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.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
Since last update the gog galaxy can't apply the update. Tried reinstalling and the same happens - progress stuck at 91%. Can't download standalone installer either - reports error with download server. So pretty much the last update made the game unplayable for me.
I have nothing positive to say about it.
It's way too easy once you get the point.
DLCs would probably make the game deeper but I've been so disapointed by the base game that I will pass on that.
On a special note, I didn't like the writing in the game, I found it very unfunny overall.
This game is everything wrong with rng, It's very similar in playstyle to Warbands Bushido except somehow with less skill involved, considering Bushido is free, there's no reason to play this
Overpriced abandonware. No Linux? Check. No mods? Check. No ongoing AI improvement? Check.
This is a $9.99 indie game with a triple 'A' supporter edition price tag. Why is the supporter edition still available? Development is done.
The AI is fairly poor as well. They basically just play a meta game of, "KILL ALL PLAYER CHARACTER BROTHERS," which works well most of the time because they simply overpower you with gear/RNG. Once you even that out a bit with max level brothers and legendary gear it becomes painfully obvious that the AI is retarded i.e. when they chase a brother across the entire map who has one hit left instead of focusing everything they have on the one two handed sword brother cleaving three baddies at once. They will disengage a higher value opponent to go get that last hit on someone that doesn't really matter anymore.
There are other issues too, please read more reviews.
Save your money and look elsewhere. At least until the game is on sale for $10. They should have gone multiplatform, created robust modding tools, and continued to support their game. This game could have been a gem that more than justified the price. The way the community could have rallied around this game would be amazing. The endless amount of equipment, artwork, maps, enemies, and quests could have been outstanding. As it stands now it is simple overpriced abandonware. Really almost a mobile game that they decided to do for desktop environments instead of phones because of the terrible glut of garbage out there for mobile platforms.
TLDR; Overpriced abandonware.
