Barony from developer Turning Wheel LLC recently had quite a lovely big upgrade, and thanks to that it's also now Steam Deck Verified with the Native Linux version available.
The "Quality of Death Update" came thanks to a lot of work they put into the Nintendo Switch port, which thankfully the PC version didn't get left out from. This includes:
- All New UI.
- 2-4 Player Split-Screen.
- Overhauled lighting solution.
- Full Steam Deck and gamepad support.
- Enhanced content, gameplay tweaks, and bugfixes.
The above is really just the basic highlights, there's absolutely loads new for the game. The entire you way you set it up and play through looks massively different. From reduced friendly hitboxes for less friendly fire to a new death box system containing all of a dead players belongings for easier pickup. The game as a whole should look a lot flashier too with a new lighting system that looks better and should perform better too.
The full details on the big upgrade can be found in the patch notes.

- Put your skills to the test with perma-death, cryptic dungeons, and no handholding
