Game Overview

Battle Brothers is a turn-based tactical RPG that puts you in command of a mercenary company navigating a gritty, low-power medieval fantasy world. You control every aspect of your campaign in a procedurally generated open world, deciding where to travel, which contracts to accept, and whom to hire or fight. The game combines a strategic world map, where you manage your company’s roster, equipment, and resources, with a tactical combat layer featuring detailed turn-based battles. Each encounter demands careful planning, as your men face brutal injuries and permanent death—fallen characters are lost forever unless they return as undead. Every mercenary has a unique background and traits, allowing for diverse character development without restrictive classes, and experience gained in battle unlocks powerful perks. The equipment system is equally nuanced, with different weapons offering distinct skills such as forming spear walls or stunning foes. The world of Battle Brothers is rich and dynamic, featuring a wide variety of enemies with unique AI behaviors, equipment, and tactics. Outside of combat, a dynamic event system presents atmospheric encounters and difficult choices that shape your journey. As you progress, looming late-game crises, including wars between noble houses, greenskin invasions, and undead scourges, add layers of challenge and tension. The game’s immersive experience is enhanced by a fully orchestrated two-hour soundtrack and numerous achievements. Developed by Overhype Studios, an independent team from Hamburg, Germany, Battle Brothers draws inspiration from classic titles like the original X-Com, Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat, and Jagged Alliance, aiming to capture the creativity and depth of traditional tactical RPGs while delivering a challenging, rewarding gameplay experience.
