Evaluation

Barony is a fully released roguelike RPG that has been actively expanded since its 2015 launch. Turning Wheel LLC has maintained a consistent track record of major free updates and paid DLC across many years — including the Quality of Death overhaul (August 2023), Eat My Hat (March 2024), Keep Your Secrets (October 2024), and most recently V5.0 Instruments of Destruction Part 1 alongside the new Deserters & Disciples DLC on January 29, 2026. The developer has explicitly announced that a second free major update — "Instruments of Destruction: Part 2" — is currently in development. Posts on June 26, 2026 and July 8, 2026 showcase detailed development diaries for this upcoming content, including two new biomes (Ancient Fortress and Eternals' Keep), 10 all-new secret levels, new enemies, new weapon and armor types, and 45 minutes of new music. The July 8 post describes the update as "a work-in-progress," confirming it has not yet shipped. The studio appears actively engaged and communicating regularly, with their most recent public post just over five weeks before today's date of August 14, 2026.
