Battle Brothers

Fabulous mercenary game

I've played this game since early access on Steam and loved it from the beginning. It is brutally hard, unforgiving, and loads of fun. You are the newly appointed commander of an almost-destroyed mercenary company. With only three brothers left, you must recruit, feed, pay, and equip a new company. You'll run across ordinary bandits, goblins, orcs (shudder), the undead, and get wrapped up in the dirty business of war between noble houses. Unlike most games of this ilk, you aren't guaranteed to win every battle, keep every last brother alive, or even earn enough money through performing contracts. You'll have to restart many times before you get into the swing of it, even then, the challenge will always be there. Combat is turn based and you'll always have time to carefully plan out each move. The characters are each like a chess piece that can get decapitated if things go wrong. Your mercenaries level up, gaining new perks and abilities. You'll buy or scavenge the best gear you can for them, but there's always danger present. You'll become attached to some of your little men and mourn their loss. You can keep playing any particular game for as long as you want; there's never really an ending until you're satisfied with your success and retire or (more likely) you run out of food or money and your men desert one by one and/or get slaughtered to a man. Highly recommended for those who love good turn based tactics and management but aren't afraid to accept some ghastly defeats as you play through the game.
