I'm really interested in it since I love Roguelikes, but it's an older one from before they came the indie game phenomenon they are now.
How does it compare to something like Risk of Rain 2 or Dead Cells? Anything i should know going into it? Might give it a shot on the handheld on the road this weekend.
What was the original called?
Technically, there are three versions: Baroque (Sega Saturn), Baroque Distorted Delusions (PS1), and Baroque International (PS2) version.
Theres also the Manga and the Prequel VN Baroque Syndrome. Theres like one old site with good information about these games in english.
o lawd I've never even looked into that stuff
Yeah, this game even had a Worlds (you know, the very old MMO were you could chat with people like second life) dlc exclusive to Japan.
Baroque PS1/Saturn, it was never released outside Japan iirc. I believe it did get a port for the Switch but idk.
Theres also a Manga and a Visual Novel called Baroque Syndrome but theres very little info in english about this. The manga has it's fans and the games too.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Same title but for the Sega saturn, from what I hear more stuff was added for the PS2 and Wii tho
