It's not exactly Skyrim with friends -- But it is one-of-a-kind as a first-person roguelike RPG with cooperative play. Barony is styled after classic CRPGs, and with co-op It's like playing D&D with your buddies... with an exceptionally cruel dungeon master. 

"We were hungry for a first-person dungeon-crawler we could play with my friends, something that delivered on what we imagined during pen and paper RPGs. Dungeon crawling as a party but without the grind of an an MMO. We created Barony to deliver on that dream game."

As a labor of love, the game has received several free content updates since its original release. 2019 sees the game's first paid DLC, offering alternative ways to play as monster races with the Myths & Outcasts DLC, followed up now by Legends & Pariahs. Josiah explains that players who own the DLC can play with anyone who doesn't, letting players form parties of many classes and races however it suits their fancy.

Arriving in Legends & Pariahs are the new races and classes, each with an optional signature class (which is also playable as a human!):

The Story So Far

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.
