Back in 1982 my brother killed my 9th lvl party when he was surprised by a group of gas dragons. I was playing basketball with my neighbor when he told me. I winged the basketball at his head and scored a critical hit! I'm now 55 and he is 58. I still haven't forgiven the BUM. 5 star game and the crpg that started it all for me.
Great game when modded out.
I have played this game for over 400 hours on Steam. It is like playing an old AD&D campaign. Battle Brothers is one of the best tactical strategy games I have played. Do not get too attached to your brothers early on because until they get better armor they can bite it very easy. I love how it is important to use many different weapons in your band and you can't use the same strategy against every foe. Better bring hammers against orc warriors to get thru their armor. Facing a horde of undead? Better have a high resolve and set up spear walls. Have an expert bowman to take out that necromancer that is behind his undead horde? Leveling up your brothers and picking the right skills for that character is also important. If you like open world turn based tactical battles then this game is the game for you. It stinks there is no mod support and no DLC's planned but the game is great right now and bug free. My game of the year.
I am still playing Eador Genesis two years later. This is one of the greatest strategy games ever created. I have played almost all the classic strategy games and this is right up there with HoMM 3. Try it with the mod New Horizons after you play the base game and you will be blown away all over again. This is not an easy game and you better be ready for a challenge. I love the graphics but I played pong when it came out so what do I know :) Do yourself a favor and get this game if you like hard 4x games and if you care about strategy more then graphics.
