A rather strange, but interesting strategy - Battle Brothers - about the medieval times, when your class meant practically nothing, and weapons were given based on minimal skills and predisposition. Various settlements, robber camps, ruins of cities, moving squads of bandits and other knights will be opened on the map. Each new match the map is generated anew.
Battle Brothers offers its own, incomparable atmosphere and a unique concept that combines elements of a role-playing game and turn-based tactics in a medieval setting. The user creates his squad of mercenaries, and explores a huge world with many procedurally generated locations inhabited by hostile creatures. Before the start of the game, you draw up a contract - the key task of the match. It largely determines the structure of the settlements in the first steps: will they be whole or plundered, rich or burned.
The developers could not leave us without problems, so the game has special events:
- War of three houses;
- Invasion of the undead;
- Attack of goblins, orcs.
Each of your soldiers will have an experience bar that fills up due to participation in battles. You will be able to spend the points received after leveling up to increase the parameters of characteristics or acquire new skills. Since your entire squad consists of mercenaries, then know that the battle of any character in the game can be the last. During the adventure, the gamer will meet many characters, and not everyone will be hostile: some will want to join the treasure hunters, and you will have to make a decision: each fighter is not like the others, he has strengths and weaknesses. The staffing of the gang depends only on the leader. Each hero can be upgraded by choosing suitable perks and weapons with unique effects. But it is worth remembering: the deceased warrior will not return, and if he returns, then as a representative of the undead, and certainly will not help his former comrades.
The gameplay is represented by moving around the map, divided into hexes. If there is an enemy in the cell, the game switches to tactical mode, where the player participates in turn-based battles. The project received an unusual style and high-quality graphics, as well as more than 2 hours of a soundtrack recorded by a symphony orchestra. The developers approached each character with care, which will be displayed as pawns in chess. They added history, characters, injuries, illnesses, biography, learning speed and individual characteristics to the heroes. Those warriors that have increased health or survivability are more likely to be on the front lines, those that deal high damage from a distance, take a bow or crossbow, and stand behind. There are no specific classes in the game. A huge number of weapons armor and various items in the game - this is the global content of all Battle Brothers. You can create combinations for your characters to be more resilient on the battlefield.
