Battle Brothers is a turn based tactical RPG which has you leading a mercenary company in a gritty, low-power, medieval fantasy world. You decide where to go, whom to hire or to fight, what contracts to take and how to train and equip your men in a procedurally generated open world campaign. Do you have what it takes to lead them through bloody battles and to victory?
The game consists of a strategic worldmap and a tactical combat layer. On the worldmap you can freely travel in order to take contracts that earn you good coin, find places worth looting, enemies worth pursuing or towns to resupply and hire men at. This is also where you manage, level up and equip your Battle Brothers. Once you engage a hostile party the game will switch to a tactical map where the actual fighting takes place as detailed turn based combat.
Manage a medieval mercenary company in a procedurally generated open world.
Fight complex turn-based tactical battles with historical equipment and brutal injuries.
Permadeath. All characters that die in combat will stay dead – unless they return as the undead.
All characters come with their own background stories and traits. Want a stuttering ratcatcher, a greedy witch hunter or a drunkard disowned noble?
Character development without a restrictive class-system. Each character gains experience through combat, can level up and acquire powerful perks.
Equipment that matters. Different weapons grant unique skills – split shields with axes, stun enemies with maces, form a spearwall with spears or crush armor with a warhammer.
Diverse enemy roster. All enemies have unique equipment, skills and AI behavior.
A dynamic event system with atmospheric encounters and tough decisions outside of combat.
Three late game crises – a war between noble houses, a greenskin invasion and an undead scourge – add a looming threat.
Two full hours of orchestral soundtrack.

With Battle Brothers we thrive to reflect the creativity, complexity and originality from the old days when game developers where passionate gamers, not corporate businessmen.

Superficially simple, this turns out to be a game with surprising depth. Besides the challenges of managing a (very) motley assortment of mercenaries, the machinations of your various employers and the dynamic background world there is plenty for the player to do just staying alive.
This game is totally luxurious... even tho you will have to rebuild your company quite often and meeting end where mby only 1 person will survive... you gotta go further... all those twists are great ! Enjoy the game and support developers ;)
If you are interested in the diffrence betwen a falchion and mace except for damage numbers this is the game for you.
A grim and gritty game managing a mercinary company.
The world is filled with hard monsters and fights.
You will have to do some serious choices when it comes to training and feeding your men.
There is no epic tales here just anohter day trying to earn gold for the company doing bloody dirty work.
Very unforigiving and challenging mercenary company simulator with touch of fantasy aspects. Bunch of possibilites of company backgrounds to choose from at start of each game, changing a bit or a lot your playthrough. You can choose perks for your bros which influences their role in your roster. Battles are on hexagon fields, its like a chess with more depth. Highgrounds included. You must choose wisely postioning of your bros, which weapons to give them to let them shine properly, considering their stats, fatigue and so much more. Game for true gigachads who like to face a challenge to feel true success by overcoming your enemy. Or miserably fail just to know and become better next time.
I enjoy the ability to roam around picking fights, and the flexibility to change out weapon loadouts for my bros. Perk system let's you specialize in a given direction, whether it be melee, ranged, defense, or utility. Starting from little to nothing to fully kitted out warriors is a great feeling, but you're never invincible, so you must always stay on your toes. Lots of unique character encounters and interactions and special location battles. And there are books based on this setting! Check out The Witch Hunter and The Captain by Casey Hollingshead, who wrote a lot of the dialogue in Battle Brothers. Can't wait for the developer's next game, Menace, although I was hoping for a Battle Brothers 2. If you enjoyed Mount & Blade and like tactical turn-based games as well, I think you'll really enjoy this game.
