Forgot about this. Is it out now? I know it's July sometime. If you've ever played a dungeon crawler or rogue game it might be worth a shot. But i've heard you just try to make your way to the bottom of a tower and see how many enemies you can kill before you die. I'm still kinda interested in it. It's only about £20 aswell.

We're (finally) one week away from the game's European release.

Baroque is not the kind of game that will set the charts on fire, and the US reviews were mostly negative (it's more or less typical of the genre), but hopefully the budget price tag (I've seen it online between £17.99 and £19.99) will mean more people will give it a try.

 

I remember watching a friend of mine playing the Saturn (Japanese) release and thinking the game's "atmosphere" and overall setting was just plain weird... :laughing:

I'm looking forward to play the game and see what it's all about.

 

For those still undecided if the game's worth your time, here's an interesting article from Hardcore Gaming 101 about the several incarnations of the game, including this latest release:

A Japanese trailer (that shows gameplay and introduces some of the characters):

And a few reviews (that show the wide range of opinions this game received):

Yeah, I've read a fair few reviews of Baroque already, and whilst none of them were that amazing, its like Shadow says, its typical for roguelikes to get that kind of treatment from reviewers. I was gonna leave it and pick it up a bit down the line, but if I see it for £20 or that like you've pointed out Funktion, then it would surely need bought!

I'm surprised people are interested in this actually, I think it looks pretty awful. Is this just RPG desperation? Or does Baroque have some merits?

 

I know this doesn't matter greatly to most but the graphics are absolutely awful too which is quite often indicative of a lack of overall effort.
