2024 Editor's Rating

Battle Brothers is a strategy RPG game developed by Overhype Studios. The game takes place in a medieval-inspired fantasy world where players take control of a mercenary company. The objective is to lead the company to fame, wealth, and glory by completing various contracts.

The game features turn-based tactical combat where players control up to twelve battle brothers with various skills and abilities. The brothers can be customized with different weapons, armor, and abilities to suit different playstyles. Movement and positioning play a crucial role in combat, as terrain and obstacles can affect line-of-sight and cover.

As the leader of the mercenary company, players must also manage resources such as food, supplies, and finances. Hiring new brothers, improving equipment, and repairing damages all cost gold which must be earned from completing contracts. The morale of the brothers is also important as low morale can lead to desertions or mutinies.

The Contracts available vary in difficulty and rewards. Some are simple delivery missions while others are full-on battles against Orcs, Undead, or other mercenaries. Reputation with different factions can affect the availability of contracts and prices. Players must carefully balance risk versus reward when accepting contracts.

Battle Brothers offers an immersive and challenging experience for fans of strategy RPGs. The game provides many hours of gameplay through procedural generated scenarios that keep the gameplay fresh and replayable.
