Barony gameplay

Barony dropped on Switch this week, and following the launch, new gameplay has emerged. Footage gives us a closer look at the first-person action roguelike.

As a reminder, here’s what to expect from the title:

Hamlet is the greatest little city in the realm. That is, it was until the heinous Baron Herx came along and claimed the whole thing as his Barony. He enslaved Hamlet’s people and now he’s an awful undead lich. The whole town’s been trapped in his massive dungeon for decades and now it’s up to a single hero or a group of adventurers to confront him in his hellish lair and destroy him forever. Whether you will die in the dungeons or rise to victory against the Baron and his hellspawn is ultimately up to you. What did Baron Herx find in Hamlet, and will killing him be enough?
