Barony sells 1 million copies as Steam Sumer Sale hits

Barony is an indie rogue-lite game based on DnD-style classes, coupled with its own custom-made ones. Players descend into dungeons and advance level by level to get better gear and builds before their run comes to an end.

While the game has been on Steam for 11 years, it has hit a major milestone, officially selling 1 million copies as the Steam Summer Sale began.

The game is currently listed at £1.87 in the UK, which is a whopping 90% off discount, with its four-pack costing just £6.54 to get four-player co-op sessions going. It also has DLC for around £4.29 each, though those are not on sale.

The devs posted on Steam saying they managed to sell 1 million base copies, with over 75% of those players coming post-2023 when they deployed their Quality of Life updates.

The game has had continuous updates through the years, with DLCs releasing throughout, with the most recent of these arriving at the start of 2026. There have been other patches here and there, making it one of those titles that remains a real passion project for the devs. They also tease another update is coming soon for Instruments of Destruction: Part 2 later this week, so the commitment to the title is clearly still there.

It’s definitely worth picking up if you want some rogue-like fun with friends, whether that’s local offline or co-op online.

Worth noting that the game is pretty hard, relying on perfect parry timings, classes having low HP, and threats as simple as bats and rats, through to Trolls one-hit killing you if you’re not careful. There’s a lot of skill intensity to the game, but it rewards you by letting you ascend to different levels and biomes and discover increasingly rare loot.

There are also companions to find on levels and recruit, minions to summon, spells to find, equipment to use, and other general RPG gear to loot and wear, too.

If you do die, there are rogue-like mechanics where you keep some class-based progression. Your characters have levels, meaning they get better stats over time, which should help make runs a little smoother the more you play and start new ones. There’s also Lore progression, which makes it easier to identify better gear earlier and earlier, again making those runs just that little bit better.
