Welcome to Battle Brothers, a turn based tactical RPG which has you leading a mercenary company in a gritty, low-power, medieval fantasy world. You decide where to go, whom to hire or to fight, what contracts to take and how to train and equip your men in a procedurally generated open world campaign. Do you have what it takes to lead them through bloody battles and to victory?
The game consists of a strategic worldmap and a tactical combat layer. On the worldmap you can freely travel in order to take contracts that earn you good coin, find places worth looting, enemies worth pursuing or towns to resupply and hire men at. This is also where you manage, level up and equip your Battle Brothers. Once you engage a hostile party the game will switch to a tactical map where the actual fighting takes place as detailed turn based combat.
FEATURES
Manage a medieval mercenary company in a procedurally generated open world.
Fight complex turn-based tactical battles with historical equipment and brutal injuries.
Permadeath. All characters that die in combat will stay dead – unless they return as the undead.
All characters come with their own background stories and traits. Want a stuttering ratcatcher, a greedy witch hunter or a drunkard disowned noble?
Character development without a restrictive class-system. Each character gains experience through combat, can level up and acquire powerful perks.
Equipment that matters. Different weapons grant unique skills – split shields with axes, stun enemies with maces, form a spearwall with spears or crush armor with a warhammer.
Diverse enemy roster. All enemies have unique equipment, skills and AI behavior.
A dynamic event system with atmospheric encounters and tough decisions outside of combat.
Three late game crises – a war between noble houses, a greenskin invasion and an undead scourge – add a looming threat.
Two full hours of orchestral soundtrack.
70 Steam Achievements and Steam Trading Cards.
BATTLE BROTHERS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
In this FAQ you will find all your questions about our turn based strategy game Battle Brothers answered. If there is a question you have not found head over to the forums or shoot us an email at contact@battlebrothers.com.
WILL THERE BE MOD SUPPORT?
Maybe. We’d like to support modding eventually. However, our resources are limited and our priority is in creating the best possible core game first. It could be a while until modding becomes possible, if at all, and we can’t make any promises at this time.
WILL THERE BE MULTIPLAYER?
Battle Brothers is a singleplayer only game.
ARE YOU BE ABLE TO OWN A BASE?
No, as this would run counter to the concept of a roaming mercenary company.
ARE YOU BE ABLE TO BECOME KING OF THE LAND? CAN YOU BUILD A TRADE EMPIRE?
No. Battle Brothers is about leading a mercenary company of regular human beings in a low fantasy world, and that’s what we focus our resources on.
ARE THERE BE ELVES AND DWARFS I CAN HIRE? CAN I HIRE ORCS?
No. Battle Brothers is about leading a mercenary company of regular human beings in a low fantasy world.
ARE THERE MOUNTS FOR MY CHARACTERS?
No, the game is focused on skirmish-level infantry combat for now.
IS THERE A LEADER CHARACTER I CAN CREATE MYSELF THAT TAKES PART IN BATTLE?
No.
WILL THERE BE BATTLE SISTERS?
Not at first, as this would mean a considerable work-load when we want a whole lot of other things in the game, too. If ever there is an expansion beyond the initial release, we’d love to get female characters into the game as well. They’d come with their own backgrounds that take into account how a quasi-medieval world treats them, so they won’t just be male characters with different heads. Just like their male counterparts, some will be more and some will be less suited to the hard life as mercenaries.
WILL THERE BE OTHER ETHNICITIES PRESENT?
Not at first. If we ever get the chance to expand the game beyond it’s initial release we’d love to add different cultures to the game with the attention they really deserve. An oriental-based culture, for example, which could come with their own looks, names, character backgrounds, architecture, lore as conveyed by contracts and events, beasts based on oriental folklore, and loads of medieval-era equipment which actually makes a difference in gameplay.
