Battle Brothers is a turn based RPG all about tactical combat across a medieval Open World, with bandits, gobins, orcs, and more.
Think Mount and Blade, but turn based, as you roam around the map competing contracts for gold, hiring mercs, upgrading your gear, and improving your characters. Each individual soldier Lvls Up as they succeed in combat, and you can put in the attributes and choice a talent; mighty high lvl troopers are much better than raw recruits!

Battle Bros. differs from Mount and Blade by focusing around the direct control of a large section of up to 20 men, as opposed to real time combat with only general control of up to hundreds of troops.

So smaller unit tactics, but a deeper tactical and RPG focus, as you can specialize, equip, and stat all your troops, not just your companions, which means more of a focus on the RPG mechanics; cool.

Tough and challenging, Battle Bros pulls no punches, and will drop your boys in a minute if you give your foes a chance. Attacks of Opportunity are in, and are BRUTAL in BattleBros! If you or the enemy leave after becoming adjacent to a foe, these attacks keep triggering on each move attempt until you miss, or the enemy does! Ouch! Same goes for the Spear Wall ability, it will keep triggering and forcing foes back until you, or they miss; very powerful.

Remember: For attacks of opportunity and abilities like the SpearWall, there is no AP or fatigue limit to them: they will keep triggering until they fail to connect.
Did I mention the Hex grids! Oh Ya! No tiles, Hexes here, the most tactical of the turn-based movements patterns; only the best for Battle Brothers!

Anyway, make certain to use your weapon abilities to survive. Abilities are tied to your equipped weapons: Set up a Spear Wall to keep the enemy back and poke holes in em, form your men in a Shield Wall, interlocking their shields to protect the billmen / pikemen behind as they skewer and smash foes from behind your meat wall.
Sent out your archers / skirmishers on the flanks to blanket your foes with missile weapons to soften them up, and maybe drop a few before the lines meet.

Procedural Generation and optional Perma Death are present, adding both surprise and weight to your actions, as you attempt to hold your battle bros together and turn a profit in a bloody, gritty vicious world.

So Lvl Up your men, shaping them into a force to be feared, by bandits, greenskins, and perhaps even the terrifying and untiring ancient walking dead! Turn-based Tactics sandbox style awaits! Watch?
