Barony is a retro first-person dungeon crawler RPG, featuring cooperative multiplayer, rogue-like elements and real-time action all wrapped up in a glorious retro shell. It’s a rogue-like romp inspired by Ultima Underworld, System Shock and Dagerfall, which you travel through the vast subterranean complex known as the Devil’s Bastion, on a mission to kill the evil Litch, Baron Helix.
You’ll make your way through procedurally generated levels filled with a diverse array of friends, foes and challenges. Creatures are driven by needs (food, sleep, water, etc.) and all have their own personalities. Some creatures would beat you to death for their own amusement, while others prefer only to be left alone.
"Barony is a first-person dungeon-crawler roguelike from Turning Wheel. It launched on Steam all the way back in 2016 and has evolved through numerous updates over the years. Despite the game's appealing Minecraft-like art style and deep RPG mechanics, it has never been available on consoles. Thanks to a successful Kickstarter, Barony is finally heading to the Nintendo Switch next month. Like the PC version, the Switch game will feature 4-player split-screen and online co-op, plus cross-play with the PC!" says Co-Optimus.
20XX, Barony, and Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP are free at Epic Games Store starting today. The free game offers run until August 6 at 11 AM Eastern. Once you claim them, they're yours to keep.

You monster, Flew under the radar. 2015 was a fantastic year for video games. There were so many great games vying for an opportunity to occupy your time.
A lot of interesting titles I haven't heard of before. Only one that rigs a bell would be Telepath Tactics, which was featured during Indie Month.
Refreshing article among the ton of GOTY articles that all list the same games (Witcher 3, Bloodborne, Fallout 4 etc).
