Battle Brothers: Medieval Fantasy Turn-Based Tactical RPG

Explore a challenging medieval fantasy world with Battle Brothers, a turn-based tactical RPG where you lead your mercenary company into battle against brigands, orcs, undead and more.

What is Battle Brothers?

Battle Brothers is a challenging turn-based tactical RPG developed by Overhype Studios and released in 2017. It is set in a gritty medieval fantasy world where you take control of a mercenary company leading your ragtag band of sellswords into dangerous battles across the land.

As the commander, you must recruit men for your company, equip and level them up as you take on contracts from guilds, nobles and villages to earn money for better gear. You'll fight all manner of enemies including human brigands, orc warriors, undead hordes and monstrous beasts. Positioning and tactical decision-making is vital as permadeath means losing experienced bros can be crushing.

Key features include:

  • Challenging and strategic turn-based battles
  • Procedural world with changing politics and events
  • Permanent injury and death for your battle brothers
  • Diverse character backgrounds, traits and skills to manage
  • Huge variety of armor, weapons and accessories to find and equip
  • Camping system while travelling the world map
  • Arena battles and other content like camps and unique boss fights

With its high difficulty and punishing combat, Battle Brothers offers a deep tactical challenge as you travel around recruiting men, taking contracts and equipping your company in this medieval low-fantasy world.
