This makes the combat all the more exciting and engaging because losing has substantial repercussions. Players must then decide how to invest their gold in hiring recruits or buying better gear and weapons for their “army”.Įnemies range from common thugs to the undead, and the mercenaries must face them sometimes to the death making the player lose valuable gold and equipment. The game takes place in a medieval setting giving the player control of a mercenary gang. But, I’d say Battle Brothers is up there with Kenshi regarding hand-holding (or lack thereof), and newcomers might find progress frustrating at even the lowest difficulty level. Now I don’t want to sound pretentious when I say something like Doom doesn’t require the same intellect or finesse it’s a challenging game in its way.

Games like Battle Brothers appeal to the hardcore audience that wishes to exercise the most important muscle of all – the brain.

Battle Brothers is one of those engaging tactical puzzles that revels in the brutality and sheer difficulty it offers.
