co-op, we died a lot but had fun

Its not the hardest 🤓

He will teach you how to place your sheld on the 2nd slot of your hot bar

IMAGINE WHEN HE FINDS OUT ITS MULTIPLAYER

Looove Barony, absolute banger of a roguelike. I'm also complete trash at it despite having a LOT of hours into it lol

My favorite part was when he went insane.

moar

Big fan, please play more Olexa

barony is such a cool game yk

thank you for playing this

Reminds me of good old AD&D.

Are you Northern Lions son?

Damn where is voidogo we need more its amazing or can you play the black jack game

Hopefully we see more of this

More! Love the depth

Would love to see more of this!

It was almost painful watching how un-coordinated he is with the hot bar/swapping things around, along with being blind to random parts of the screen/UI like asking about a map when it’s always up in bottom corner and completely missing things like the spells button

Oh man, Barony's so cool! Didn't realize there was an update, gotta go back and play some more.

The hardest rouge-like definitely has to be fear and hunger, being extremely punishing and cunning

This is a literal rhythm roguelike game lol

ring of pain is harder duh

no

This contains a little gameplay spoilers, not any lore or anything, just methods on cheese that can ruin your experience. PS, this needs the DLC. as someone whos beaten the game a few times including the secret boss, my advice for a successful game would be playing as the skeleton conjurer. Make sure to know how to make magic and health potions, level up your skeletons, always go to the gnome mines, and find a tinkering kit, train block, train swim, train magic and casting by using light until your level 40 then use another spell like levitation or forcebolt. After enough attempts, alot of goos luck, and refining how you play, along with getting knowledge / experience you can get pretty consistent wins. Another combo would be the vampire and wizard, where you disable hunger and spam levitation until your max magic and casting, doesn’t work if your against cheesing the game.
