How co-op works
Up to four players enter the same procedural dungeon through split-screen, LAN, or online crossplay, choosing complementary classes and managing scarce food, equipment, spells, and traps under permadeath. Fallen adventurers can return as ghosts to help or hinder survivors.
About this game
Barony throws players into a first-person roguelike dungeon crawler built around permadeath, procedural levels, and class-based teamwork. You can venture solo or join forces with up to three other adventurers, each choosing from a roster of iconic and offbeat RPG classes. Every run ends in either victory or death, and the game does not hold back on the challenge.

The core loop revolves around looting, fighting, and managing limited resources while navigating trap-filled dungeons. Combat is melee-focused and tactical, demanding quick reflexes and smart positioning. Playing with others multiplies the chaos: friendly fire is always on, so communication and coordination become essential when the party is cornered by monsters or racing to grab loot.
Barony supports online co-op, LAN play, and local split-screen, making it flexible for both couch sessions and remote groups. Cross-platform multiplayer widens the pool even further. The permadeath structure and run-based format keep sessions tense and replayable, turning every expedition into a high-stakes test of strategy, reflexes, and how well your party can avoid accidentally skewering each other.
